Congratulations Max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, Max was selected as the winner of a college scholarship today!!!!! He was chosen out of 83 students based on his essay and an interview in front of a panel of judges. I'M SO PROUD OF HIM! He'll be honored at a banquet on May 17th and will receive the money then. He worked really hard on his interview skills and it obviously paid off. The scholarship is from the Kadena Officer Spouses Club and they give a scholarship only once per year and can be used at the college of his choice. Yea Max, he's leaving Okinawa with a bang! I'll post more photos after the banquet.

Our Angel gets baptized. February 17, 2012
We celebrated Mika's baptism today. We had the ceremony at Holy Family Catholic Chapel on Kadena, and this is the same chapel where Max had First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Now that's quite the coincidence considering how frequently we move! Max had his Communion in 2001, and here we are eleven years later. I think that's remarkable.
We were very thankful (and very blessed) to have our dear friends Mike and Angie be there with us to be recognized as Mika's Godparents. We've been stationed together three times over the past 12 years, and we're very lucky that they're on Okinawa with us to help celebrate Mika's commitment into the Catholic faith.
It was such a special day! They greeted us at the airport when we brought Mika home almost three years ago, so we think it's only fitting that they have such a special place in her life.
At the church and ready to receive the sacrament of baptism.
Angie's Mom and Dad found this beautiful dress in Florida and sent it all the way to Okinawa!

Valentines Day 2012
Mika and I went to the supermarket in the morning. She likes to go to this one because they have little baskets for kids and little carts that she can use.
We had a very nice Valentines day this year. David surprised me and took us on a picnic with sushi from Ichibantei and a flower for me and a flower for Mika.It was a very nice treat.


Mika had a great time running around the big trees.

Some of my favorite sushi: tuna corn, and ebi fry nigiri! He got yogurt drinks for Mika, she loves them and I have a photo of her drinking one at the orphanage the day we had our "gotcha day."

A cuddle for Daddy.

Mika begged us to kiss so she could take our picture. She calls it "fairytale kisses."

Good for Max!
