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.....
