I knew Peter would be a good daddy but he has exceeded all my expectations. He loves his little girl with all his heart and we love him right back. Happy father’s day Peter.
And a happy father’s day to my handsome daddy! Thank you so much for all you do! I love you!
I have a lot of stuff to do. Lots of stuff I don’t want to do….Like write a paper, fold a weeks worth of laundry, do dishes, vacuum, mop, clean the bathroom, clean someone else’s house (I do that on Fridays)… so instead I’m going to take a nap! It’s settled. Maybe I’ll have some motivation when I wake up! Maybe…..
When it comes to the pacifier I occasionally joke that I did things a bit backwards. At one year many moms are trying to break their babies from using a pacifier. I on the other hand didn’t even give Cora a pacifier until she was one. Being a breastfeeding mom I had to wait a certain amount of time before I could introduce a binky or a bottle. I didn’t want to disrupt my milk supply or confuse her. I went way beyond that time period. I probably could have completely skipped giving her a binky but it is a helpful little tool and she looks so darn sweet with it. I know I could take it away and she wouldn’t miss it. To some it may seem backwards, to me it was just right.
It has been 7 days since I last blogged. My apologies. School and life has been a little hectic. I want blogging to be a pleasure and if I’m not feeling up to it, I’m not going to do it. But I do have some stuff to share. :)
We’ve been meaning to go to this restaurant that Peter had told me about basically since we got to Japan. It is just down the road from the main gate. This past Wednesday we had time to spare before church and we finally made it! It’s called Uhei or Fish Tank. I’m not sure if that is an actual translation or if that I just what they call themselves for the English sake because they have a huge fish tank on the outside of their building. Either way, Peter kept telling me about the stuffed chicken wings they had. I wasn’t that impressed with those (SORRY BABE) but I did enjoy the other food I got!
A shot of the front.
Checking out the fish from the inside of the restaurant.
Notice the tables on the left. You take off your shoes and sit Indian style on the raised floor. That isn’t the most comfortable seating for Peter with his long legs so we opted for a table.
Looking into the kitchen area. Most restaurants do their cooking in an open area where the customers can watch.
the seafood.
bacon wrapped everything!
These bowls were super yummy and so simple. It is just rice, egg, and chicken for me, pork for Peter. Soooo good.
The gyoza stuffed chicken I was so excited to try. It was pretty good but I don’t think I would get it again.
Walking to church…hand in hand!
Peter talked me into getting some flowers and I’m glad he did. They make me smile. They make my kitchen a happier place. Judy, do you know what kind of flowers these are?
On the way to the beach Monday we came across this little gem, Jam’s Garden. It was so cute. We had to stop in and give it a try.
Strawberry + sugar+ love. Boil. Put in a jar with lid and string= Love Jam
Memorial day was spent partially at a church picnic and partially out at Oshima Island. Two other couples and us caravanned out there and frolicked on the beach. It had been raining for days and days but the sun came out Monday and it was beautiful!
The water was way too cold to play in but we lounged around in the sand and soaked up the sun.
