Thanks for the Bells Thanks for the bells, Kara....they were great to hear again. You both have given so much to "the girls"...they will forever be influenced by their experiences. You rock!
Bells Kara, I am at my desk, at Children's Hospital, playing the "bells" on my computer, and between the sound of those, and the view of the Begjinhof in the background, I am nostalgic over my brief time in Europe. Thank you again for providing me that opportunity, but I am REALLY glad you are coming home. I have missed you. Love, Mom
WOW@ Hey guys! Just finished up reading everything and I mean everything! I just can't believe how much you have fit in during your time in Europe. It is going to be crazy to come home. How will you do it? Hope to read a few more entries before your return. We'll be waiting to hear the final details.
Miss you so much. xoxox
All's Well That Ends Well! The pictures are terrific, everyone looks as though they are having a great time..how did we miss that meter of beer when I was there??????? That looks great!! Visitng with you was an incredible experience that I will always treasure, as will everyone else who made the journey.....THANK YOU!!
That's Molly That is definitely a Molly Picture, don't worry, I will make sure everyone sees this! I am sure you will miss Europe, but in some ways I am sure you miss the U.S. Next time you adventure over there I will have to come visit!
Hey...these pictures are great, what a great trip. I love the one of Eliza eating breakfast!!! Now I have to add Spain to my list of places to visit as well. Love, Mom
Ughhh!!!!!!!!! I am so jealous!! I think we should have spent a month with you guys. Sounds like a great time, exciting, and nerve wracking all in one. Keep up the good times, can't wait to hear about the next big trip. And then......HOME!!! :)
Thank you once again for sharing with us. Next time I'm going for sure. Wendy says for my 60th birthday...it's closer than I'd like to admit. Enjoy the rest of your stay.
Thank you Kara,
Thank you for the beautiful travelog! It brought tears to my eyes. Wendy, Bill and the kids are blessed to have such wonderful friends. Wish I were there with them!
What a treat to read this and to see the pictures. Sounds like everyone is having a wonderful time--what a gift. Bill got in a what--a fight! What the heck, is he trying to do time and enrich his European experience:) Keep smiling and don't forget the breathing exercises when things seem totally out of control, which they may at times. Thanks to your good friends for hosting our family. You got to love those sabbaticals! Love and safe travels to all. P.s. Have the kids eat a big waffle for me:))
Great pictures and narrative. Everyone sounds and looks as though they are having a terrific time!! Can't wait to get there.
Go Sox (Erin and I are going to Game 2 of the World Series tonight-pinch us, we must be dreaming!!).
Happy Anniversary (Belated!) Happy Anniversary to you both! We still love reading all about your adventures and seeing all the awesome pictures! We miss you all and David especially misses Abigail! He is anxiously awaiting January! Have a wonderful time with Sophie - we want to see lots of picutres and hear all her stories when she returns! Enjoy!
Hi Kara. The pictures of Ireland are wonderful! It looks so beautiful and "green" there. A girl who works with me is from Ireland and returns to visit family regularly so she appreciated the pictures and commentary. The family looks like they are having fun.
Pannekoken Kara,
Just last week I spoke with someone that I work with that is a native of the Netherlands and she recommended the Pannekoken highly as being as near to a native food as we would get. Can't wait!
town travels I know I'm not alone saying how we love your travels. I feel as a passenger on the trains and walk-abouts with you. The girls look wonderful and sooo adventurous.
Our family (Kara, Jonathan, Emma, Abigail & Eliza) are originally from western Massachusetts in USA, but now we are living in Leuven, Belgium for the next 7.5 months and traveling around Europe.... full info
