2 month "gotcha day" anniversary! June 28, 2009

It's so hard to believe, but eight weeks has passed since Mika joined our family. The days are flying by so quickly, and she amazes us with her laughter and affection everyday. We celebrated the day by going to an indoor play park called "Mona Kid Jungle." We actually visited this park with Max when he was 8 years old and we lived on Okinawa then. I'm going to try to find a photo of that visit to add to the website! Max is a wonderful big brother, and it's really great to see him so happy and enjoying having a little sister.
We had a wonderful day and have lots to be thankful for.

Getting ready to slide!

Ready, set, aim at Daddy!

I tried to bake a cake....and watch Mika at the same time. It wasn't pretty, but it tasted good!

Mika's always happy at dinnertime.

She doesn't quite have the fork figured out yet!

Mika wanted to help Daddy cleanup after dinner. She loves to help, and she'll say "Mika do it!"

She ran to her room and got the stool by herself.

Mika is wearing a traditional Japanese summer Yukata.

It was a long day, and we had lots of fun. (Daddy's taking the photo)
