Date Night!

H is off on a school ski trip for 4 nights so S and I actually had a date tonight. We went to a Japanese style pub and had some yummy food, got a coffee at Starbucks and then came home and watched tv. We will definitely have to do this more often. Hopefully H is enjoying himself as well. It's nice to not have to get up so early to make his packed lunch for a few days even though I miss him.
Have a great weekend everyone! ☆彡

Tokyo Station

I just had lunch with my good friend NI without even going outside the ticket gates at Tokyo Station. We had yummy Risotto at small shop and then coffee at Dean & Deluca. How cool is that!?

TGIS!

After spending more than half the day at H's school at a parent's meeting I am finally ready for the weekend although I will only have tomorrow free. It was interesting talking with all of the other mothers as I am the only foreign mom. I feel like I have such a different outlook on things than they do regarding schooling. As long as H is happy there though I'm fine with it.
Anyway, have a great rest of the weekend everybody!

Long Time, No Blog

Well, sorry everyone for the long silence. Happy 2011!
Nothing really exciting has been going on.
H is really settling into school and loving it. It is great to see him thriving in such a positive atmosphere! His English writing ability is greatly improving and he doesn't seem to be so stressed about it any more.
We spent almost three weeks over Christmas and New Year's in Idaho skiing and enjoying the holidays in the snow. It was super cold though. Many nights were below zero Fahrenheit which is -20 or more centigrade. Brrrrrr!
Now that I have this blogger app on my iPhone I'll try to blog more!
Have a great weekend all!
