School days

We're meeting with the principal and teacher in a bit...

Kindergarten

Today is the first day. Since my first day is one of my clearest childhood memories I'll know it'll evoke that when we walk up to the school.

Spring is here

It was a perfect day. The weather was 23C and the sky was blue.

A pale moon hung over the birthday party for my eternally smiling niece, Sarah.

We hung out in the back yard and I found how what a great slugger Vinny is.

The only thing that spoilt this day was the absence of the loves of my life.

Music and Lyrics

I went to see this chick flick today. It was pretty good. Emi loves this kind of movie so I hope we can see it together sometime.

I went to see Charlie's girls play soccer today but because of a mixup about the time I ended up getting there right as the game ended. Rats!

Sick

I got some kind of stomach thing from my daughter.

1 day totally shot. Today - feeling much better.

Decisions, Decisions

I learned a valuable lesson this week - never, ever, ask a 3 year old to make a decision if there are more than 2 possible choices.  It's just not fair to them.

First Day of School

Today was my daughter's first day of school.

It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. We wrote her name on the blackboard together - she saw the other students' names written there and she wanted to be like them.

When we went to get her after school she asked me, "Can I come here again tomorrow Dad?"

Homecoming

There's nothing like a homecoming. All is right.

Ahhhh!

They arrived home safe tonight.

Tomorrow

They'll be home tomorrow.

Family reunion day

Headed out now to the family reunion.

Update - turnout was pretty low but we had a good time anyway.

One week left

One week left until they get back. Can't wait!

Miss them

13 days left until Emi and Ayaka get back to where they belong.

I miss them but in the meantime I'm trying to live a very spartan existence in order to save some cash - the Euro is a pretty expensive purchase right now.
