Christmas with Kate

MUST LOVE DOGS

Seph and I really miss Arnold and Charlie, but they are very happy in Indiana so we have decided to let them stay with Beth and my mom. Actually, I think my sister would take me to court if I tried to get Arnold back! Anyway, Kate absolutely loves dogs and will point them out from a mile away. We were at the park last Sunday and she made two new friends in a matter of minutes. My guess is that we will have a new addition to the family within the next few months...a dog that is!!!!

My little helper

Needless to say, I did not get much done yesterday!

Things I miss

Here is a list of things that I miss about Tokyo

My friends and KJ's friends
Having the Eich's stop by at random times
Maria Len
Wednesday play group
Having my groceries delivered
*Yelling out SUMI MASEN when I needed something (I tried yelling out "excuse me" at a bar last friday and I don't think it went over very well)
*Having even the smallest purchases wrapped up so beautifully and put in an awesome bag (taped up of course)
Taking Kate for walks around the city
The Toto toilets! The Japanese really do have the best ones in the world!
*The subway system
How easy it was to get a taxi
The front desk girls at our apartment. They would always smile!
Seeing Mt. Fuji on a clear day
*Walking everywhere
*Paying our bills at the 7-11




*this is also something that I would complain about on any given day
