Winter adventure

We decided to take Hoosier to the Komaki Resort that we went to a few weeks ago.
He wanted to get in the water to get the ducks....but we wouldn't let him get two baths in one day.
I thought this was a cute pic of Josh's reaction to Hoosier's kisses. :)

Hoosier the reindeer!

We got Hoosier these cute Reindeer antlers.
Needless to say, we had to give him some treats to get him to wear it.
Now, you can see how much he liked them.
I really like them though. :)

New Ultrasound Pics....

Yesterday we went to a town in Japan called Hachinohe for our last ultrasound. Basically, we wanted to be told that it is a boy just one more time.
In this photo you can see his face.
This one, well, it's a boy and is showing everyone.
This last one is a 4D ultrasound of the face. It may be hard to see, but you can see eyes, nose, and mouth.

Six months!

Six months already???? Third trimester is here!

The gifts are starting to roll in..........

So, let me begin by saying that I married into a great family and my in-laws are truly great!
Josh's parents have been sending us a lot of stuff to include clothes (even Spiderman themed ones), blankets, toys, a cute elephant stuffed animal, some $$$$ to help out, and much more!
The elephant is on the changing table...Josh's sister and her family sent us the crib bedding set we picked out and the mobile that matches. I picked it out in a magazine and have never seen it in person, but am so glad I picked that one because it is super cute.Thanks so far for the goods from everyone!

New Car and Table

We got a new car and dinning room table. The process for both took a LONG time, but finally, well worth the wait for them.
The car is a Honda Odyssey and it is super nice. Plenty of room for the new addition to the family soon.
We also bought a brand new 2010 Ford Fusion that will be delivered to us when we return to the states which we are super duper excited about. We ordered it here and never saw it in person until the other day and have to say, we made a great decision...we love it!
First, we ordered a dinning room table and when it got here it was broken. They could not order a replacement, so we picked out a new one and had to wait almost 2 months for it to get here. It is a marble top with amazing leather chairs. It weighs over 250 lbs., so four guys from Josh's work had to come over to get it flipped over after putting it together. But, oh isn't it so beautiful!!!!

Tokyo Disney Sea



We had a free day and decided to go to Tokyo Disney Sea. It is almost just like Disney, just nautically themed. We were like big kids again!

Buddhist Temple in Tokyo

We went to a Buddhist Temple also and was able to inhale healing incense to help cure any illnesses. We also took our chance at pulling a good fortune, turns out Josh got a bad fortune and had to tie the fortune on a string to get rid of it. Fortunately, at least one of us got a good fortune.

Cultured Pearls in Tokyo

We went to a Jewelry store and was shown an exhibit of how pearls are cultured in oysters. There was one lucky winner of a pearl and guess who it was........Me!!!

Imperial Palace in Tokyo


The Imperial Palace is where the Royal family, the Emperor and his family, in Japan lives. We also got to see the changing of the Guards, which was really neat.

Shinto Shrine in Tokyo


We visited a Shinto Shrine, Shinto is a religion in Japan. When we walked through the Tori gate, it purified us spiritually. However, we had to purify ourselves physically by washing our hands and mouths before entering to the shrine. It was an amazing religion and I even got a chance to pray just like the Japanese do. It was a great experience.

Tokyo Tower






The Tokyo Tower is a replica of the Eiffel Tower, but bigger. We got to go inside of it and see amazing views of Tokyo.
