The month of November (so far...)

We have been having a wonderful November.  It started out with Mommy's 22nd Birthday.  And it was the first time I had to cook my own Birthday Dinner (SHOCK)  And this is only because I am living in a foreign country, otherwise I know my  Mama would have been right on it!  But I didn't deviate from the plan, I slaved away on a roast with mashed potatoes and gravy (my fave) and Grandma's Neopoltian Cake (also my fave:)

OKAY back to Eden...

LOTS of time at the Park

And some more!

Playing with baby Yoshua (so cute)

And bundling up, because it is getting COLD!

And next week brings Thanksgiving!  We will have a houseful to celebrate the "American"  Holiday, and I am so happy I found a Turkey (very rare in Japan) and it actually fits in my tiny tiny oven and stuff to make Pumpkin Pie (also very rare).  

Grape Picking

In October we went to a vineyard with our wonderful friends, Hideki and Tsukasa, and ate as many grapes and we could fit into our bellies!

Thank you so much for taking us all the way to Yamanashi-ken for this wonderfully delicious experience.

Koen-- Japanese park

Eden loves the Park

And she loves the slide!

But her favorite thing about the park...

Is the sand/dirt!!!

She could play with it for hours, and completely ignore the slide.

Hats!

Eden absolutely loves hats! And hat is one of the few words that Eden uses on a daily basis. Probably used more than Mom and Dad. Eden doesn't use many words yet, but she communicates well using signs and other gestures to get the point across.

Busy-Bee

Eden is a busy little girl. She is always walking around the house, playing with her toys, or getting into something!!!



This a rare sight during the day... Eden SLEEPING! She has always been not so good at napping, but lately she thinks she is old enough to skip the naps altogether. The other day I was sitting next to Eden and the next thing I knew, she was asleep! Rarely, rarely, does this happen!!!

Bye-Bye

Eden loves to go Bye-bye. Often times I find her standing by the door waving, which means she wants to go out! 

"Can we go now!??"
