I have not posted in a while. The baby is 6 months old now. He is trying to crawl, but only moves backwards and he gets frustrated. Because he is frustrated, he cries a lot and wants to be held more. He is almost 11Kilos or 24 pounds! Takafumi will turn 5 next month! He is enjoying his kindergarten. They sing a lot and make arts and crafts. I just got done applying to the local university for a Master degree in TESOL. Toshitaka is still teaching 5th and 6th grade math.

Today I walked to the local jidoukan, or the place where children can play. They had a exchange of children`s goods. Over 100 moms attended. It was so crowded. I just quickly picked some clothes for Takafumi and left. It was super cold on the walk home.
