My bad...Apologies to Daniel & John

After reading the comments for the most recent post, I realize I failed to give credit where credit is due. Daniel (and partly John) are to thank for giving me the great idea of taking Yuko to see Maroon 5. Thank you guys for saving me and providing a chance to take Yuko to our first concert together (where she can see how much of a chump Adam Levine really is). I hope that my coach (DAniel) will continue to provide me with lots of good advice and guidance.
Sorry for not acknowledging it beforehand. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

November fun

It has been about a month since the last post, and the monthly reminder from Rick in Canada has arrived. Yes DAd, we will try to get the posts up on a more regular basis:)
Things are going great in Japan. Yuko and I celebrated our respective birthdays and although a year older, we are both still young and full of energy. For Yuko's birthday there was a little treasure hunt for her plethora of presents, the big one being tickets to see MAroon 5 next year in Tokyo (she dreams about Adam Levine, the lead singer, so I thought it would be nice to let her see how he pales in comparison to myself...hence we are going to the concert to see him in the flesh).

Yuko suprised me for my birthday by inviting her parents, brother and sister-in-law(Kaori) for a wonderful dinner at our aparment. It is a treat to have the Takahashi's over for dinner. We have only had her parents join us for dinner once before, and her brother and Kaori joined us for the first time. It was a great night.




Anna is doing great. She is 9.9kg (22 pounds) and is 74cm long. Another 85cm and she will be the same height as her mother. Isn't that crazy?? I love my girls. Her first two teeth are coming in slowly. The two middle teeth on the bottom row.
She caught her first cold courtesy of me, and I felt quite bad as she was not very happy and developed a bad runny nose. SEeing her blow little snot bubbles when she got excited was hilarious, but a little bit disgusting! Might get video of that up at one point in time, but for now, we'll just show you a bunch of pictures from the past month or so.


(Do you like Anna's Liverpool hat?? SHe loves it!)
