Mother's Day

My mom, Sheila, just returned home from a weeklong visit with us in Tokyo and, wow, do we miss her already!


We shared a Mother's Day excursion to busy Shibuya on Sunday while Blaine took Lucinda and Arno to the Tokyo American Club. The kids behaved horribly on the bus that day, but I didn't have to deal with it - my Mother's Day present.


Lucinda is especially close to her grandmother, who is teaching her how to knit and sew and needlepoint. On Monday afternoon, when we were all gloomy about Grammy's departure, Arno suggested that we draw pictures and send them to her to cheer us up, which we will surely do.

Thanks for the visit, Mom! We'll see you this summer in the U.S.
