School

So, today was my first "real" day of school. And, I just had a TON of homework (some that I'm supposed to be doing right now). Last year the average per day was a bout 20- 30 min. Today it took me an hour and a half. Guess I wont be having a free afternoon any more with all the homework and my busy schedule.
Just to add to all of that, I'm getting braces on Thursday.

Here are the first day of school pictures. ( I dont have one because I have to get up so early and there was no time to take one).

Corn

So, I haven't posted in a while and I thought I would put these pictures up and change things up on the blog.






This is Celeste and her first attepmt at corn ON the cob. She is VERY scruffy.

Japan part III -- Rebekah's Utopia

We saw hundreds of kimono-clad women and girls -- not only in front of the Kabuki theater (which was awesome)

A crossroads in Shinjuku -- one of six neighborhoods that eclipse Times Square for lights, people, and energy

Part of our view from the Hilton's 23rd floor -- the 5 am earthquake was pretty dramatic that high up!

The view from a hillside buddhist monastery's spartan cafe in the seaside hamlet of Kamakura

"I want to move to Tokyo! 32 million people have never been so clean, polite, orderly, and warm."


So we loved our trip and have hundreds more pics and stories! We'll bore you with them when we see you next.
