Okuma in January was beautiful and just what we needed to recoup after the holiday travels.
Always fun to have an excuse to enjoy a giant chocolate chip cookies, "Happy Valentines Day"
Tomoyuki warming on a rock just like a little, or should I say, BIG lizzard
W will try to dig up a picture from when Bethany and Juda were not even walking, trying to balance themselves on this same little bridge at Okuma years ago.
Meet "Brodie", our new family member. We weren't planning on a new family member, seems we hear our selves saying that alot of late, however, he needed a home and he has fit in nicely. He doesn't realize he is a dog, so when we leave him home along, and don't take him with us, which he loves to ride in the van, instead he stays in his nice little house, which looks like a jail, he likes to chew up whatever is left with him. So a baby blanket and a nice little doggy bed is of no more, well if you want to sew them back together they could be once again, but he likes to show is dislike of being left alone by chewing. No he is not a puppy, he is 4 years old. As hoped for he loves to sleep with whomever. He starts out the evening with Bethany, then takes turns between Ben and Caleb, sometimes ending up in bed with Tom and I. He is a sweet little guy, we are enjoying him alot. And one of the guidelines I made sure of was that our next pet would be small enough to fit under the airplane seat not in the belly of the plane, and he made is way to Okinawa just that way, so there you have it.
Bethany and Juda enjoying a game of bowling, notice the bright pink ball about to take out a few pins on the right hand side.
Tomoyuki thinking he is going to take a bite of "Salad".
Okuma is really spelt, RELAX. We love going there to get caught up on REST. I will keep trying to catch up on the past few months in pictures and activities that we have enjoyed. All the Smith's for now are well and enjoying life.
