House painting

Since being back from Japan and a vacation at the beach, we have been busy with small jobs around the house. Yukari is the most productive, taking on cleaning and painting the front porch.

What a beautiful August this has been!

A garden for Luke and Ian

At the front of our new house, Yukari created a garden for Luke and Ian.

Virginia Beach - August 2013

We have no lack of posts from visits to see family in Virginia Beach, and we enjoyed a couple of visits in July and August this year, after returning home from Japan.

It was wonderful to spend time with Liz, John, and the kids at the beach!

Both Luke and Ian started to enjoy the ocean, and we couldn't get them off the boogie boards. Not long before they will be surfing :)

It is always sad to say goodbye to family, and the boys miss their cousins.
