Snow!

On Sunday morning, we woke up to our second snow storm in two weeks (after Chris had assured me that it almost NEVER snows in this part of Japan). It was very pretty at first, but the snow slid off the trees once it warmed up. Then it just got slushy. Adam and Jesse didn't seem to mind though. The next day, we found our old neighbor's very Japanese snowbear. Cute. Also, it's snowing AGAIN as I type on Wednesday. I'm counting FIVE snowfalls so far this year, Chris. Maybe we brought the snow from Kansas?

ABC Song

Adam is learning his ABCs. Sometimes, he just gets distracted midway through.

Baby Kerri

We were invited to Baby Kerri's (Jesse's little sister) baptism on Sunday. Here she is with the chaplain.

Here is Baby Kerri sleeping through dinner.

The boys had a great time after dinner. Here they are playing IN the train table.

Another Moving Day

This weekend, Calum got a new house too. The boys got to spend the morning at our house, out of the way of moving furniture and heavy boxes. Here they are enjoying Veggie Tales and lounging on the couch with lots of blankets.

Toys

Adam figured it would be fun to cover himself with his toys.

Snow!

Look at those huge flakes!

Adam and Calum pose with the snowman that Calum built before we got there. Adam did help throw snowballs at the snowman, then they both helped destroy it. This was the first snow that has stuck here in over five years, and most of it was gone by the next day. Not quite like Kansas.

Fun in Japan

Us with Chris's parents. We enjoyed a night of karaoke after a full day of moving. Adam enjoyed playing with Calum!

Moving

Since the Army allows us another bedroom for another child, we have been on the housing list for a 3 bedroom. We finally(!) got an offer for a 4 bedroom place down the road. We got the keys on Monday afternoon, and have been gradually moving our stuff. The furniture will not get moved until Friday, with some recruited help. Then we have to clean the old place for the dreaded inspection. The only drawback is that I am now too big of belly to carry boxes - and am not supposed to be carrying more than ten pounds anyway.

Anyway, the upside is bedrooms for both babies as well as a guest room. Hint, hint.

Playtime

Adam and Calum had a fun playdate. First, they brushed their own and each other's hair. Then they played with Adam's new circus train. Jesse was home, enjoying his new baby sister, Kerri. Adam and Calum eagerly await their own baby siblings, or so we hope.
