Two Days and counting...

Well folks, it looks as though the Lawton gang and I will be in Utah in less than two days. We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and will hopefully be arriving sometime later in the day on Saturday! Hooray! I'm way stoked to be coming home! Hopefully there is lots of snow to play in. Ha ha...today to prep myself to come home, I went and stood in the meat department to adjust my body temperature. It was quite the chilling experience. Eh he he...okay, maybe to "prepare" myself, but they needed help back there at work to make party trays, so I was in the freezing cold! Ha ha...well we hope that you are all doing well and being safe and that ypu will be home for Christmas! Much Love, Sachiyo.

Leilani's Par-tay

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEILANI!

Well since I said that I would be better at blogging, here is the beginning of hopefully the many blogs that I have in my brain. Leilani turned seven last Saturday! She had a dinosaur party and according to Rosie they had a "roarin' good time!" Ha ha. Here are some pictures from this fantastic event. While at the party they decorated their treat bags, played dinosaur bingo, balloon stomp, and had a tricerotop (how do you spell that?) pinata with lots of treats and opened presents and ate cake...mmmmm...the kids had tons of fun! We wish you all could have been here to celebrate Leiliani's seventh birthday with us!

But on a happier note, reasons I like Leilani: She's the smartest, talented little girl that I know. She reads like a champ. She likes dinosaurs and human anatomy and always asks intellectual questions that I would never anticipate from a seven year old. She's kind and honest and so much fun to be with. Nan's got great "picture" faces and just makes me smile everyday. She's almost a grown up in a little kids body. Ha ha...

Home Free!

Well folks, it looks like I will start being a better blogger again for the next month or so because well...I'M DONE WITH FINALS! Ha ha...i feel so happy inside. I think that my finals went well so i'm pretty much at ease from here on out until I head up to Utah for Christmas! I'm soooo excited to see the family and my new little niece! But I'll definitely do some blogging this week and update y'all on everything that has been going on here. Hope you're all doing well!

A New Arrival!

Just wanted to let you all know that Hiro and Rachel had their baby yesterday! Congrats to them! They have a little girl and her name is Sophia Angel Miyuki Takahashi. I'm not sure about the spelling, but that's what my mom told me they named her. Ha ha...she was 6 lbs 10 oz and 20 1/2 inches. The baby and Rachel are doing well and are still at the hospital! As soon as someone sends me pictures or I take some of her myself when I am home, I'll post some up here. I'm so excited for the new baby!!!
