Yesterday morning my youngest brother Nathan came for a visit. My parents are coming next week and so he came a bit early to play. It's been so fun to have him around (wicked British accent and all) and my cheeks are sore tonight from laughing so hard today. The boys insist that he plays endless games of soccer and reads their bedtime story, and Charlotte refuses to hold anyone else's hand but his when crossing the street. Today was our first full day out and about and we had so much fun!
I'm pleased to announce that Nathan was officially introduced to the world of public transportation:
We hit one of my favorite places in town, the flea market:
and found these amazing, not-very-well-pictured, emerald green strands of beads from Ghana. I'm stoked and I'm sure Nathan's girlie-friend back home will be too. ;>
And then stopped for lunch at my favorite fry ("frites") place in town at Place Jourdin:
We walked around a bit more and made it back in time to pick up the boys from school. We have many more full days ahead of us and I am so excited to have him here!
ps - more of your questions are coming up soon....I'm not avoiding the answers, I'm just a little behind :>

ooh...buying jewelry for the lady friend. atta boy.
i just got caught up on your blog and i love the Q&A's! i can't think of any good questions right now but other people had some good ones and it was really interesting to read your answers!
Nathan! You need to come spend a week in Utah with me! We can sit in my cubicle all day or maybe go on a sales call and then if we feel really adventurous you can come to class with me for 3 hours every night. I promise nothing new and early nights. What do you say??? Oh wait you're in Belgium going to flea markets and eating "frites"? Its okay I'll take a rain check.
- your brother paul
Have fun with the family! I am happy for you that you have a visitor and more to come. We can't wait to have our turn! Enjoy!
how fun to have family come visit!!
btw, do your boys have year round school?? or do they take "summer" breaks?
that's so cool. I'm glad you get to have family come visit. I think that would be the HARDEST thing about living far away. And it would be so cool to go visit family in another country to know the sites to show you and such..
