Ice Cream Cones
First day of school
Hana's first day of school (and all week) was a success! There were no tears! Really we didn't have time for any! They took her fast from me and called me out of the classroom quickly! They are pros:) She did not cry at all during the week. She said she has fun singing songs (Japanese) and she is already trying out her new Japanese words/phrases and bowing! She also likes both of her teachers, so that helps!!!!

Happy Birthday Papi!
Play Group
Every Thursday there is a church play group that I've been taking Hana and Gabriel to. It's a bunch of songs and play and they just love it! Of course most of it is in Japanese, but they don't seem to mind! Here they are waiting for their snack!
After the play group we went to a school to play. Even though there's a language barrier Hana and Gabriel always manage to make friends!
Happy 3rd Birthday Hana!!!
Happy 3rd Birthday to Hana! She was tired, but she managed to eat some birthday cake. Later that night we had to rush her to the emergency room because she was having trouble breathing. Somehow, she ended up with the Croup! However, she recovered wonderfully and has no problems since!
Jet Lag...
Well we made it and as you can see the children had some serious jet lag happening! They would fall asleep everywhere. Gabriel would fall asleep eating:) It took them several weeks to get adjusted to the new time. Of course during that time we were also dealing with major illnesses so that didn't help!
In flight
This is Hana and Gabriel on the American flight. Oh my gosh....that was so hard getting both carseats and luggage on the plane. Not one flight attendant offered to help!!!!!
This photo was on the Japan Airlines Flight! This was a wonderful flight. Of course we sat business class so that always helps! When we arrived at Chicago, there was a JAL flight staff waiting for us to help. Unfortunately, she did not have anything for me to transport all my "stuff" to the other side of the airport. However, the Lord was watching over us because a passenger from the American flight literally carried both carseats and luggage and walked us over to the International section of O'Hare! That gentleman was a true blessing!
