House, Brussels, etc...

For those of you who have not yet heard... We have finally picked out our home for the next couple of years and will get the keys tomorrow!!! We are very excited because it is a bigger place than we anticipated renting and the location is great! Just a short 15 minute stroll to the center of Leuven... :) We are the brown building that Mike and Rylee are posing in front of!

Also, since we received our air shipment last Friday, our small apartment seemed to get smaller and well, let's just say that Rylee will be glad to have more space in our new home... her own space!

     

This past weekend we went to Brussels and visited the Grand Place and the "Manneken Pis," which in Dutch means the "little pee man." The Manneken Pis is a small bronze fountain sculpture of a little boy urinating.  Apparently they will frequently dress this statue up in various costumes and will occasionally hook him up to kegs of beer so he will... you know... pee the beer! Yum! ;) Only in Belgium... 

    

The weather here has been great and the trees are blooming, as are the tulips.  We are really enjoying this opportunity and I still can't believe that I get to live here!!! What a blessing...
