We bought tickets to go to Japan! We will visit for three weeks during the winter season. We will have to pack all the cozy layers! I am so excited!

Here we are in a photo together taken by Judy. She came with us to visit Emma’s school one afternoon.

Emma is taller than Judy now. She is so happy with herself.

maiki got a wooden block game from Target and it is so fun to play. You basically throw your wooden blocks to hit and knock your opponents blocks over. We played in a grass field and I had the best time.

I did my best to fix my headphones that were falling apart. The cups outer lining had been flaking off for a year or more so I got out all of my crafting supplies to cover them up! They don’t look bad from the front view. 😉

Coffee dates and walks with friends in between work days bring me so much joy.

This image of my grocery store’s window in progress brings all the feels. I love my job and I love autumn. I was so impressed with my co worker friend who fixed up the window displays but this progress photo is the stage I preferred.
