It has been a long time since I posted- I figured I should put up some cute photos of the kid…
Oh and some other photos from the wedding I went to a month ago when I first arrived in Australia. Gen & Alice`s wedding was LOVELY.
In other news Noah now RUNS. Not just walks. He can run. It all happened so quickly. He took his first unaided steps just after 10 months old and has been walking relatively proficiently since 11 months.
Nothing else to report really. Noah turns one in 10 days and we decided to have a little party here in Australia even though his actual party will be Japan. Basically just us (mum, dad, my brother, his gf Gemma, Noah & I), Nay, Leilah and Nay`s mum and two of my girlfriends that live locally. We will probably go down the waterfront and eat fish and chips if the weather is nice and Gemma is making the cake. It is a shame that Shun won`t have arrived yet but that is why we will be having the party when we are back in Japan (and Noah turns one on a weekend and we will do cake back at the house so we will turn skype on when we sing so Shun can see that 
)
Christmas is then a couple days after that- my christmas shopping is all done! And almost everything is wrapped too (except I am hopeless and keep buying other things to get Noah- have NO IDEA how we will get stuff home yet). I love shopping for others!!! From Boxing Day we are heading up the North Coast for a week- a beach holiday is going to be lovely (hopefully the weather will be nice.

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
hehehe you are like my sister! she buys her kids things and then asks if she can tell her husband that I bought them! Feels strange getting thank yous from my niece for the Barbie DVD I didn’t buy her! Glad you are having so much fun! We still need to catch up! Kent and I are actually heading over your way tomorrow for my brother’s taekwando testing at a school in Wynnum, but I don’t think we’ll have time to meet up as it’s in the middle of the day and we have things to do before and after!
