What a great day. We rode our bikes in to Zushi to pick up bentos (lunch) and headed to the beach for some fun in the sun. The water was still too cold for me but it didn't seem to bother the boys.





Jeff hanging out at the "campsite".




I think the best thing about our days at the beach is our stop at "Moo Moos" for homemade organic ice cream on our way home. Poor Ethan...he just couldn't hang in there. He was asleep within 10 seconds of Jeff strapping him in.







As I was uploading the photos earlier he was on my lap. He saw the pictures of his daddy and Andrew eating ice cream and his face got serious and he said "hey...where's mine?" Two and a half and he doesn't miss a trick. :)

My baseball boy!

Andrew really loves playing ball. Unfortunately the last two games were rained out. We will have a baseball marathon this weekend to make up the games.

HOME

I'm back home after two weeks in Virginia Beach with my dad. He was a great patient and is doing great.

I came home to this...







Jeff took Ethan to get "shaved". I think he looks so cute. I called him "buzz" and he got really bent. "no! buzz mommy, no! buzz". He really likes his hair but don't call him "buzz". Jeff really took the opportunity to work on the potty training. This is the first photo of his "big boy" Thomas pants. We are NO WHERE near going diaperless for good but the goal is before we leave Japan. He has had great success with both "little and big jobs". Yeah!!!!
