Ghent
While Mike was at work and the boys were at school, we ventured off to Ghent and saw some canals, visited a Belgian tapestry store, explored a castle, and had an all-around good time.
Pretty Ghent!
What a dramatic sky! On our day there, it rained some and the sun peeked out some. (Not too surprising!)
The stunning Castle of the Counts
Beautiful stone architecture
This castle, at different times, was a Governor's home, a cloth & textile factory, and a prison.

C&A's Birthday
While Grandma & Pop were visiting, Colin & Aidan celebrated their 9th birthday. Where does the time go?!? They are growing up into sweet boys, and we love them more than anything!
Opening one present before school!
Opening presents from the aunts & uncles...Thank you!
Party time with pizza and bowling! (The birthday boys' choice, of course)

Our happy family
Lille, France
On the Eve of Thanksgiving, we drove less than an hour to Lille, France. Once there, we explored the city streets, admired work in the Palais des Beaux-Art museum of Lille, and walked through a Christmas market.
Great sculpture space

Beautiful Lille!
