Hey kids! Sorry for the lack of postings, we've been rather busy the last couple weeks! Ashley and Caitlin were visiting us for a couple weeks so we were busy having a jolly time. We've also been really busy at work-there's been some staffing probs, so we've been working more than usual. And of course, we're doing report cards before holidays and we had Parent's Week last week. The good news is that we have two weeks off starting next Tuesday so we'll finally have some R&R time!
We've decided to go to Sendai for Christmas. We really didn't want to stay and home and do nothing, so we'll do a little travelling instead. Sendai is the biggest city in the northeast part of Honshu Island (the island we live on). It's really famous because it has one of the 3 most scenic views in Japan. It's called Matsushima, which are 260 tiny islands covered in pine trees. It's supposed to be beautiful. In Japan, Christmas isn't actually a family holiday (or really, a holiday at all) but a day for couples. It's apparently the most romantic day of the year.
So we'll be in Sendai for about 5 days over Christmas. Other than that, we don't have any specific plans, we'll probably go to Yokohama (Chinatown) one day and Disneyland another. We're just really happy to relax!
Anyways, I'll be sure to post in the next week. I have a lot to talk about, but it's almost my bedtime. Luckily, I'm totally done my Christmas shopping (yay!). It's much easier when you only shop for one. Not as fun though :(
Take Care!!

Two weeks off...good for you guys!! We are glad that you will be seeing some of Japan over the holidays, although we still hope you will have time for Skype before you go. Take lots of pictures! Would love to see the view of those tiny islands. We will be missing you soooo much for Christmas! Hugs for you both :))
Not sure why I was logged in as "J"

Hey...how was it filling out report cards? Must have been a bit different giving them instead of getting them :)
