Lazy Mind

Looking more handsome by the day! Luke has become quite a good boy. He seems to cry only when he wants mum's milk and spends the rest of the time sleeping or quietly looking around. We are not holding our breaths but it is starting to look like Luke will be an, dare I say, easy-ish baby to care for.

Luke was born on 3rd January 2005 at 2:08 AM. His weight was 3524 grams. Height 51 cm. Both he and Saori are doing well

Welcome to 2005 everyone. We are spending the New Year period at Yasuko's (Greg's mother in law) house. We had a small party with Saori's sister, her husband and their daughter on New Year's Eve. A great time was had by all. Entertainment was provided by the children. (Amy 3yrs, Kimika 1yr) Baby's due date is tomorrow, January 2nd. We were hoping he would arrive earlier but I guess you can't schedule these things. In true keeping with the New Year holiday mood we are spending the day relaxing. I will try to redesign our web site. Seeing as I haven't updated it for many years any small change would be good. I'm not good at keeping New Year's resoulutions, is anyone, but I am going to update the site more. Part of the site is of course this blog. Stay Tuned!

This photo was taken near the English school I work at. It's starting to get cool now. The daytime highs are in the low teens. Winter is definately on it's way.

Amy really likes Christmas cake. She couldn't keep her eyes off it after it came out of the oven.

Paul and Sherill were happily married at their home in Glenfeild on Saturday 23rd of October. Welcome to the Thomson family Sherill! The occasion was attended by close family and friends. A number of people came from overseas to attend the event. The ceremony was down to earth in keeping with Paul and Sherill's desire. Despite some rain things ran smoothly and a great celebration was had.

Above is the latest typhoon to hit Japan. It had us worried for a few days. Until this morning we were not sure whether it would strike Tokyo at the same time Amy and I were leaving for New Zealand or not. According to current forecasts it will be off the coast of Hokkaido when we fly out. What a relief that is.
