Yeah for Grandmas!

Grandma is taking great care of us. We are being so spoiled with fruit, organic food, and fun adventures. We've been busy shopping too, so now Edamame has a new car seat, new pink sandals(he got jealous of his cousins with pink shoes...favorite color is pink, not much you can do), a whole bunch of pj's and church clothes, and nemo fork and spoon.

I have yet to load my pics onto grandma's computer, but grandma has been taking lots of pictures. We've had lots of fun with our cousins. In fact check out Pam's blog for some aquarium pictures. As soon as I can get some pictures off of Grandpa J's phone I'll post some pictures of Edamame eating his FIRST hamburger. What was kinda funny is that after he ate the burger, we went up to the guy who gave out the bags and said thank you. Now, let me back up and say this was a larger African American fellow, and as we were leaving Edamame started calling him an 'Oni'(ogre). Mind you a Japanese ogre does not look quite as friendly as Shrek. It was mildly embarassing, but ohh boy am I thankful that he said it in Japanese, not English.

Ok, well onto the pics...oh and he's been sleeping well for three, going on four nights, way better than last time, but still I was getting way frustrated by the last night of being up to 1am. Woo hoo!

We went to the fish hatchery on Saturday...it was way neat




and after we went to feed some fish, Edamame wanted to catch some fish, but they wouldn't allow a catch and release, and we had no cooler to take a fish back...poor guy, kept asking to catch fish.


We got to play a lot in the water to clean up after eating a post-aquarium smoothie at grandma's



oh and picking some of grandma's watermelons.


Plus grandma has some fun toys.


We still miss daddy a lot. I'm so greatful for skype, and can't wait until next Wednesday! Edamame is so cute and gets so excited when he sees him on the computer(I do too). Plus he got to speak to Obaachan today. I was just so happy to see him switch back to his Japanese so quickly and easily, phew! I know it's only been a week, and we have been having a lot of Japanese conversations, but still it is fun and a bit of a relief.
