Here is a little info about what we are up to...
Maria: Busy with finals. She had one on Friday, 2 today, 2 tomorrow and 1 on Wednesday. There is no school for her on Thursday, then her classes start again on Friday. Her schedule won't change too much. In the IB program, you have the same classes each semester, just more intense.
Leah: Playing the Bass in the orchestra. She is pretty good and cute when she tries to handle the huge instrument. She moved up a level in French and is the star of the family in foreign language. She wants me to add that she is good at everything.
Jennifer: Playing the Viola in the orchestra. She carries it to and from school daily and even diligently practices. She is tops in Math and can do anything with fractions. She wanted me to add that she is better (than her sister) at everything.
(There is a little sibling rivalry here!)
Bob: Traveling to Spain a lot. He is not complaining at all and loves to eat Jamon, baby lamb and Rioja on every visit. Living just a few countries away lets him come home more often. When we lived in the US he would come to Europe and stay for weeks. Now he travels around Europe and comes home for dinner!
Julie: Toured the European Parliament last week. Don't tell the Belgians but it was very boring. A newer and much more exciting interest is going to Trocs. They are just huge buildings full of high and low quality antiques. Also starting a knitting class in late January.
My next post will be pictures of my recent (and cheap) purchases at a Troc.

The Overijse pool, or should I say, Begijntjesbad, is unbelievable. The entire complex is indoors with an olympic size pool, kiddy area wit...
Ooh, the IB program. I was in that in high school, until my family transferred to a new state without IB. It's a great program though.
ReplyDeleteTrocs sounds interesting - is it in Brussels. I look forward to your photos.
Please ask Bob to bring back some of that warm Spain weather when he goes next time? At least the snow is starting to melt here. :)
