Emily and I have a rule we normally follo whenever we have to move. It's something we started on the first move after we married. We never evaluated a place we lived until we had been there for six months. We've almost at the four month mark, but I asked Em what she tought about our new home. I guess the topic came up because we were picking up after a party at our house. It was a friend's suprise party that we hosted. (Low country boil did not help how much I miss Southern cuisine). Anyway, Emily likes the layout of our house. (It's a great house when we aren't snow bound). The fact that we can easily to travel throughout Europe is another huge plus. I think the thing that is helping us feel most at home is that our battalion has a real sense of family. We'd heard about the sense of family in military communities, but this battalion really embodies that sense of community.
On the family front, Isaac managed to make it through a 2 hour lunch with flying colors this afternoon. A friend's baby was baptized this morning, so we went to the Anglican chapel service. Afterwards, we had lunch with them at Maison Du Berger, which lasted the mornal time for a meal at a Belgium restaurant. Isaac never complained. He never tried to get up. Basically, there was no problem at all with a two year old at a restaurant for two hours.

Thank God for a battalion with a sense of family! But still, there's no place like home! I can't say it enough: "y'all have been blessed with a really good little boy! How did the 3-month old do at lunch? Love y'all! Momma
P.S. Did the 27-year old behave at lunch?
Really glad you are feeling at home with the families in your battalion. Love that little boy, Isaac, he knows what to do and not to do. Enjoyed talking with you all today.
