update

Sorry, I'm not on here much anymore... it's so easy to upload pics to facebook and snapfish... Blogger takes quite a bit longer. Anyway, here are some recent pics of the kids - as you can see, Gramma and Papa came out to see us this summer, we sure had a great time!! And since it has been so long since I've updated this blog, I guess I should tell you we're living in Augusta, Georgia now.. Sean is working on Fort Gordon at a Navy command that is like a little island in a sea of Army. The girls are going to "school" part time, they really like it so far! I can hardly believe that they will be three years old in a month and a half.... my babies are growing up quickly!!
Love to you all!

Visit from friends

We were very happy to see our friends from Tokyo when they came to Okinawa this month.. Toru and Rikako, along with their two daughters, Riko and Ran, and Toru's mom (I call her Okaasan, which means 'mom'). We did some shopping on the Friday they were here, then spent the next day at the aquarium. Kayla and Ran, the younger daughter, became fast buddies and held hands everywhere we walked. Makenna was interested, but she only wanted to hold mommy's hand... Anyway, we had a great time. Enjoy our photos!

bad, bad blogger...

Yes, I know how far away we live... and yes, I know the girls' appearances change rapidly.. and yes, I even know that some of you only see pics of them via this blog. I'm sorry!! I am! I know it has been eons since my last posting, but I promise, we really have been busy - for the most part... okay, some of it is laziness on my part..

So until I can sift through a couple months worth of photos and get them posted, here are a couple more recent ones to hold you over.

For those of you that don't already know, we will be leaving Okinawa in less than six weeks now and heading back to the U.S. Sean is taking a job in Augusta, Georgia. The girls and I (and little Pearl) will be staying with Gramma and Papa while Sean is attending schools in a couple different places. Anyway, getting ready for the move is a challenge, but we are looking forward to being closer to "home."

More soon.....

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at a little resort spot here called Okuma. The girls had a wonderful day playing in the warm sun, and I didn't have to cook dinner - I call that something to be thankful for! Plus, the icing on our cake was this amazing sunset to end our day....
