Hello there.

I am at homewith Kazuko and Kenny. My mom and dad and Kazuko's mom and dad are also here. We're having a nice time. It is interesting that our parents are able to communicate somehow without speaking each-other's language.

On Saturday night, we had a little party at our house to welcome Kenny and Kazuko's parents. I cooked some ribeye steaks outside on the barbecue. Ribeye steaks are awfully good!

This afternoon we may go someplace nice for lunch with both parents. Maybe we'll go for sushi. The nicer restaurant in Minneapolis (Origami) isn't open until the evening, so maybe we'll go someplace less-fancy but still eat sushi.

I can't believe that tomorrow is already Monday. I don't want to go back to work already! I would like to have some more time to spend with Kazuko and the baby. Oh well... Thanksgiving vacation is coming soon! I can look forward to that!

That's all for today. Here are a few pictures that my mom and dad took while Kazuko and I were still in the hospital.

Congratulations! We're also having a baby in the next few weeks. You didn't have your baby at Abbott Northwestern, by any chance? That's where we'll be having ours.... If you did, can you tell me about the whole hospital experience?

We had the baby at Monticello/ Big Lake Hospital. That was a fantastic place! The rooms were big and nice,the staff was helpful, and the doctors were nice too.

Having the baby there was like taking a little vacation. I would recommend that place to anybody.
