Allison's Confirmation

June 7th was Allison's confirmation at the International Protestant Church of Brussels.  We have called this church home since our first spring in Belgium.  We've been blessed to share our Sunday mornings with wonderful people who come from all over the world.

The Smith Family

Julia, our niece, arrived that morning.  We were thrilled she could be there, along with Kathie and Diane, for such a special occasion.  Being so far from home, we never expected to have this many people to celebrate with!


She makes us really proud!

Not shy at all!

She was pretty happy to have her cousin here!

After the service, the Smiths had a wonderful lunch at their house.  Thank you to our friend Audrey for the delicious and beautiful cake!
Garrett and Allison

Time to relax and have some fun.
 Since it was Kathie and Diane's last night in Belgium, we went to the Grand Place to grab some souvenirs and see it one last time.

Julia's first waffle!  Watching friends and family enjoy their first waffle is so much fun.  They have absolutely no idea how delicious it is going to be!
 This brings us to the end of a wonderful visit!  Thank you Kathie and Diane for coming all the way to Belgium.  It meant the world to us to have you here.  Memories for a lifetime!

Until next time,
Wendy
