Sorry it has been a few days since I have written, but I promise from here on out I will try and update almost everyday.  Tomorrow is the beginning of the school year here so Jake and Jordyn will begin a new class.  The YMCA has been a great thing for them and we will continue to tell you about all their new adventures.  The cherry blossoms have bloomed here and are absolutely beautiful.  Mike has an off day tomorrow so we are going to check out the gardens and will post pictures afterward.  He is doing well with baseball.  He will throw batting practice on Tuesday, and if all goes well, will hopefully begin games some time next week.  We are so proud of him and his drive.  We are lucky to have such a great daddy, husband and friend.  We are starting to like Japan more and more everyday, we are so lucky to have this opportunity!
