Enjoying the summer!!

Hana and her mouth organ!!

Now then!! We have been enjoying our time off, and getting Maki settled in. A package arrived the other day from my younger sister Emily with some Peppa Pig instruments inside. Hana took a liking to the mouth organ, and thinks she is the next Bob Dylan strolling round the house playing it as loud as she can!!

Hana and Amber

Hana and her friend Amber went to the pool together, then came back for some chips on the sofa. Never under estimate the power of chips!! Guaranteed to keep kids quiet for a while!!

Maki with her toys

Maki takes after her Mum when it comes to sleeping!! She could sleep for England (or Japan with her dual nationality!!)

Maki sleeping again

She is such a good baby, she just sleeps and drinks!!

Maki yawning

And sometimes yawns!!

Maki having a drink

She is getting bigger all the time. When she cam home she was tiny, but seems to be growing by the day!!

First day of pre school

Hana’s first day of pre school!! We realised that without any child care or baby sitters, when we reopen the school we are going to have our hands full. So, I went off to the city office and found a pre school near our house and got Hana enrolled. She was so excited about going that Mami couldn’t get a decent photo of her before she went. I was telling Hana to only speak Japanese at school, and that when she got there to say “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu” to the teacher. It’s a greeting that people use here and Hana needs to be able to say it. But when she arrived there she got in the classroom and shouted it out to all the kids there, then went off to make some new friends!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by our homepage,

kind regards,
