A Fun-Filled Weekend

We had a great weekend! I am 38 weeks along so the countdown is on, but truly I am not counting. In some ways I am so over being pregnant. In other ways, I am dreading the sleepless nights and simply running after two instead of one. So I am trying to enjoy each minute as a family of three before we become a family of four. I have included a 38 week photo for your viewing pleasure. Thankfully you cannot see my swollen right ankle/cankle.

Saturday we had some of Kan's co-workers and their spouses over for lunch. We ordered in KFC and they each brought sides, along with this HUGE cake to congratulate us on our next baby. It was a lot of fun. Miyako enjoyed all the attention. She played the "animal game" with them. They put her in her rocking chair and she asked for all of her animals to sit with her. At one point, all you could see was her little face. Today, Palm Sunday, we ventured to a park nearby for a picnic with some friends from church beforehand. Miyako is sporting her reggae hat with her flower child outfit and sunglasses. She had a ball running around the large park. It was such a beautiful weekend here in Tokyo. I love spring time, especially here, as you get to enjoy the cherry blossoms. In spite of all that has happened in the past 6 weeks to this country, it was nice seeing people out today enjoying their friends and families.

And on a funny note, Miyako said the following tonight while we were praying, "And thank you that Daddy has a job and Mama doesn't." I think she meant to say, "And thank you that Daddy has a job and Mama gets to stay home." :) You just never know what will come out of her mouth.

Well, Miyako is in bed and it is time for chicken fried rice and a movie. Tonight we are watching The Social Network. Now that American Idol is getting down to 7 people, I told Kan we cannot wait until Sundays to watch it. It has been moved to our Friday night TV. I cannot stay away from the internet all weekend and too many people ruin the results whether it be entertainment headlines or friends on facebook!

Good Night all.
