November 15--Kenji's Birthday!!!

Let's just say that my good excuse for being late to post this was our move into Chiba.

We had it in downtown Namba, Osaka--as city as it gets. We went to a Thai All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant. My parents showed up, and my brothers and sisters and their girlfriends and friends--it amounted to nearly 20 people

Kenji wanted Daiki to have a go at throwing the Shurikens

John and Love and some of their kids came too.

Mommy made a Tank Pinata for Kenji--order-made, and we invited our neighbors to join us out on the streets to tear it up

That's the awesome cake mommy made

And you would wonder why my mom is on the phone

Btw, I did the decorations

December Update

  Fay, the kids, and Grandma Sunshine left for Chiba on Sunday night, November 28th, while I stayed on in Osaka for a few more days. I finished up work, completed packing, and attempted a proper parting with our close friends. On the night of the 2nd of the next month I found myself on an over-night bus--whisked away. By that time my terrible cold had subsided, and I was able to travel in ease.
  We immediately went to see a few houses, almost settled for a few, but reached an agreement on a particular one that I had basically thrown out of our options because I didn't think it was homey enough. This was on the 9th, a week later.
  Now, the paperwork is done, and we have the key to our new home. We'll be moving in on the 17th. So, heads up for photo's on our blog soon, of our new house. It's a big burden off our backs for sure, 'cause it's been 2 weeks since we got here, and we hadnt a home until now.
  ...The next hurdle is a job.

Halloween !!!

A Friend invited us to a Halloween party for half kids,( that find it difficult to fit in japan.) its was super fun the kids had a BLAST, They got so much candy. I keeped telling the People to not give them sweets, 1st they didn't, but after a while it was to hard to keep saying no. anyways, they got so much candy, cookies and osenbes. a whole bag full. enought to keep for shinner snack for quite awhile.


Didnt know it was a Halloween party, so hadnt brough anything for them to dress up in, I was so Embarassed. Yushi didnt tell me it was a Hallowwen party . ( But brough balloons so maded them dress up like this.) I hope its looks ok. o well did the best i could, but they didnt keep it on for very long.
