Scotty's Believe it or Not...

This is a two way street - there just isn't room for two cars on it at the same time!

No they didn't hit us we were just about 3 inches apart though.

We love driving in Japan. It's always an adventure!

Silly boys

Ethan

Fashionista? Or just doesn't know which end is up?

Ethan dressed himself...

Yes his bottoms are on his top and his top is on his bottom!

boys...

boy (boi) n. 1. noise with dirt (and or sweat) on it.

We played at the soccer field for about one hour...and here's the result:

It's true, they're just as cute dirty as they are clean!

Got Bubbles?

At least this is good clean fun!

First day of school, first day of school...

Yeah for Kindergarten!

He was so excited to go to school there was hardly a backward glance. No tears just smiles all the way. I can hardly believe he is old enough to go to school. He has loved every minute of school and comes home every day with something new to tell me about. The first day of class they read stories about the gingerbread man and played with puppets and made ginger bread cookies - mixed the dough, shaped the men, baked, and decorated their own cookies to bring home and show us. What an awesome first day of school! No wonder he loves it!

Jared with Mrs. Rose, his new kindergarten teacher. When we went to the Kindergarten orientation back in May he took one look at all the teachers and pointed out Mrs. Rose and said, "I want that teacher. The one in the pink sweater. She looks nice."

Lucky us! She is exactly the teacher we got!

Anniversary

Scott,
Seven years...seven years of change and growth both for ourselves and our family...seven years, six moves, five cars, four dining tables, 3 boys (almost) and 3 schools, 2 rings, and one country later I love you more than ever! Loving you has made me a better person. Thank you for your patience while I learn, for making me laugh, holding me when I cry, singing the boys to sleep, mopping the floors, picking up icecream late at night from the gas station just because I say I want some, and taking care of all of us. Thank you for loving me just as I am while gently encouraging me to become who I should be. I love you. Thanks for these last seven years - the good memories, the hard ones, and all the ones in between. Thanks for being my best friend, for being there even when we were thousands of miles apart. Happy Anniversary. All my love, Heather
