Megan's School Field Day

She's a natural model. Look at her - she could be in that movie "10".
Poor Megan... she's holding the bat backwards and upside down....but she hit the ball!
And of course Cricket had to help out.  These people don't know what they would do without her around.

More pics from Tokyo

Shrines are Shinto and Temples are Buddhist.  I can't remember if this is a temple or shrine, but it's pretty famous for the big red lantern you see here. 
Here is Cricket getting her picture taken by the masses, yet again.  I don't know if it's every American baby or if there is something about her, but whenever we go out into town she gets soooooo much attention.  People were getting their picture taken with her, I swear.  It was so weird.
This is part of a local brewery.  I won't say anything else about it.
On the way home Cricket was putting Chex between her toes and then eating them.  She's sooooo her fathers child!!
On top of Tokyo Tower.  Megan was running around crazy and wouldn't stop to get her picture taken.  

Getting Busy

I've always worked. Even when I was pregnant with the girls, I worked right up until the day I went into labor.  I did take about a year off when Megan was a baby, while Paul was out to sea, but then I went back to work.  When Paul and I decided that I would stay home with the girls, I thought I would be overjoyed and I am up to a point.  It's now been over a year since Cricket was born and I am having a hard time staying home.  So I've decided to volunteer a bit and to become one of the Ombudsmen at the Naval Hospital.  Also, we're going to the states for about a month this summer, and I cannot wait.  We cannot wait to see everyone and spend some time in the good ol' US of A.
