drive

It has been such a long time since we have posted anything. Life has been a little crazy, but we are adjusting well to being parents. I had been itching to get out of the house, so we decided to go somewhere on Thursday, just out. By the time we were ready to go it was already lunchtime, and Yukine was sleeping so peacefully so we decided to wait until she woke up so she could drink milk and then we would go for a drive. She slept for hours! It was 4pm when we left but it ended up being a beautiful drive and a beautiful sunset. It was such a nice time.

Home!

Kristina and Yukine came home today from the hospital. We are starting our new life!

I made a blog for Yukine.

Our baby is due on October 3rd, so we will be going to the hospital soon. If you are coming to TeDe, please call to make sure that we are here.

Fall is here!

There are signs of fall in the garden. This is a kind of chestnut. It is called kuri in Japanese. These trees grow naturally all around this area, when the nuts are ready the prickly outside opens up and the kuri nuts fall to the ground. We can hear them popping out of the trees throughout the day. It really makes me feel that fall is here.

Kagura

Last night we went to the shrine in our village to see the Kagura festival. Everyone gathers around the shrine to watch the dancers act out ancient stories through dance and music. There is no speaking or singing. The music is a steady rhythmic drumming and a flute. It is quite a special event. We are so lucky we can just walk down the street to see it.
