The move |
|
|
|
After much hard work and preparation, we headed from Denver to Belgium on December 28, 2002. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
The dogs weren't crazy about the whole trip, but they arrived healthy and very happy to be with us! This was their first flight! |

This is a picture of the house we are renting while in Belgium. It's an 1860 farmhouse. Nicely renovated and very comfortable. Notice the field of little white flowers in the foreground, they sprouted in January and bloomed in February! |
|
|
|
|
|
The kids started school on Monday, January 6, one week after arriving here! They wear simple uniforms and have adjusted well. They are attending an international school with instruction in English. |
