Jason and Tomo-chan

Backing up to before we left for California, we were able to enjoy more quality time with the Kanedas. They came over for Sunday lunch. It was nice enough to eat and play outside.

After visiting us on Saturday evening, Akiko and Katsuyuki let Tomoka watch the video they had taken at our house that night. Much to our delight, her parents reported that Tomoka said over and over again, 'I want to play with Jason and Nicole'. How sweet she is!

Tomo-chan is always so shy with Jason at first. But once she gets comfortable, she's 'all-about-Jason'. She runs after him and every trick or game he plays is followed with a 'mou ikkai yatte' ('do it again!') from Tomo.

What a blessing she is to us!
