We had a fantastic visit with Tim and Claire! We toured Mons, Bruges, Dinant, Brussels, and Gent. It was so great having them stay with us. We enjoyed many dinners together, good conversations, and some much needed family time. The boys are especially missing their bike rides with Uncle Tim! We were all sad when they left, but are thankful for our good memories from their visit.
