IT IS HOMECOMING...in Brussels. We had a fabulous weather and a full weekend. The football team even won their game which is saying something. Sarah and Anna each had two volleyball matches and Benjamin came in third on his cross country team and 11th overall in a field of 100+. Signs of autumn are everywhere--the kids have to drag me away from collecting chestnuts, and leaves are falling. Here are some pictures so you can enjoy with us. Happy fall.
In August, 2007, David accepted a three year appointment to the NATO Senior Civil Emergency Planning Committee, and the Passeys packed up and moved across the world! Sarah, Benjamin, Anna, Matthew, Julia, Beth, and David are now living on waffles, chocolate, and fizzy water. We explore, learn, and miss our friends, but are collecting new ones every day.
