Our blog has been silent for a whole month, but that doesn't mean that we've been up to nothing. Quite the contrary! We're heading to the Holy Land at the end of the week, so we wanted to make sure to squeeze in a post before we head out, so that we won't have a completely silent September.
At the end of August, our lovely friend Anna visited en route between Ireland and Switzerland. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and the pretty sites in Leuven, as well as sampling some frites and Belgian beer.
September has been a busy month! We moved into a new apartment and we're still working on getting everything set up. Anya finalized her long-term visa and began the residency process, so we've been enjoying lots of paperwork (a Belgian national pastime, it seems).
The weather has definitely changed to fall, with mostly chilly, and often rainy, days and cool nights. Robert started Flemish classes and Anya will follow suit soon. Robert has been really busy with his work at imec, putting in long days working on conference proposals and all sorts of fun things. Anya is working on setting up some volunteering at a local school. We've both joined our church choir, and Anya has joined one of the university choirs. So we're settling in and staying busy!
