Happy Easter to all


It is late, and I am tired, but I wanted to post some pictures while all is quiet before going under the covers. The Easter weekend brought sunshine, snow, and hail, at times all together it seemed. The weather was as weird as it can be in Texas. Evelina had her first Easter-egg hunt and she enjoyed it very much, especially the eating of the chocolate afterwards. It is all hidden in the cupboard now and will be doled out sporadically. This child does not need her energy level revved up by chocolate! She is plenty active without it. But it is, I must say, a wonderful sight to see her enjoy eating a piece of chocolate and hear her exclaim with all her passion "mama, it's VERY good!"

Today we made a little day trip to Brugge (Bruges) to remind up how close it is to us now. We met with hail on the way over there, yet had sunshine while there, as well as a brief but ferocious snow storm while in town. I just wanted to share a few pictures from today with you all, since I haven't really provided any visual evidence of that fact that we really are living in Belgium. Evelina loved all the horse-drawn carriages that parade through town. We also went inside the church where she was amazed by all the candles. And she saw her first Michaelangelo sculpture in person. It thought it was appropriate this event should take place in Belgium, ha.












I promised pics of the house too. The team that is working on plastering the walls is moving along great. They make a huge mess (if we had not already decided to have the floors redone we would now!) but they are also leaving a result that finally is starting to make the place look like something we could actually move into. It has taken a long time.... However, still lots to be done. Hope you all had a nice easter.
