Welcome back Abuelitos

Abuela and Abuelo made the long trip back to Japan and Eléa was so happy for more visitors, and attention of course!  We had a blast!  Eléa was once again able to feed some deer and monkeys while her abuelitos were able to see some sights.  She charmed them with her hugs and kisses, and general cuteness of course.  Eléa has pretty much mastered jumping and practices her kicking from swim class on an hourly basis almost.  She really loves her besties here in Japan and has started interacting with her friends more and more.  She definitely keeps us all laughing and scrambling as these days she likes to jump head first off our legs with no prior notice.  I guess she trusts us, right?  The pictures and video are  a better description of Eléa than I could write......

Grandma and Grandpa part 1

 In early May we were super excited to welcome back Grandma and to welcome Grandpa to Kyoto for his first visit during our stay!  We had a great two weeks and are excited for another two weeks soon when Grandma and Grandpa return from their travels to China and Cambodia.  Eléa was a fantastic tour guide showing her grandparents around the temples, parks and playgrounds of Kyoto.  More on Eléa's adventures and developments coming soon.....
