Can you believe it is December 1st?
I can't.
So much has changed.
We made it to the Charleston area this summer.
After spending several weeks in a hotel,
something I am NOT repeating again,
we purchased our first house.
It is a cute little ranch style with a large FROG upstairs.
No picture, though, sorry.
I'll take one this month and post it.
Shortly thereafter we got a puppy and two kittens.

We are activly working on training and socializing.

The kids are doing well.
We've been doing school,
working on the house and yard, and generally trying to catch up with life.

My goal this month is to blog daily.
Maybe I can catch up with what I've missed,
but I mostly want to get back into the habit of blogging again.
I'm also doing Journal Your Christmas this year,
so that will help and I'll try to post some of that here too.
P.S. I miss Japan.
