One in, one out

We've been so lucky to have a revolving door of grandparents for the last month plus.  My mom and Mark were first up, arriving the end of September.  The were here a week, went to toodle around France for a little while, and came back to stay a bit longer.  The day after they left, my dad arrived for ten days.  What a nice little last minute visit that was.  The very next day after he returned to Oregon, Brian's dad Larry arrived from Pennsylvania.  He just left this morning after traveling with us over to Ireland for the kids fall break.  Yes, fall break...thanks to Belgium's heavy Catholic influence.  All Saints and All Souls are huge enough to grant a week off to pretty much everyone here.  Irish kids were off too.  More later with pictures, but this is a short little update for now and may explain the lack of posts in the past month or so.
