Yet another picture of Mt. Fuji! It is still covered with snow and when the sun was setting, it looked so beautiful! Well, that's it for now. Aaron will be posting some of his pictures soon. He went snowboarding in Nagano 2 weeks ago.


A picture says a thousand words!! Can you guess what we are all thinking?? That kid is CRAZY!!!


Aaron and Hikaru-san.


Last weekend we went to some friend's house to make gyooza. We had a very fun time and the food was so good!


Conner is all about his dad-o now! They have a lot of fun together!


Yum!! This is a picture of the okonomiyaki that Aaron made! It's a thin pancake with yakisoba (fried noodles) inside and an egg on top. It is very good!!!


Hey there! It's been a long time, huh?! We have just been enjoying "normal" life in Japan lately, so there isn't much for me to blog about! We do have some pictures, so I thought I'd post them. I'll try to give you all an update on us! We have 6 weeks left here in Hamamatsu and then it's back to Ohio for us! We are excited to get home, but we are really going to miss Japan too. It's a really strange feeling, especially for me. (Shelly) When we first got here, I was literally crossing each day off the calendar--counting down the days. Almost a year later, this really feels like home. We have had an amazing time here and we've made some great friends, too! Anyways, today the movers came! They just came over and looked at our stuff, just to get an idea of how much stuff we have. Our first ocean shipment will go out in about a week and a half. We have boxes here and it really feels like we are actually going to come home! Aaron's work is going great. He's very busy now and he is really enjoying it. Conner is 2 1/2 now! He's absolutely crazy, but so much fun. We never get bored!! He's talking in both English and some Japanese. He can count to 10 in Japanese and often picks up words here and there during our Japanese lessons. I'm doing just fine....I just try to keep the house running and hot food on the table! Well, we hope that everyone at home is doing good and it won't be too long before we get to see you again!!! Have a great day!
