Hello there! Tonight I decided to make a nice dinner for Kazuko and her mom. I made hamburgers with a green salad, and butter-fried corn. They turned out to be really yummy!
Hello there! I have had a nice relaxing evening. I had a chance to take some pictures of Kenny, Mommy, and myself. Here is what our little friend looks like at the age of seventeen-days: The first picture is one of Kenny with wide-open eyes as he lays on the changing table. (Thanks for the table Isabel!)
Hello there. Happy after-Thanksgiving to all of you! We all went home pretty stuffed last night. It was hard to think about food until this morning came. Right after we woke up today, we brought Kenny to the doctor. He and his mother were due for their two-week check-up. Mom and baby are doing very well! It is nice to hear good news. After the appointment, we went back home to pick up grandma (Kazuko's mom,) and we had lunch at Perkins, and then we went shopping at Cub Foods. At P...
Hi all! Kazuko, Kenny, and I, my mother-in-law, and my parents just got home from grandma and grandpa's house for Thanksgiving dinner. We all came home very full! My plate was full of yummy food. We had: turkey, squash, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, wild rice, pickles, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. It was all very yummy. The pickles that we ate at the dinner were very good. My grandmother had pickled them herself. I think that I will go to the supermarket to buy some jars, cucumb...
Hey there. I am in the middle of a long day here at the school. I have conferences all day. I am writing during the first lunch break. I can hardly wait for the day to be over because I will have a five-day Thanksgiving vacation. On Thanksgiving, we will be going to my grandmother's house. That will be Kenny's first trip out of the house. It should be exciting! Now my biggest problem for the rest of the day is: am I hungry enough to go to get lunch now, or should I wait for the din...
Hello there! I just got home from taking my father-in-law to the airport. It was so nice that he was able to come to see the baby. I was sad to see him go. He is a really interesting guy. I suppose that we'll meet again when we go to Japan next summer. Driving to and from the airport was really slow and dangerous today. Going there wasn't so bad actually, but the traffic got really bad on the return trip. About five miles from my house the roads got really slippery and i...
Hello there my friends! I hope that all of you are having a happy weekend. I just finished watching the day's sumo matches. Tomorrow's match between Tochiazuma and Asashoryuu will be awfully interesting. I am predicting here that Tochiazuma will win (even though I am a Asashoryuu fan.) Anyway, this is what I looked like watching sumo tonight. It was fun! Today I had an interesting day with my mother-in-law and my father-in-law. The first thing that we did was to drive to Sam's...
Last night I went to play a golf simulation game with my friend Andy and my father in-law. It was fun. We "played" nine holes on a course in Banff, and nine holes on a course in Hawaii. Of course the simulation isn't as good as real golf, but it is as good as one can get in November in Minnesota. Surprisingly I tend to get the same score playing simulated golf as I do playing real golf, so I suppose that the simulation has some sort of validity. Today is Thursday. After work I will go...
