Our Home in Tokyo

This is the first view the kids had of our new house. They call it "the swimming pool house" not because we have a pool, no, no, but because of the tiny white tiles that cover the house. They say it looks like the tile from a swimming pool (I guess that is better than if they called it the bathroom house....same tiles!!)

Moving to Tokyo

My sweet friend Cindy made these great travel books for each of the kids. It was fun for them to open their backpacks and find things to snack on and entertain them for the next 14 hours.

The kids pushing the luggage carts through the Atlanta Airport.

After a great summer we packed up ourselves and moved to Tokyo, Japan. The kids enjoyed the ride in the limo to the airport. There was hardly enough room for us once we put the luggage in the car.
