bath time...

ｔhey dress themselves.....

sweet love....

Constantly amazed that they are mine......surely I am blessed!

I am extremely blessed to have the family that I have and to have married into the family that I did. My sister-in-law and sister traveled the length of the earth to be here for me when I needed it most. All that went into getting them both here....my other sister-in-law, Hollye, organizing Libbys trip and all that my brother-in-law did to make it possible for Christi and Evan to come humbles me.

Noa's doctor visit went well. She is now 9lbs (4.1kg)! All her tests have come back with good results. Our ever so cautious doctor said to treat her as a normal baby and that it would be no problem for us to travel to the US in June for my brother's wedding! She is more alert every day watching all the activity around the house....the last couple of days she seemed extra fussy so I've stopped drinking coffee and it seems to have done the trick....Oh but I am missing my cuppa joe in the mornings!!!!

saying goodbye...to our cool awesome cousin and aunt

Kyoto

The church where we attend graciously offered to take our crew to the old town of Kyoto....so while I stayed home with Lili and Noa the older ones went on an adventure. From the pictures Christi took I am looking forward to visiting there myself soon!

These are the sweet sweet nurses who tended me while I was delivering Noa. Assami and Utako came for dinner one night when Christi and Evan were here. Loved being with them!

Lili LOVES LOVES LOVES her baby sister....maybe a bit much.
