Picnic time!

We went to a day camp area about 20 minutes from us, together with two couples from our church and members of the Sannomiya Baptist Church.  It was a beautiful day, a bit chilly, but comfortable.  Lots of kids. 




 The Sannomiya church provided all the food==chicken, steak, hot dogs, shrimp, veggies and yakisoba all cooked BBQ style.  Delicious.  


Yakisoba from the grill

Yamaguchi boys helped fan the flames.


Tenpan yakisoba  :-) 

The very nice restroom

The men cleaned the used grills 

Henry gave his salvation testimony

Little Yuuri was playing with me :-) 

This game involved a hula hoop passed person to person. You had to hold hands and put yourself through the hoop to the next person. 

Arianna at Three Months

These are the most recent photos of little Arianna. Jewel said she looks like Peter and may have reddish hair.  She is really cute. 





Spring in Kobe

 Flowers blooming around here, mostly sakura trees and daffodils and tulips.  Spring is so beautiful.

Arianna at two months

Arianna is a very expressive child...lots of faces here. That's Peter's rabbit from when he was a boy.  The Moffat family gave it to him.
