Gettin' Busy

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we are in full 'move out' mode now. The curtains have been taken down, the closets, drawers, and cabinets are being purged of accumulated junk, and all our stuff is in the process of being organized to make packing, and consequently unpacking in Jacksonville, a little easier.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures that pretty much summarize what has been going on with us since the last update.


Saying goodbye to Josyl. The visit went all too quickly, but we're grateful that she made the trip to say goodbye before we leave this side of the world.


Grace enjoying the train ride on the way back home.


My little monkey is becoming a pro at pulling herself up now. She just started crawling a few short weeks ago! Can she slow it down a little, please? I am not ready for her to race through her milestones.


We tried out a little Zwieback toast and she loved it. I'm not crazy about the clean up, but I do get a kick out of watching her attack the toast.


Grace had a fun playdate with sweet Olivia today. Even though Grace is 3 months older, they're just about the same size!

We had to say goodbye to Cody the Cube tonight because tomorrow, he will be someone else's car. From taking us to weekend getaways, to lugging home our finds from the bazaar, to bringing home our baby from the hospital- he served us well during our stay here in Japan.
