Hello there friends.

Today is our third day here in Japan.  It has been nice to see our relatives (we haven't met with friends quite yet.)

It seems that we're finally getting over the 14 hour time difference.  We went to bed at around ten PM, and we were sleeping during the night, but the three of us all woke up at 4:20.  (Almost a full night's sleep...)

Baby Kenny seemed to have the most difficult time acclimating himself to the time difference.  He was sleepy and really cranky for the past two days.  Today fortunately he is back to his regular, happy self.  (He is playing on the floor alongside his cousin right now.)

Here we are on our way to a convenience store.  We went there by bicycle.  We don't have a car that we can use here regularly, so we have to improvise.

Tomorrow we will go to Nagoya to see sumo.  It will be the first time for me to see sumo live in about five years.  I am really excited.  We have really good seats!  I can see all of my favorites up close!
