Baby may be having fun in Europe but he is still very much a Canadian!

Mowgli in Tervuren on New Year's Day. We had a beautiful snowy Christmas season! But mild, just at freezing.

Baby loves taking the tram!

On Dec. 27th we celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary.

Today was a very rainy day and quite mild so I put the Baby in the jogger and went running in the park and with the plastic shield, he did not get wet. Mowgli followed us the whole way. Pushing a big boy in the stroller is a workout in itself. Doing it while running is super hard. We were going to get together with E and baby but my Baby kept sleeping and waking him would have been unfair. We'll get together another day. Baby has almost got both eye teeth now! Little fangs. Talked to my folks a couple of times together. They love the reno job that was done while they were here this past month. They'll send photos soon.

Gramma took Baby for a looooong walk today and they fed the ducks at Woluwe Park. Meanwhile, the runners enjoyed a run followed by a sauna. Yesterday we also went to the park on a hike with E and her Mom and baby. Afterwards we came back home for tea/cake and the babies played. At one point, our baby sat on E's baby and they both got scared and cried a bit. Very cute. E said let's do something fun on Monday! Tuesday is coffee morning at C's and I really have to get back to my book and take Baby to the pool.

The weather has been very beautiful with clear, blue skies and snow on the ground and hovering at zero. Looks very Christmasy. Didn't think we would have a white Christmas in Belgium. Meanwhile, everyone had a green one back home. Folks are now packing to leave tomorrow. It'll be hard to say good bye but we'll look forward to the next adventure with them.

Happy New Year everyone! It has been a very busy time. On the 27th, our 6th anniversary, we enjoyed going to LOTR while Baby was babysat by his grandparents. He was good as gold. Afterwards we went for a short time to the Cables of champagne and crepes. On the 28th, we had part two with a dinner out at a Thai resto on Wavre. Now as I type this, our entire backyard is full of snow. It is quite a Winter Wonderland which we never expected. Meanwhile, Toronto had a green and mild Christmas. We had flurries on the 23rd which was charming. On New Year's Eve we had a seafood bonanza to write home about. And yesterday, we took a tram ride from the Woluwe St. Pierre Park through the forest to the town of Tervuren where we enjoyed a short hike followed by some Corsendonk beer at a Christmasy pub. Baby loves going on trams/trains etc. and looked out the window. What a beautiful ride! And in the pub, as usual, Baby played with the beer coasters. This particular beer was not fabulous but it is still fun trying! Baby just got up and so I gotta get cracking. What a beautiful wintery day.
