A Year End Respite

Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m pleased to report that Ash’s parents arrived for their week-long visit safe & sound! They’ve truly been experiencing Japan; camping with us in our icebox, munching on mounds of mikan (mandarin oranges), traveling all around Tokyo via the JR train line, seeing tourist sights with all the other Japanese tourists, sauntering around in Ginza, playing Rook in a laundromat while getting stared at by little old ladies passing by the windows on the street… it’s been fun to share a slice of our life here with them, although I still think they secretly can’t wait to get back to their nice warm bed at home :)

I’m also pleased to report that so far, Pop has managed to frighten at least two parents with his grinning and waving at the incredibly cute kids toddling around the various tourist sights.

They are sooo cute. Seriously.

Anyway, our guests will return home just after New Year’s, so we have a few more days of both the mundane and excitement ahead of us!

In short, this is my reason for not updating this site til now, a service announcement that there will most likely be no other entries until things have settled down around here, and a promise that I will share anything interesting that happens… eventually.

Until then, may the Lord touch your heart with His love in the year to come, and may you recognize it when He does.

Happy New Year!
