July Wrapup

(This pic will return, hopefully soon, with some editing)

On Sunday, July 3rd, we hosted a bunch of friends at our hose again; all of the Dads and some of the Moms have been friends since high school or college; we have grown up together, and now our families are growing together. Pictured are parts of the Kelly, Wegmann, Siemer, and Fingerhut clans.

Happy Times around 4th of July!

July 17th, 2011, was Amane's 100th Day of Life. This day is a big milestone in Japan, complete with special outfits and traditional dishes.

Had to rock the jimbei at Aldi's with Hiroki

Our friend Ethan celebrated his 5th Birthday with a party at this gym; the kids rumbled and tumbled, then got ribbons before eating some cake.

At the end of July, we got to spend some time with our cousins Owen and Vaughn Clark, in from Virginia with their Mom (and my cousin) Krista. These boys ROCK!
