Konichiwa Japan

It is now six weeks since we have been in Japan, and I apologize for the limited number of pictures I have to show for it.  Eléa has been settling in well and has made many new friends and admirers... Her mother, me, has managed to make some new buddies as well, thank goodness.  After the initial crazy period of getting a handle on all the logistics in a foreign country (e.g. internet, cell phone, bank account, etc.), we have finally begun settling into a routine.  Days consist of trips to the park, indoor play areas and play dates with friends.  Eléa is a huge fan of her bike seat and bike helmet and loves to just ride around town.  She is too brave sometimes, and many of the Japanese parents are in awe of all the things she does by herself.....like slide down the extremely fast concrete slide over and over by herself.  I will try to be better about taking photos, and keep everyone updated.

Ball of cuteness!

So many new friends.  The child on the left, is her new besty, Shion.

Japanese style....

Fun at the park.
