Time flies!

To our dedicated fan base!
I have a mountain of Japanese homework, so I figured now was as good time as any to update our blog.

Life has been crazy! Doug went to Colorado for Will and Jen's wedding from June 22 to July 1. While he was there, Naomi and I stayed in Kobe. Naomi went to day care most of the time, and I took care of her in the evenings and on the weekends. Friends of ours also took care of her on Tuesday and Thursday (Thanks Saki and Trish!). All told, it was a difficult time for us all, and we are happy to be together again.

In other news, Naomi continues to get bigger and stronger. She can almost hold her bottle, and she is really close to crawling. The semester is just about over for me, and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Naomi and Doug.

Weather-wise, it is HOT! Doug and Naomi were nearly baked alive today on their way to the Ward Office to get one of a series of immunizations for Naomi. It was so hot that Naomi's body temperature was too high when they arrived, and they had to wait 40 minutes before she could get her shot. It was a nasty one too (the scars look like someone pressed two thimbles on her skin) Doug said she was a trooper though. She's a tough one our little Naomi. Anyway, to beat the heat, we stay in doors where there is air-conditioning if we can help it.

Well, that's our news and we will try to post messages more often, but don't hold your breath. Until next time. Stay cool!
