relaxing

We've had a wonderful break with Jomo home.  I didn't really realize 

beforehand that we would be taking such a long break from school (due to Jomo's long break), but I'm so glad I went with it. We all really needed it. It was so nice for us to spend all this extra time together. And it's not as though Jomo will be having four weeks off at a time in the near future.  Here are some pics of our fun.

Our special New Year's meal and gift of money for the kids (in the Japanese style)

Big belly, skinny legs.

S having fun wearing sunglasses.

 

The kids showed the baby how to blow into the recorder, so she can actually play it.  Lovely.

Actually it's really cute.

Z dancing in the living room and looking very grown up.
