The beginning of the month was Hannah's birthday! She is now 14 years old! I am really having a hard time wrapping my head around that! I always think of Hannah as a little 1st grader, but she is now in junior high school!
She had a great birthday. We had a little party and watched a DVD. Nice family time!

The next day Hannah and I went to see 'Beauty and the Beast' musical. I was not expecting it to be so good but I was amazed. The dancing and singing were very good!

Great day but rather exhausting!
We are still having a few earthquakes. Where we are they are not so strong but the people living near the epicenter are getting jolted a lot, up to ten quakes a day. Today is one month since the start of these quakes and over 1400 have been recorded. That is a lot of shaking!!
Happy happy birthday! My son is also a 2002 baby. Sorry about the earthquakes..............:-(
ReplyDeleteThanks for these birthday party photos. Really admire your work you did for this cute birthday party. Have been searching a local event venue in SF for my son’s birthday but not getting anything within our budget.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for a long time and love to see the life you have been built for yourself in a lovely country. Challenging certainly but I see your family is loved and flourishes. I have a daughter Maya who turned 14 today and she loved to see Hannah's birthday celebration photos. Maya is interested in all things Japan and is going to take 4 years of Japanese starting in September. I dont know if this is forward of me, but I will ask anyway... would Hannah like an American penpal? Maya would love to connect with someone her age. I dont have a blog but I am on facebook and my email is kirangriffith@gmail.com.
