Maia studied hard this year.  We are so proud of her accomplishments.

Summer in Ohio

 

We took care of two dogs for our friends.  The dog's name is Bella.  Maia was very happy.

This dog's name is Foxy.  Tai loves him and took very good care of him.

Having dogs makes the kids so happy, but mommy is tired!

A trip to the zoo with Maia's good friend.  The kids had a good time.

Emi loves delicious snacks.

Tai with his good friend.  They are relaxing before playing together.

Otosan,

Yoshi translated the letter for me.  We are so sorry that you are sick.  

We love you.

So sorry

Hello.  I am sorry obachan and ojichan that we have not contacted you.  This last semester I was working and finishing my school, and it was very hard.  Yoshi has also been very busy.  We are okay and will call you soon!

Also, sorry no pictures in this blog.  I have not downloaded them to my computer yet.  I will share some soon!

Maia, Tai, and Emi miss you very much, too.

Birthday celebrations etc.

Hello! We are alive and doing pretty well although the weather is COLD outside. Emi is now 2 and Tai is 6! Also, Tai had a celebration at school where he had to dress like a man who is 100 years old. The results were pretty funny!
