Halfway thru January

ブログ書いてなかったけど、ジョシュは通常通り仕事に戻り、皆でYMCAに通い始めました（さくらのプール）。友人が夕飯食べにきたり貴子の３５歳の誕生日があったり、毎日楽しく過ごしてます。
さくらも日々成長しており成長の早さに驚くばかり。デービスとクロも元気です。

2011 has been eventful so far..

Josh started going back to work, we finally received enough snow to play in, started going to the YMCA for family swimming, had some friends over for dinner, and we just celebrated Takako's 35th birthday (25th w/10 years experience), relaxing at home with the family... It is so great to be back home, with the family falling into the 'normal' life.

Sakura is growing up to be a proper little girl. It is amazing how fast she is growing up. Day-bis & Kuro have been great big brothers for her. Takako is enjoying being a mom... Life is great!

New Years Day

あけましておめでとうございます。毎年恒例の初日の出を見に行ってきました。今年もよろしくお願いいたします。

We started out the day by waking up to the alarm at 6:10am. We needed to get everything/everyone ready to get in the car, en-route for the base lake. Our family tradition that started back on 1 January 2007 at Yokota AB. We need to take a family photo with the new year's sun at sunrise. We believe the temperature was in the single digits this morning when we took our photo. Our day was wonderful! Hope that everyone out there has a great 2011!
