Last week kicked off a new semester for me at both Aichi Shukutoku and at Chukyo University.
We of course jumped right in with the hard, serious work and didn’t mess around at all.
Since I know how hard that is to believe for everyone, I thought I should provide some proof of that.
Here it is:
What? Not enough proof for you!?! 😉
We just got back from taking Bynn to the airport.
He’s on his way to the US to visit with my younger brother and his family for about a month.
My brother has 2 high school aged sons, so there is going to be a lot of guys around that house for a while!
He’s looking forward to spending time there with them fishing, playing paintball, and golf.
I’m sure he’s going to have a great summer.
Here are a few photos from the airport:
Well, they come every year, if you’re lucky, and so far I’ve been pretty lucky. For a lot of years I have been very, very lucky.
So, another year and another birthday survived. Quite an accomplishment for me this time.
As usual we celebrated our birthday together (it is the same day after all ;-))
This time around I decided to try something a little different for the cake. Sulseob has been trying out making square cakes, and I decided to throw in a little extra on the decorations this time.
I claimed that there wasn’t enough space on the cake for both our names like I usually write on the cake, but really I just thought it would be nice for Sulseob to have her own cake for once. (I’ve not had my own for some time, nor one I haven’t made for myself, but I’ve had cake and a celebration with some of my students – thanks guys!! – so thought I’d do it this way this time).
This was waiting to greet me on Tuesday when I entered class:
A very, very large Birthday card for me
Here are a few photos of the cake and such from our little celebration at home:
We got a bit of a late start on this, and we’re still not finished even though Christmas is just around the corner.
Our lights from the last few years have been dropping off one by one, so this year we had to get some new ones. We’ve looked at all the department stores and specialty shops but couldnt’ find anything that really went well for our house, so we ended up having to order some things.
We love the internet 😉
Here are a few pictures. They’re not great, but they give you an idea. We have more lights coming in the next couple of days so I hope to update things then.
UPDATE: added a couple of new strings of lights.
