Highlights from our week with our family from Japan

Marylin had a blast with her cousins and Auntie (who she just calls "autie") who have now left us for the time being to visit family in other parts of SoCal. We went swimming with our friend Melanie and her girls Kiki and Karly, went to the local fair grounds (in the blazing heat) to munch on junk food, listen to music and get tatoos, and had fun running around in the sprinklers (Jason and Julia were great entertainment - video to follow shortly). One of the great highlights was when Marylin welcomed Jason and Julia into her little toddler heart by allowing them to get close enough to have their eye brows touched - the mark that Marylin loves you. LOL. Enjoy the photos.

Cousins from Japan

Marylin's cousins and auntie are here from Japan for a visit! They will be spending their whole summer vaca here and we couldn't be more pleased. Here are a couple of pictures I snapped of them yesterday upon their arrival. Are they gorgeous or what?! I'll post more as our visit progresses :)

After a long day traveling, here they are all ready for bed.

Cousins! Janina, Julia, Jason, Trinity and Marylin.
