Eating IceCream should be FUN!!!

Since Tomoyuki's tonsilectomy, we have been giving him ice cream to sooth his throat. Soooo I thought he'd like to try eating it from a little cone by himself. Well.......so much for what I thought. Or maybe it is just too cold for his finger. Who knows....because within a few seconds he was fine again.....


mmmmmm gooooooood...................
By the way....I am just about back to my old self since surgery and sleeping all night long, and breathing very well. Now for more hearing tests and to get ready for hearing aids.......

Happy Easter to you all, better late than never...... Hey look what came in this little Easter Basket.......
Tom celebrated his 46th Birthday. In Japan they use the big candles to represent a decade and the little ones for single years. They are so creative. So....see the 4 big ones and the 6 little ones glowing. This keeps from catching your cake on fire in your later years of life. Especially because they have such small B Day cakes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, they are delicisious.
It looks like Tomo is saying "WooHoo, that was some good BDay cake. Get in my belly!"
Only in the Smith Family do we reward children for blowing bubbles....out their nose!

Juda dressed as none the less...."The Cat in the Hat", at the Reading Parade at school.
Juda is so proud of his egg collection, found mostly in the bushes behind him.
Bethany dressed in her PJ's, for the "Sleep Book" by Dr. Seuss along with her teacher.
