Settling In

We are all here, now what?

Everyday is a serious adventure for my sister Summer. Since she doesn't know any Japanese, she has been a little lost, but I am trying to show her the ropes (as if I were an expert). Here we are downtown, by the Nagano Eki, there is a greally good miso ramen shop nearby.

Monica is having fun speaking Japanese, and was the most popular person at church on Sunday. When she walked in and sat down she had only two friends there, and we were sitting next to her. We had a hard time leaving because when it was time to go home, there were half a dozen sisters trying to be her best friend.
As for me, I am relearning the Joys of Fatherhood and enjoying having my family with me. Sometimes I drag everyone all over town, although they have not yet fully recovered from jet-lag. I am so excited to have them here. This is sometimes a problem, because I now walk about five times faster than Monica and Summer. Here you see what they see of me whenever we go anywhere.
