Five long grueling days, but we made it. We graduated from Hilda's Dutch Headstart. We learned enough Dutch to get by, but it is hard to use it because most people here will speak English. Hilda, who is with us in the picture, takes her class and her graduation ceremony very seriously. She even gave us a diploma. Joe got two of them and Hilda said he had to hold both of them up for the picture because, "he earned them." Needless to say Joe made teachers pet.
On our Dutch Headstart class field trip we went to an area where Germany, The Netherlands, and Belgium all meet. Joe and I are standing right on that point. We are in all three countries at one time. All three countries signed a treaty to keep the area a park. It sits on top of a large hill with amazing views of all of the countries around it. Pretty cool place.

WOW you two have had a busy week! Congrats on finishing your head start program. Jen you need to learn to be more of a suck up like Joe, he's always the teacher's pet.
Congratulations!!!! :)
I remember listening to you study when you were home:) Joe was the teacher's pet? I'm so surprised:)
Wow Joe, his pic is like in your favorite movie, A Walk to Remember, where the guy takes her to the state line- So she is in two places at once...How romantic...NOT!!!!
Contratulations on your first degree in Europe. What's the longest word you know? I can't imagine that Joe is the teacher's pet AGAIN....Love your pictures and stories.
