Crazy Busy

Yes, I know it's been forever since I posted anything on my blog. I haven't forgotten about it. We're just busy. We've had a lot going on since then end of August. All at the same time we moved into the house, I started school at the Education center on post, and Marin started school at the Japanese school (which took a lot to prepare for and get used to). Also, Marin has taken swimming lessons, violin lessons, plays on a soccer team, and is in Girl Scouts. Jeff, has played softball and flag football, and I have been busy with school and several church callings and Relief Society activities. We really jumped in with both feet, and then found ourselves busier than we realized we would be! Jeff doesn't mind being busy, busy, busy, going from one activity to another with no down time, but that doesn't work for me. I need flex time and breathing room.
Here are some pictures from recently, in no particular order.

Marin playing soccer. She's in blue, with her hair braided. Can you find her?

Marin in her summer uniform, going to catch the little yellow school bus. The car is our Honda CRV.

This is the picture I took at Marin's school of the things I had to go find at a Japanese supermarket. A picture says a thousand words--in any language!!

Marin with Girl Scout friends.

There is Marin hanging on to the fence, watching Dad, #77.

These are all Marin's school supplies that I had to label with her name on every individual piece.

Marin loves swimming! Here she is floating with the help of her teacher, Mei.
