My niece and nephew!

Here is Connor right after he was born on 12/13/2005

Here is his sister, Brooke, born 1/21/2010

They look so similar! Although Glenn would say, they're babies- they all look the same...

She's Here!

Welcome to the world Brooke Aubrey Lawson!

She was born at 12:13 pm on January 21, 2010.

She's 6 lb 1 oz and 19.75 inches long.

She's a tiny one!

 

Congrats Adam, Laura and Connor!

I got to Skype with everyone from the hospital and she is just beautiful. Big brother, Connor, couldn't stop stroking her head and showing me all her fingers and toes. She has lots of dark brown hair like her mom and looks like Connor did when he was a baby. Same nose and chin. I can't wait til I can meet her one day!

If I had $315,000....

Ok, so it doesn't quite have the ring of a million dollars, but either way, if I had that money and I were moving to Nofolk, I would be buying this.

Our friends, the Klaibers, are selling their condo in downtown Norfolk. If you're moving there, take a look! It is in a great area! Or, better yet, if you have $315,000, you could give it to me and I will buy it! It's so pretty!

Tomorrow!

Continuing the baby series, my niece will be born via c-section on Thursday January 21st! That's noon Louisiana time and 3 am Friday my time. I can't wait to see her via Skype! It's going to be a little while til I get to meet her in person. Congrats Adam, Laura and big brother, Connor!

Congrats Jenny & BJ!

Another cousin, Jenny, and her family, BJ and Alyssa, welcomed a baby boy to their family!

Tim & Cheryl Visit Japan

Glenn's parents arrived yesterday and are here for about a week. If I don't post for awhile, now you know why! We're off to Nagano to go skiing for the weekend. Have a good one!

This is an old picture from our wedding, but the first one I could find with all 4 of us. Soon to change though!

Best 100 yen I've spent yet...

If I haven't written about 100 yen stores yet, I apologize. You are missing out. 100 yen stores are the greatest shopping deal in Japan. You can find just about anything and it is not always the cheapo junk that you find at US dollar stores. Most of the time, you don't know what you are looking for until you find it and then you are all, "this is exactly what I need right now! How did I not know this exists!"

Well, my last trip to the 100 yen store I actually knew what I was looking for. My friend had bought a particular thing and I was all, "that's exactly what I need! Where did you get it!"

Two stores later, I was the proud owner of this:

Which looks like a weird enough thing, but now it means I can finally rinse the corners of my giant sink! And rinse dishes with a "sprayer".

It's the small things in life, really. :)

Rollin' the dice!

Laura- this picture is for you! Yay for getting internet in your California house today!
