First stop was Princeton

'Wow Rachel, I love this present. You picked the perfect one!" Good job Rach. You knew what your little sister would love. (Notice the packing boxes in the background. We slept at their house just one night after they moved in. Don't you think Mel deserves a double good mark for hosting her in-laws that quick after a major move???)
I know Mel already posted this, but it is such a crack-up. 'Give me the frosting but I don't want to get messy!' She is an adorable one year old.
The cheerleaders of Kate's first birthday.
Jake and Mel's cute townhouse and their new van. From city folks to real suburbanites again. I loved their neighborhood and the town of Princeton. Super quaint.
I took the kids to the community pool. Great little swimmers. Jake said, 'they better be after all that money on swimming lessons!'....being there reminded me of our community pool in
Virginia. That was really the only thing I truly missed when we moved to Belgium. Such a great idea to share a huge pool instead of everyone owning a tiny one.
Good 'ol Rach. Still quite the bookworm. She is most happy when surrounded by her books. However now, instead of looking at them she reads them. They grow up way too fast!
