Dancing at the Gap

Adam had a great time in the Gap at Ebina. While Mommy shopped, Adam danced.

Backyard

Here's our little patch of garden in our backyard. We are getting some tomatoes, green peppers, eggplant, and one cucumber. I also have some lettuce and cilantro in the planter. Hopefully all the rain lately will help our garden grow.

The new-to-us patio set we acquired from a neighbor moving to Korea. Thanks, Jenny! (This is the same neighbor who gave us a tummy time mat, a baby swing, and three sets of curtains. So generous!)

Lottie hung out in her Bjorn while Mommy and Adam ran around the backyard.

Only in Japan

Specially sized tables and chairs (for kids, definitely not for Chris) at the food court.

Crazy (but beautiful) orange flowers.

Cute $4 rainboots. I love the 100 yen (about a dollar) store!

Tickling

Lottie likes to be tickled - check out her smile!

Boppy

Lottie can sometimes hold herself up pretty well.

Lottie and Nani stick out their tongues at each other. Nani is much more fond of Lottie than Adam right now. He torments her, and Lottie, right now anyway, just sits there.

Fun at the Playground

Lottie hung out in her chair.

We hung out at a playground near our house. We've nicknamed it the "Bicycle Park" due to the two abandoned tricycles that reside there. Adam just loves riding them. The toddler translation of the video, "Crash! Crash! Fall down...yucky."

Ice Cream Flavors

Just like in the States...banana, peanut, sweet potato, pineapple, and cantaloupe. Yum.

Strengthening my neck.

Posing with Adam.

Sometimes I just have to cry.

Brownie Spoon Stealer

Adam helped himself to the spoon from the brownie bowl. It was yummy, but confiscated quickly. Mommy is so mean.

Yard Work

After two days of rain, Sunday was beautiful! So everyone went outside to help with the yard work.

Adam was especially helpful with the broom.

Here he is sweeping the lawn. Yes, it looks so much better!
