Friends from the States

This weekend, a friend from the chaplain's basic course came by for the weekend.  Tim was a great support for Emily while I was deployed, and she was excited to finally meet him and his wife, Kim. 

As you see from the picture, we finally went to actually see Mannequn Pis.  It's the small statue of a little boy peeing in a fountain.  It's a well-known landmark in Brussels.  We'd been within 2 blocks of it, and never actually found it.  You can see it's not exactly a large statue.

We never could get Isaac to call Kim anything other than "Mrs Amanda."  I have a friend here that he calls "Mr Tim."  His assumption seems to be that anyone named "Mr Tim" must be married to a "Mrs Amanda."

However, Isaac did ask for "Mr Tim" on the way to and from school this morning.  He was not happy to be told that Mr Tim and Mrs Kim were in Brugge.
