Happy Valentine's Day!


Hello everyone! We would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! Avery had a Valentine's party at school friday...here is a pic before she left.


In Japan, it is tradition that the female gives a gift to the male. This is a way of her showing her interest in him. So...keeping in the tradition, well.... Curtis and I decided to do nothing for each other.
So since today was a FABULOUS day (weather was PERFECT), we rode our bikes to the zoo that's free to the public and walked around. Then we went to a store called "Homes" and bought a grill for 3900 yen (about $40.00) and came home and grilled steaks! They were so good!

Sounds like you all had a nice Valentine's Day. It was like any other day to me - HOME ALONE. LOL -
sounds like a movie, huh? Sweet sweet pic of Avery ready for school. Curtis, the new Amazing Race starts tonight. I want you & sista Tessie to sign up for the next one - oh, that would be great. And, NO, I'm not going to pay your salary for the months you have to take off work. Just win the million & you won't have to worry about that.
Love you all - keep the posts coming!

Hi, Kids! Finally - I figured out how to leave a "post"! I hope that we can remember all these fun things that you have done so we can do them too when we are there! Only 4 more weeks! Love you all!
