Genki in Japan - 3 Weeks In

It’s been three weeks since you and mama went to Japan, two weeks until you come home. I miss you guys like crazy. Your toys are lonely. The house is quiet. It’s a strange place to be when there is no life. Our house is usually alive with noise and smells and flying toys. There’s just none of that now and it makes for a sad, lonely place.

On the other side of the ocean, Grandma’s house is getting all of that. You are having fun with everyone. It’s great to see you with your cousins. We really hope you have a good connection with them. It will be good for your future. It’s also so good to see you laughing and smiling with Grandma and Grandpa (and great grandma!). They love you so much.

You’ve been going out a lot. Mama takes you to the park, to play areas. You even wen to the aquarium (twice?!). Of course when you were looking at the all the fish, you were holding a stick. Of course.

 We have been “talking” over video chat. It makes me happy when you see me and smile. I was a little worried you would forget about me, but every time you see me you smile and put your head against the computer. It’s the best part of my day to see you and mama. In 2 weeks you will be home. Let’s go to the aquarium!
