We're going to try something new...

Okay - we are, for the most part, bad at keeping in touch. Between the kids, work, business trips and language lessons - well things get a little hectic.

So I thought we'd try this blog thing out to see if we could at least let you know what is going on in our little corner of the world - and share some of our experiences with being European-ey.

European-ey? you ask... the term was invented over a few glasses of wine and a good dinner at Hugh & Miche's a few years back. A friend had recently starting working for a company that made some "chocolatey" products - and the explanation of chocolatey (being chocolate like but not really chocolate if I remember correctly) somehow got translated into us being "european-ey". We have picked up a lot of the local habits and customs (some good some frightening) and could sometimes be mistaken as Europeans - but underneath it all we are not (we're just good ol' Canucks!)

So - it seemed a somewhat appropriate title for our blog as we have now had two babies here and bought a house and appear to be staying - Stu and I are both studyiung Luxembourgish (he's learning much faster than I am...).

Most of all we'll try and just post things so that you can know what is going on with us and find out what the kids are up to. We miss everyone at home - don't forget you are always welcome to visit!!
