The little rugrat made her father some coasters in Pre-K for Father's Day.  Also included was a plastic shot glass with her picture taped to the bottom.  Just what every Dad needs!

It stormed pretty badly last week.  This is taken from the garage looking out across the street.  Oh how it poured!  Our basement flooded.  

Here are some lovely purple somethings that are growing in our yard.  

Oh, how I love my new camera!

Upcoming travel Plans!

We've got a few trips planned over the next few months.  I know these are subject to change, nothing is ever set in stone, but here's what we've got coming up!

• Minnesota and North Dakota for a month.  Woohoo, Starbucks!
• Mediterranean cruise.  We're planning to drive to Rome, spending the night in Switzerland on the way, cruising from Rome to Sicily, Crete, Athens, and Turkey and then driving back from Rome, spending a few days in Venice, and hitting another locale in Switzerland and one in France before coming home.
• A week in Ireland in September.  I really need to get on to getting rooms for this one...
• A weekend at a B&B in Normandy.  

I have a lot of other ideas as well.  We need to get to a bazillion places here and there is just only so much time.  I am very aware of the time.  

Welcome to our Blog!  I hope that we will be sharing many pictures of the family as we travel Europe.  I guess I can use this post to practice, and post a photo.  I hope.

Here's a pic of the rugrats in Rome.  I took them there in February and we fell in love with this city.  I hope to blog about this trip one day, because I have notes up the wazoo. 

We'll see how this goes.  Between our lovely Belgian internet service and my fantastic computer skills, it will be something.
