Sorry for the lack of an update recently. So here’s a brief rundown of what’s been happening with us !

Ever since we returned back to America three weeks ago, it’s been a whirlwind of sorts hanging out with friends and family, teaching, and reconnecting. Our family has been blessed tremendously by the love and support from everyone we met. It’s encouraging to know and to be reminded of the support that God has blessed us with.
Having a brief time to gather and collect thoughts, I just wanted to list down some brief reflections from our time here and thoughts ahead as we go back to our home.
Just like most of America, we started celebrating Christmas right around Thanksgiving. Now that we’ve lived here for over a year, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in some actual Christmas decorations. Last year, I made everything out of construction paper. It was a true #improvchristmas.
Have you ever read the book Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss? For whatever reason, out of his 20-book, Dr. Seuss collection, H really likes this one. I think the story is a little strange, and find the illustrations to be a little creepy, but he thinks it’s silly.
Having grown up in the suburbs, I had very little experience with city life prior to moving here. My only memories of taking public transportation were the occasional bus ride for a field trip or during summer vacation when I would visit my grandma in Japan.
