It seems that everyone is either blogging - or no one is. Anyway - time for a little catch up.
Life in Japan is great...had some snow this weekend, but it didn't stick for long. Just long enough for people to get uptight about having to drive to church in 1/2 inch of snow. C'mon, people...
Dave received proofs of the colored phone book ad that will be "published" this summer - made a few changes, but it really makes everything seem surreal seeing his name in the ad. Really cool, though.
Isaac went to Webelos tonight - he enjoys scouting and we hope he goes all the way. He made A/B Honor Roll again and is doing well in school. Still wants to be a Marine, still wants to shoot guns...but also knows his Articles of Faith and bears his testimony in church. It all evens out, right?
Taylor also loves school and reading. He is a Tiger Cub now and loves to have scout meetings like his older brother. Still the teacher's pet, I think. His best friends are the cutest girls in the class. Smart boy.
Parker is anxious to start school and would do so tomorrow if he could. Still eats all the time, but you'd never know it. Favorites are bananas, yogurt, string cheese and apples. Can't get enough of them. All three boys are getting ready for baseball season to start. Besides swim lessons, this will be the last sport they do here in Japan.
Morgan is the diva of the house. Walks around in her pink Dora the Explorer sunglasses...won't tolerate interruptions when she is talking...and makes everyone look at her painted toenails. She drags around a new stuffed animal victim everyday and subjects it to her two-way conversations: "Are you pretty?" "Yes - I am pretty.", etc.
Dave is still training for his marathon - running six days a week, sometimes a mile, sometimes much, much more. He is intent on the marathon this year. As for me, I wish him luck and continue to do my standard 2 or 3 miles...2 or 3 days a week. No marathon in my near future. No one has ever accused me of being an over-achiever!
Anyway - life is busy, but it is good. We look forward to hearing from all of you! Take care!
