Pigging out

Here we are 2 nights before we go to the states. We are eating sushi, and our mouths are full! We just had family photos done earlier. Noah wanted viewers to know that Mia got in trouble .and mia wanted viewers to know, that noah is good at game boy!!!

Raspberries

One day my mom went to pick
RASPBERRIES, and they were great.
You can tell just by looking at them.
They go good with sugar. You should
try them someday.

Killed two birds with one stone!!

While in Tokyo, we went to a pig seminar. The speaker we had already met at a different seminar a year ago. Also, at the Tokyo station, we could watch some Japanese traditional things,

Tokyo

This outside photo is while we walked away from the American embassy. We had too many things to take care of, but hopefully now everything is done. Cross is now considered an American.

This swan belongs to the Emperor's palace. We could see 2 swans swimming by while we looked out of our hotel window.

The guest from Panama!

Here we met up with relatives from Panama. Actually, they are all Japanese, but 25 years ago left to live in Panama. They have 2 kids who attend international school . The photo is from a bbq party at katsuya's.

Something new

Baby and mommy are checking out the toy we received from the doctor when Cross was born. He does not look as excited as his big sister Jasmine was though.

It's new!

Yes, and it flushes with water. Can you believe our area of Japan did not have flushing toilets until a month ago. Here is our new toilet complete with heated seat, shower for your bottom, and dryer for your bottom!

Sunny Sunday

Ice-cream at 31 flavors! We do not have flushing toilets, but we have 31 flavors!

Bascketball game

Noah is looking cool playing basketball. He recently gave up ballet of 6 years to sweat it out on the court.

Struggling with passport

Too many passports for our good! Each child has 2 of them. I will be in charge of 9 passports total. It looks like 7-8-06 will be Appleton!

This is our ballet practice building

You can see this face of a man here. His name was Tanakadate. He lived in our city of Ninohe in the time of Einstein. In fact this doctor was a friend of his. On display, you can see some letters that were exchanged between these friends. This is also our ballet place.

Everyone is busy but baby

Today was basketball for Noah, Ballet for the girls, and stay comfortable for baby. Katsuya drove everyone here and there and Cross rode along for the ride. Baby is wearing Yuki San's outfit with Mr. Piggy!

We are playing Easter

A bit late, but that is ok.. We never got a chance to celebrate Easter with all the activity around that time,　so we did it tonight.

Train station, ice cream and father's day

Take a look at the station sign behind Noah. They were at Kotsunagi Station just checking things out. Noah also got lucky with an ice-cream from that area!

Also, today was Fathers Day!!! The gang is all here!h

Lake Towada, our favorite place

Here are photos of today. Mia is not pictured because she thought her friends's house would be more fun. Water was freezing in this area, but warm in another. Lake Towada is a great place to walk around. Visitors from all over Japan come here and paint and take photos.

First passport photo and mom's cookies!

We are plannning to go back to the U.S. in July, so Cross took his first passport photo today. It was hard to balance him while the photographer was taking Cross. We also had mom's tasty cookies today. It was the best one!

Looks good!

Tonight e ate at a nearby place and ordered spicy noodles served cold with fruit, egg, and vegetables. We ordered curry rice, and gyozo too.

School trip

Today was a school trip for Mia and her 6th grade. They will stay overnight too. 7am was departure. Mia ended up forgetting her brush, sweatshirt, and mat. I tried to tell her to prepare.
