hello! we've been uber busy and i've really wanted to blog. no, really, i've wanted to, but of course, haven't. we went to 2 new parks recently. we've been on island for around 18 months and i have no clue how we've missed these parks, but they were super cool! one is a playstructure shaped like a giant shisa dog. the other is a series of 3 treehouses, all connected. 2 are connected by a rope bridge, and the other is connected by a tunnel that reminded me of an ant colony type thing. the kids and i had a great time at them, with our friends.

also, we went away last weekend to the local resort run by the air force here. it was fun. 3 women, 10 kids. seem crazy? not really, it was a great time!! the weather was chilly and rainy, but we still managed a quick hike and alot of fun!

t and i had to get a pic with this guy, look at his awesome hair!

remember last post, when i said the kids got so much junk for christmas that i was thinking about moving to a new house? well, i did it. we move on the 3rd of march. it's just that the kids are getting bigger, and the apartment is seeming so much smaller. c gave me the go ahead, so i jumped at the opportunity. i had a new house within 24 hours of his approval. even though it's at the worst possible time (i've got the quarter marathon coming up, plus we head to singapore just 5 days after we move in), it was a perfect opportunity and i knew if i waited, the house would be gone.

the boys (k and h) are doing a baseball clinic tomorrow with the yokohama bay stars. it's a really neat opportunity for them to learn some cool tricks from a professional team and get some awesome pictures! plus, they get out of school early for it. can it get any better than that???
okay, off to play a quick game with h before bedtime.
nite nite, all. i'll post pics of the baseball clinic sometime in the next few days.
