Night 1

Liesl and Meredith utilized their musical expertise at the choir dress rehearsal at Liesl's "school". As young Avery fell off the third floor risers, Meredith and Liesl quickly used their "yet to be fulfilled" mothering skills to nurse her back to health, regardless of her proclamations of "I'm fine!"

They then scurried back to Liesl's and got all "gussied" up for the mulled wine and minced meat pie party at her British friends' flat. Liesl would soon find out that minced meat pie is actually NOT filled with meat, but rather raisins, candied fruit and apples. Upon their arrival, a well-meaning and overly excited Liesl turned to introduce Meredith to her friends and in the process spilled wine all over Meredith's new shirt (new as in "not worn many times"...don't worry Nate). See photo :)


Jet-lagged and overly tired, the two made a quick exit and Meredith almost got the Belgian kiss down without licking anyone's face like an over-eager cocker spaniel. When they arrived home, they both enjoyed a cup of chili made earlier in the afternoon (because the minced meat pie did not cut it) and Meredith enjoyed her much anticipated first bowel movement in Belgium! Our hopes and prayers are that everything will be "regular" from now on and we will no longer have to update on Meredith's bodily functions.

And now with Liesl and Meredith both content in their pjs (actually a hawaiian mumu for Meredith...Liesl doesn't feel comfortable revealing her nighttime attire) they settle in and bid you a bon nuit!
