Extremes

After a beautiful snow, we headed to Guam for a few days with Akihiro's mom.  It was wonderful to be warm again and do some shopping.  Most people hit up the brand stores, but for me it was the grocery store, Motherhood Maternity, and Kmart!  The grocery store is the most tempting.  I fell for some pop tarts and have already devoured them!  I can't even let myself go down the cereal aisle!  Anyway, here are some pics of recent days/weeks.

 This picture is taken looking from a bridge near our home toward Takao-san mountain.  It was gorgeous!

 We enjoyed getting together with Gen and Eri and Ai and Utaro for sushi!  If you haven't noticed, Tomoki has gotten the hang of "peace" like all the other Japanese!

 We had visitors from the U.S. for a weekend.  This is the only pic I got.  It is Sis. Reiko teaching Derek how to make green tea from powder.  We enjoyed our visitors very much!

 On to Guam...Tomoki liked the beach, but wasn't as sure about the ocean!  The adults, though, had fun doing lots of snorkeling!

 We met up with some friends of ours for Mexican!  It has been a long time since we have been out for Mexican!  For some reason, Japan doesn't have hardly any Mexican food!
