Daddy is Finally Home!

We are certainly happy to have Daddy home.  Here are a few pictures that we took before he arrived.

Bathtime is always interesting

Leyton's official 'First Day of Yochien' photo

We spent many evenings at the park.  It is too hot outside during the day, but after dinner it is comfortable outside, so we take advantage

So STRONG!  Ellis goes with me to the Atsugi Family Gym.  She watches me to pull-ups and toes-to-bar and she mimics me.  Yesterday a dad marveled at her strength.  She really can hold on a long time.

Not that you can see them in this picture, but Ellis still has her kooties.  And half of her right eye is red.  Poor kid.  I think she is rather allergic to Japan.  And Leyton is devoured with mosquito bites.  In the 10 steps she walks from the car to the house, they will eat her up.

If you are not quick enough, as soon as Ellis is done (whether she actually eats everything or not), she throws her plate and fork and sippie on the floor.  Stinker.  But she makes the funniest face when she does it that I have a lot of trouble getting mad.

Leyton has become my little helper.  She loves to do little tasks around the house -especially in the kitchen.  She often makes a bigger mess than she starts with, but occasionally she really is helpful.

The Japanese always do 'peace' in photos.  She was not prompted in this picture.  She is also now teaching us a few Japanese words.  Thanks for Leyton Sensee we now know 'yummy', 'Are you okay,' and 'Sit down.'
