Ouch!

Poor little baby! Flu shots for all of us. Now that I think of it I'm sure we looked as though we should have been in the news or something. All 6 of us were sitting next to eachother waiting for the nurse to shoot us. This office was not a place to get shots, only a doctor office. The doctor came out of his main check up room and simply stood there watching. He just watched !!! It is amusing to me now.

Friends

We were lucky to meet with a friend of ours. Her name is Chieko Sato. Look at her little girl baby! Cute! Baby is Tomoko in Japan, and Annie in Canada! Mommy is actually Canadian.Daddy is Japanese.

On display

Mia had her lamp ballerina chosen for display at the culture center. It was really nifty. We thought it was cute.

Morioka

This is a drum shop in the city. Japanese drums are very interesting, and you can maybe see the owner of the store in the window. He is putting one together.

This is Mt. Iwate. It already has snow too.

Check this out!

Do you know the Bumbo sofa from South Africa?Well, we bought it. It is for any baby who can hold his head up- 10 kg. Cross weighs 11 kg. This is about 24lbs... He loves it. It molds around baby, and baby cannot move.

Back at the horse ranch

We have been spending more time at the polo place lately. Mia and Noah take class, and Jas just rides. Here you can see the owner with baby Cross. I think they look good together! TodayMia took her first fall. The horse was going too fast around a corner and banged into the guardrail.

New York City!

These are from New York! Yeah right! Actually, some areas get a lump sum of money from the government. This is what they chose to spend it on. A little strange don't you think? Anyways, the day was a beauty as you can see.

The area around here has a walk around park. Kind of pretty.

Yokohama China Town

Did you know Yokohama has a China town? Noah and I went to the China town in Yokohama. You can see some neat buildings too. Also I put Jennie Finch's photo too!(Most popular softball player in the US)

USA Softball Team

We could go the international softball tournament in Yokohama Stadium. The weather was a little bit cold, but we had a nice sunny day. We saw the game America vs Netherland and America vs Japan. Team America won two games! Noah and I were very exicited about how cute the US softball players were!!

Swine Seminar in Tsukuba

Noah and I just came back from Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture tonight. We again joined the pig seminar. Five speakers gave speeches including Mr.Connor from the U.S. Noah got a lot of knowledge about the pig diseases!

Mom's cup cake.

We asked mom to have something good for us today after school. We had chocolate cake and sprinkled cupcakes. Look!

Bite!

Guess what this is. I found it at Target. A lady approached me while I was looking at baby feeding items. She told me that it was something that Ineeded to buy; her daughter had one and loved it. It is a net on a holder and it snaps open. You can put fruit, or whatever you want in it, and the baby will not choke. Cross was lucky on this one! I gave him fresh picked raspberries. These were the ones that Father G. Sturm gave me 10 years ago. They are Swiss berries. Cross went wild!

World Trade Center

Today we are planning to see this movie tonight. Our day included a little shopping at a new mall an hour away from us. At this store, we noticed the prices of American holiday items. You would not believe it! Do you know those little yard moving decorations? Maybe 2 ft. tall? Well, would you pay 120 dollars? Also, those blow up yard toys that we pay 99 dolars for are priced 499dollars!!!

What a flight!

Jasmine and Noah flew through the air upside down at an amusement park. I could not stand to even watch!

This was a short 1 hour visit because we had other things going on.

horse or dog?

WE went horsebackriding the other day 1 hour from our home. We were so excited to see the horses until we sae the 5 darling dogs! This shot is tooooooooooooooooo cute!

Fall

The kids were pretending to be statues in front of a bakery shop that makes German bread. This place is one of our favorites when we go to Morioka. Also in Morioka on this day this lady is making a Japanese soup in this huge cement pot. The large rock is located 10 minutes from our place. They call it the Boy mountain. Behind this glass window you see kiku or mums. They are made from sugar. Everything in this shop can be eaten. Kind of pretty!

Seminar in Tokyo

Hachiko in Shibuya The Palace Hotel Pig Seminar



We went to tokyo on Oct31. I had a verry good time. the seminar was so long that I amost
fell a sleep. But at the end I got to meet the American people. When we were on the train
I played my game boy for a little time. But most of all, I had a good time.
