I keep this blog for friends, family and students in Japan& the U.S.

Since Spring '07, Zen and Taka moved to California full time for Zen's basketball career. I'm in California most of the time right now too. Almost every day I go to help my Grandmom. She was born in 1919. Taka and I also get to work for Uncle Lynn's landscaping company. Santa Cruz, California. As beautiful as ever. However I still feel homesick for Japan~~

Naomi's 24th Birthday April 7th, 2010

We couldn't be there- in Japan- to celebrate~ but they could have her birthday party at my school-house with all of her friends!!!
(THANK YOU KAHORI-CHAN FOR SHARING THESE PHOTOS WITH US!!!)

Doesn't that photo above, look like ghosts are giving peace signs behind Naomi's head?!!!

See, those kids had a great ol' party in our little abode!!

And then the one sibling to miss it, ZEN...oh yeah, and me~of course and Taka~
~ "stuck" here in California.

I was shocked...Zen ASKED to take a photo with MOI!!! Don't know why...maybe he's going to post it on his facebook and joke about his mother?!!
