Japan Town in the City

It wasn't quite Tokyo, but watching Nikko and Emi shop for Japanese goodies and eat tempura in J-Town was reminicent of our time in Roppongi less than 6 months ago. Of course, the best part was having Miya there to add to the chaos fun. :-)

It's funny and quite remarkable to see how much Nikko has matured in 6 months. In Japan, Gregor had to carry him (or he sat strapped in the stroller) much of the time because he loved to wander off. And he was quick! Now, he sticks with us, just like Emi and Miya do. The three of them will hold hands and going out, like we did this weekend, is far less stressful than it would seem. It was a lovely day trip and, as the kiddos slept in the backseat on our way home, Gregor and I talked about how lucky we are to have them.
