As we have less than 8 months left in Japan I have an overwhelming need to blog more of our daily happenings.
Our Saturdays consist of trying to find a way to get out of the house and usually we end up at a park. This is Statue of Liberty Park, a very beautiful park in the fall. But we may have waited a little late to get the full effect of the autumn leaves. It’s ok though we ran into some good friends and made some new ones.
Cathy sent some new jammies for Gracie and now we have a matching set! All we need now is a pair for Brett.
Marie has really got knack for making Gracie smile. I really think Marie was hand picked to be the oldest child. She’s always trying to entertain her sisters. After school the other day Marie read Grace baby books for at least a half hour and spent another hour just playing with her.
Mina has started tumbling! Its a simple 30 minute class where they learn to climb, walk on a balance beam, hang and swing, and well, tumble.
Brett is still playing sports like he’s 16. After working out 3-4 mornings a week he goes every Saturday morning to play ultimate frisbee. I want to note that record for his grandkids so they know exactly why he will live to 110. That is unless, he gets too many beatings like the one below.
This is the view of my daily workout. Mina has always got to sit on the bike handles.
But this is my world pretty accurately. Baby… and IPad. In fact I asked
Brett the other day to complete the sentence, “Rachel’s hobby is ___.” He said '”Pinterest” However sadly accurate that is I don’t want that to be my only hobby. He also said “Being a good mom.” Which, is flattering, but I am really looking to get a real hobby. Cooking and working out don’t count. If they do I might as well count breathing air or making my bed. So we are thinking of getting DSLR camera and I could officially adopt photography as a hobby. We will see if that happens. Hopefully this blog will be the beneficiary of my search for a true hobby.
