Papa and Nana came in for a visit. As always, we had lots of fun, ate lots of good food, and drank lots of wine! This was the 2nd time for Kellan to see them, the first time he was only 2 weeks old. He has grown so much since then! I didn't get any good shots of Yukine this time, but I got lots of Hiroto and Kellan. The time always goes by so fast. Thanks for coming to see us Papa and Nana! </div>

This year we celebrated Halloween with Karl, Mariah, and Kellan! First, we carved pumpkins. Yukine was the pumpkin cleaner. She worked really hard this year. You can probably guess who's pumpkin is who's. Karl's is the biggest and wackiest. Tetsushi's is the spookiest. Yukine's is the cutest. I went with a bird theme this year, and Hiroto wanted a Cheetah pumpkin, to go with his Cheetah costume. Yukine was a beautiful peacock this year, and Kellan a dinosaur for his first Halloween. Karl and Mariah were the cool parents who dressed up, which is why they got to be in the picture. We had a great Halloween, it was so much fun celebrating together. Thanks Karl and Mariah for coming over! tedehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13344792287598343271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815715001139300289.post-33756634217631912652015-11-08T01:01:00.002-08:002015-11-08T23:07:43.871-08:00Pumpkin Patch!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went to the pumpkin patch the day before Halloween to pick our pumpkins. The kids had a great time, lots of running and jumping. It has been so hot it is hard to believe it is fall, but here we are at the pumpkin patch!</div>

Fun Sunday at Balboa Park with Akane-chan and Kazuya-kun. Yukine and Akane are good friends from preschool but don't see each much anymore since kindergarten had started. Luckily, Hiroto and Kazuya are in the same preschool class and are becoming close friends. We had such a nice time at the park! Let's do it again soon!</div>

Happy Birthday Yukine! It's hard to believe Yukine is six years old! We had a busy day, but it was great. Yukine had school and after that, her very good friend, Akane-chan came over. We prepared our usual birthday feast, this time the adults made croquette while the kids played. It was nice to spend this special day with good friends. Thanks for coming over and celebrating with us Momoko-san, Andrew, Akane-chan, and Kazuya-kun!TeDehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15676661734424720259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815715001139300289.post-92149466362214746252015-09-08T20:07:00.001-07:002015-09-08T20:07:17.230-07:00Yukine's first day of kindergarten!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WIUqFbyKcXs/Ve-iYpPwbnI/AAAAAAAACj4/KIviTf8u88Q/s640/blogger-image-975072976.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WIUqFbyKcXs/Ve-iYpPwbnI/AAAAAAAACj4/KIviTf8u88Q/s640/blogger-image-975072976.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yukine and her friend Jack.

It is hard to believe but Hiroto is already 3! We started the day with presents, he got a lot of good ones this year. Thank you to all of the grandparents for sending gifts! We checked out the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. It was interesting. We saw an IMAX movie there because it came with admission. I thought the kids would like it but it was their least favorite part. Seems like we have the most fun at home! We made our usual birthday dinner complete with the birthday cake. This year both Hiroto and Yukine helped making the croquette. Tetsushi made the croquettes, Hiroto did the flour, me the egg, and Yukine panko. We all stayed focused and worked hard until we were all done. I was impressed how efficiently we worked together. It was an awesome birthday celebration and delicious dinner. Happy Birthday Hiroto!</div>

We went to The Water Conservation Garden to see the butterfly pavilion. A very nice docent taught us so many things about butterflies. We were able to see the whole cycle of caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly with the monarch. It was such a beautiful and peaceful experience. The garden was very nice. Even though it was such a hot day, we had so much fun! I want to go back on a cool day to enjoy the garden more. The butterflies are only there in the summer.</div>

One day in East Bay! We met up with a couple of old friends we hadn't seen in a really long time. It was great catching up! I wish I had more pictures of the people we visited...sorry Liz and Dan and Dalia. The kids loved Liz's dog Remy, going to see the old shop in Alameda was so cool. Then we had dinner at Dan and Dalia's house. We got to meet there kids, catch up with Florian, and enjoy an excellent meal. Thanks everyone for a great day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We started home the next morning. It was a long drive, but made it home in one day. The kids did great. </div>

We made it to San Francisco! We stayed at Dan and Renee's house, as always, we had a great visit. We got to play in the tree pod, go see the flower conservatorium, and we had a gyoza and niku man party. We all had such a good time. Thanks Dan and Renee!</div>

We took a road trip up to San Francisco. We took our time and really enjoyed the drive up. First stop, San Louis Obispo. I wish we spent more time here, it was beautiful. Next stop, Monterey Bay Aquarium. We loved it. Hiroto was fascinated by the scuba diver we saw at closing time. </div>

That is Hiroto's new kick bike. He has been letting Yukine practice on it so she can learn balance. One of their favorite things to do is race up and down the driveway. They have both been getting lots of exercise! </div>

Yukine started kindergarten at Minato Gakuen, Japanese Saturday school, in April. The day after graduation from Apple Youchien, Yukine had the undokai or sports festival at Minato. This school goes all the way up to highschool, so this was a pretty big event. Yukine's grade got to participate in only 2 events. At the start of the day when the entire school was lined up on the field, Yukine had to hold the orange flag. She marked the center point on the field while everyone spread out for the stretching. </div>

We finally made it to the Waterfront Park in downtain last Friday. It was the perfect hot and sunny day for it. We met a few friends from school there and we really had a great time. Literally, once the kids' feet touched water, they just started running and didn't really stop for like an hour. I had a lot of fun just watching them. After the water, it was snack time and off to the playground. Another awesome playdate!</div>

We went back to Suzie's Farm for more strawberries, this time with a bunch of friends from Yukine's preschool. Yukine's good friend, Akane chan is in the pictures above. We all enjoyed delicious strawberries and had lots of fun playing together. </div>

Yukine started school today at Minato Gakuen, Japanese Saturday school. It was the first day of kindergarten for her! In the first picture she is standing with her friend Kouki-kun in front of the class list. Luckily, they are in the same class, as well as a few other friends from her preschool. We got to meet her teacher and see the classroom and there was a big welcoming ceremony for all of the new kids. It was a long morning, but Yukine did great. Congratulations Yukine! We are so proud of you.</div>
