Okonomiyaki Party!
	 
    
    
     
    




Last week "The Mothers" had an okonomiyaki and takouyaki "Welcome Home" party for Zach and I.  Which actually meant that I learned how to make octopus dough balls, and Zach wrestled with four crazy boys for four hours!  (Plus, I was banished from helping with dishes to play a sumo attack game with girls).  The kids are perhaps the cutest children ever, and the Mothers are so incredibly sweet to both Zach and I.  We had so much fun with them, and we are so happy that we met them!!

	 The Rehearsal Party
	 
    
    
     
    




Here are pictures from the rehearsal party.  The important thing to note is the flower arrangements that I made!  I was very nervous, but I think that they turned out all right in the end.

The first-of many I'm sure- pictures of Cameron from our trip home.  Cameron is possibly the cutest baby to have ever existed, and is so happy all the time too!
