New Year- New News~~

Well, moving on after that awesome accident, in spirit- but also physically.
I will get to see one more of Zen's basketball games tomorrow night before I leave for two months in Japan.

Hey, check out this photo of this fan of Zen's! Zen says he doesn't know him.
There were three other boys at another game, one had a Z drawn on his stomach, another boy had an E and the third boy had an N!!! They stood and showed off who they were rooting for!!!




So, the weather has been dreary since the New Year storms. Life has been good though, now I'm all about packing to return to the Japan I love. I also have to do paper work to change my name as well- "Cynthia Maki Tsuruta". I've been asked why- why keep "Maki" in my name. I realized that I have many more good memories as a Maki than when I was a "Jackson", (though I'll miss talking about Jackson as my name and that my sister's name is "Janet") But, besides it's just true, I have some pride in my children and want to show I'm related to them!!

See here's one more photo of my children- see how unique they are!! xoxoxo
