We spent 4 days in Utsunomiya (where Evan lived for 2 years when he was a boy) with friends. Here are some pictures from the trip:
With Michiyo (who let us stay with her)
At Sachiko's having a wonderful Lunch
Eden enjoying her ice (she loves ice!!)
Here is Eden walking, clapping, and also bowing like the Japanese do.
Also Eden said her first Japanese words yesterday!!! I was so shocked. All day I had been singing a cute childrens song to her in Japanese. And later that night I sang it again and she mimicked one line of the song perfectly!
Eden-chan Eden-chan, doko ni iru no?
(Eden Eden, where are you?)
Koko desu koko desu, koko ni imasu.
(Here Here, I'm right here!)
Anyway, she said "Koko desu" so clearly. And the funnest part was, we had some Japanese friends over for dinner, so they were just as shocked as I was!
Fun times, our little silly girl is growing and changing in leaps and bounds these days. It is exciting to see her learning everyday.
Also, I made these boots for Eden for this winter. They turned out better that I thought they would, so I was so excited. I got all the fabric from the thrift shop for only 100 yen each. That makes for some cheap winter boots.

Mandy!! I LOVE the picture of Eden with her huge smile...she is the cutest baby ever. I miss you soo much. Eden looks like so much fun! When are you coming back? I NEED to see you!!
Oh my goodness. She's so adorable. Mandy and Evan, you must be so proud (and amused.... and exhausted!). We always enjoy checking in on your blog and envy your wonderful international experience. What a gift you're giving Eden right now.
Hey, Mandy, check out my new blog. It's still in the beginning stages, but it's been a really positive creative outlet so far. Let me know what you think.
