Random picture week

We were busy last week, and I realize that now that I upload pictures. Tuesday was September 11th (busy for Steven), I had my sleep study on Thursday night, and Emma gave me her cold, so we were a little under the weather, and the Friendshio Festival (also busy for Steven). Emma had a great time spending the night with big Emma and her family while I did my sleep study (Steven was working). I’m just glad my sleep study is over...I didn’t miss any trains, and I survived the night. Today I am in Yokosuka for my CT scan. Hopefully soon someone will be able to tell me something! 

This Wednesday was super busy: picture day, first day of PWOc and Awana. This is what Emma wanted for her hair for picture day. I told her that it wouldn’t show up in her picture, but she wanted it anyway.  So I took a picture. Isn’t the back if her hair cute?

Sorry this is sideways. This is Steven’s shirt for their tower run on September 11th. It has all 343 names on it. I thought it was pretty cool. They talked about September 11th at school, I think it is the first time I remember talking about it with Emma.

One of my many pages telling me where to go for my sleep study. This was my train schedule.

She loves her presents Aunt Suzanne!

Playing Quiddler Jr. We love this game. It helps with their spelling, vocabulary and math! And looks what Emma spelled. 🤦‍♀️ (We play a lot with Paris.)

So this weekend was the Friendship Festival on base. It is basically like an air show. There are 100k-200k people on base for this. Lots of food booths, planes, jets, music, etc. We weren’t going to go since we weren’t feeling good, but we got cabin fever and so we went for a little. I got fried Oreos, and Emma got a snow cone with strawberries on it. Mostly she wanted to see Daddy...and not the giant characters that were dressed up. He spent most of his day taking pictures with Japanese people in front of the fire truck I think. By the time we got there he had gone inside, but we did get to see him. I wish I would have taken more pictures....of things like their menus. There was a booth that sold only French fries, with different toppings: chili, marinara, carbonara, sea weed salt, etc. Many things in English are spelled how they sound, not how they are actually spelled. It made me chuckle. There were a couple food booths that had super long lines, like stand in line for an hour. Most weren’t long at all. The long ones were for pizza, and the fries. 

Emma went around taking pictures. I was smiling for this. 

Our balcony. 

Legos

Her tennis shoes

I took pictures of a Japanese bathrooms stall. 

Buttons for music/white noise, bidet, spray, etc. Usuall these buttons are on the toilet. The toilet was heated at my sleep study.

Potty seat for kids? And something else that I’m not sure what it is. 

Cane holder. Mirror, not sure what every thing is for. They also rarely have towels or a dryer, so you bring your own little rag to dry your hands.
