Visitors

View from Brugge Bell Tower - a stop on the Hugh & Tracie Belgian Tour

February was visitor month!  We were very excited to have two sets of visitors from home.   This was the first time that we hosted anyone other than our parents.  It also coincided with our six month mark of living in Belgium.   When I think back to the early fall, we could not have pictured being able to take our guests on the tram/train system, knowing where to make dinner reservations, having babysitters lined up so we could go out, and most importantly playing tour guide!

The kids love visitors :)

 We also had "local" visitors at our home.  Hugh and I hosted a family valentine party with some great people we have met here.  We had five couples over and their eight children.  The chaos made it feel like a real Kelly gathering.  Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the US were all in the house.  All in all - the six month mark felt pretty good!
