There is this really great Japanese place across the street from our apartment called Gen's
They have the BEST fried rice and California rolls mmmm...
And yes Alison is watching herself drink a glass of water in her mirror.
Ethan ate too and then went to sleep :)
At home snuggled next to dad
"What is this?"
"I like it!"
Ethan enjoys taking a bath!
Post bath snuggles with dad
Yep, I really do <3
Love being a mom
Tea Party!
Ethan hanging out with one of big boys in our building
Alison likes helping mommy with the stroller, she is a really great big sister.
So little.
This is mom multi tasking: feeding Alison dinner and giving the baby his bath.
which he loves
The cutest little boy I've ever seen
love that little guy
Ali loves painting!
Her finished project!
Alison sitting by the fifth floor's number five that's in front of the elevator
At Blue Seal a Japanese ice cream place that made to look like 50s America but the food still has a Japanese flair to it. You can get Beni Emo ice cream which is purple sweet potato.
On the elevator down to the car for Alison's first day of daycare!
Here is Alison's daycare. It is wonderful and cozy and Alison really seems to enjoy it.
Day 2, we had to wear our Belle dress AND out bumble bee backpack
Daddy came with mommy to pick Alison up. She was at the playground so we were able to walk back to the school with the kids.
Every afternoon at school they change clothes regardless of if they need to and the teacher fixes their hair and they brush their teeth
Ethan hanging out with his buddy Payton
Must have played hard :)
At the finish of Alison's first week of daycare, mommy stopped at a Japanese Bakery that makes French baked goods. It was really good. Alison picked out her special treat herself! Chocolate!
The bakery all decorated for Valentines Day. In Japan, women buy gifts for the men.
It happened because of an advertisement about Valentines Day that was misinterpreted! Neat how one little mistake can change the way a culture celebrates a holiday!
Ethan slept through our trip to the bakery.
LOL
One thing I love about living here are the "typos".
This "Apart Ment" is near Alison's school.
Typical Okinawa
Alison ready for church....yes I made her wear sock with sandals, I didn't think it looked that bad at the time!!
Ethan gets to wear footie pajamas to church
Going to the sunflower fields with some friends!
silly baby!
Sometime local Japanese food taste really weird. I have no idea what Alison is eating but it's some sort of jellied dessert thing and an Okinawa doughnut (right hand), which is really good.
the end
How wonderful to be able to peek into everyday events when we're so far apart. Alison and Ethan look like they're doing so good. I love to see the cultural differences in everyday life where you're living. Keep it up!
