our last couple of days in Belgium

Today we are on our own. Aran's parents left yesterday and my parents and Brigitte left this morning.. What to do with a whle day to our selves.. we ended up taking the train back to Brugge.. just a 5 minute ride and probably the most impressionable time for Lilja. She was so excited . Notice her clasped hands.. there are two little red rocks in there that she found ans she wanted to keep them safe..  

 



we ended up having some bitterballs ( can's even explain the yummynes of them ) belgium fries and bought lots of chocolates for the last time.. and Lilja got to go in a merry go round.. first time by herself! however the plane was supposed to go up and down as she watched it .. but the man did not do it for her.. imagine the tears ;(

 The day when Aran's parents left we went to Ghent for the day.. Funny story: the spring before Lilja came into our lives, Aran and I went to Ghent with my sister Brigitte and went to this beautiful church called Sint Nicholas  church (fitting) Aran and I lit a candle and made a wish for a little one to come into our lives.. Today we wanted to go back to that church, but unfortunately the church was closed, so we went to another church and lit a candle again with Lilja and said thank you for making us a family. ,
