Fall leaves all around! Who said we didn't have autumm in Arizona! You can just get it in a bag at Target!
Mrs. Dieu's preschool had a Halloween Party. 
All these skeletons had the hicups. Thank you Mrs. Diew for doing such a great job with my little boy!
20 years ago, my best friend Vanessa and I went to Paris for a week-end. We had promised each other to go back and meet 20 years later. That was in November 1989 (the day the Berlin wall came down) and so it was time! So we did just that. She still lives in Belgium, so it was a wee bit easier for her, but we had a blast!!! The weather was sublime too, not a cloud in the sky, not too cold, just perfect, just like the whole day was!
Vanessa doesn't use a map or relies on her own to find places, she just asks anyone that looks official enough, like cops on roller blades.
La Seine
A Montmartre
Arc the triomphe, Champs Elysee .
Peace monument, at the end of Le champs de Mars.
This is where "Patachou", the restaurant used to be. It is now, recenlty, a jewlery and art store. This is where we had said we would eat, 20 years ago...we just ate at a fastfood instead!
Montmartre, le Sacre Coeur.
La pyramide du Louvres .
My brother and family, he loves modern furniture, kinda different from here.
My parents' back yard. Typical Belgian weather, inside a raining cloud!!!!
My twin...ever wonder what I'll look like in 28 years?
My elementry school, where my dad taught PE for 30 years (hmm, yeah, I had him for 6 years in school, yeah...not)
But all in all, it is a fun experience! Alex was born on October 18th, 1993. He was a big 9lbs 4 oz, 21 3/4 inches long baby. He was the reason I stayed in the US, I truly believe I would have given into my homesickness and gone home if it wasn't for him. He strengthened our marriage, made us parents at a young age, and we have no regrets. He was our little buddy, an only child for 7 years. He prayed for a baby for two years (you'd never know it now to see how him and Maddy annoy each other).
Not an Ipod, just Mom's MP3 wrapped up in a box, we're so funny!
Merci Granny and Grandma, money is always welcomed from a broke-wanna-date-16 yr old!
Hoping that we got him what he wants, and not a Nanno or a fake water-gun look alike Ipod thing.
YES! Ipod Touch, at last!
That even deserved a hug, those are rare at this age!
Happy happy happy!
I think I look pretty good for my age ;)
One Euro is $1.45, yes, all that to pee...I even tried to pee twice for that price, but nope!
Back in Liege, at the train station, very tired, very happy to have had a great day.
