In a Blink of an Eye

Wow! the munchkins and I were taking a trip down memory lane just yesterday looking at photos from the last three years. When we arrived on Okinawa, the Little Dudes were 15 months old and were just starting to take their first steps unaided. Big Sister was our curly headed 3 1/2 year old eager to soak up the Japanese culture and whatever else came her way.

We attended a "going away" function last evening along with three other families who arrived in the summer of 2005 who are also departing in the next few weeks. It was fun to reminisce about our early days in Okinawa and to marvel at how enjoyable our time here has been and how quickly all of our kids have grown.

I can only say this: the past three years have been such a wonderful experience and education to us all! It will definitely be a tour I will cherish and I hope the kids will always remember living in Japan fondly.
