We still exist!

Well, it sure has been a while, but a lot has happened over the past month or so.  Our holidays were bittersweet, with the kids loving the lights, family time, and of course presents, but with an unexpected death of my uncle.  Our family is hanging in there, but it sure has been hard.  Thank you to all our friends and family who have lent their support in more ways than one.  

For those of you who don't know, we are spending another baseball season in Japan this year.  Mike left last Monday and we will join him March 1st.  We are blessed to have this job, but with any situation, hardships do occur.  We hope more of our family and friends will visit this year, so you can have amazing opportunities, and we can have people around!  We are really happy to be returning to the same apartment and kids' school.  They are excited to see their old teachers and to play with some of their friends that they had to say goodbye to.  They will certainly miss their new friends here though.  The Carp, Mike's team, is getting a new stadium this year, so we are super stoked about that.  Last years stadium was a bit run down, so this year will feel like a whole new ball game (no pun intended).  

Other than that, we are just hanging in there without our daddy/hubby here and preparing for our upcoming journey.  Packing the house up is never my favorite part of this lifestyle.  Please keep your updates coming and once the season begins I will most definitely keep you all informed about Mike's games and stats.  Have a wonderful week!
