Wow...Lots to catch up on!!
Just a funny starter...thanks to my brother, Eric, for catching this one.
(Notice what kind of glass bottle is really there.)
My brother Eric came to visit us in August. This was probably one of the best times of my life. We did tons of things....ate at lots of cool restaurants, went to the dolphin park, went to Renaissance Resort, Pineapple Factory Drive Thru, Chula U and got attacked by flesh eating baby piranhas, went to Okuma Resort, hiked Hiji Falls, went to the northernest most point of the island: Hedo Point, went parasailing, did put-putt, drank some expensive Australian wine, and best of all...just chilled with each other on the balcony enjoying Okinawa. I could have put a million pictures on here just to cover Eric's visit, but I only put a few.
Me in the sky parasailing...
The baby piranhas...
Kids at top of Hiji Falls
Eric stayed back in Okinawa to watch the kiddos while Tim and I went to Tokyo to climb Mt Fuji!! Tokyo was a blast. Fuji was hard but worth the work. That is a feat very few people can say the did. Here are some pics of our journey.
Tim and Amber on top of Tokyo Tower...taller than the Eiffel...
Me climbing up Fuji...you can see me in the very middle...wearing a gray shirt and black pants. Tough terrain...no picnic in the park.
Tim and I at station 7...

Noah turned 4!! Please check out the you tube video. The link is posted in a previous post.
Noah's 1st day of preschool at East West Montessori School
Tim's parents, Bob and Rosie, came out to visit us. That was a great time too! We had loads of fun at the Naha Tug of War, spent a few days at the Okuma Resort, I learned a thing or two in the kitchen, and the quality time spent out on the balcony are memories to last a lifetime.
Noah was so intrigued with this old man at Pizza in the Sky that could whistle with a blade of grass. (The old man was intrigued in Noah's American blonde hair, blue eyed beauty too) The moment I didn't catch on camera was when Tim showed Noah he could whistle with grass too. Wow...was Noah impressed!
