Our FIRST week in our New home:) felt great!!!!! Especially sleeping on our most comfy bed again!! Boy did I miss that!!! Well Monday was a crazy day, Dalin had to go and take his driving course and his test and then he got to go look at cars....well.....when he got to his course they told him that he had to be in his uniform.....thankfully I love my neighbor and Allison drove me to him so I could give him his uniform....well, I was suppose to be home ALL DAY because our government furniture was being dropped off....and of course they come while I'm running my emergency errand.....so we still had no furniture....well, Dalin found these way nice couches on Okinowa Yard Sales for only $300 (for the love seat AND the sofa) way good deal! So we bought them, and they are so comfy!! We love them!!!
Well, since we weren't home when they dropped the furniture off we had to pay 5000 yen to re-pay them for coming down, and we had to reschedule the apt....well I had to go and do it, since Dalin is at work all day...and my friend took me down to go and reschedule the apt....I took my power of attorney and everything. when I get there, of course my power of attorney isn't good enough...didn't know that there were so many different kinds of power of attorneys.....so we have to wait to reschedule the apt till we have the RIGHT power of attorney....well we FINALLY get the right power of attorney and our stuff arrives on Friday the 19th. So we had no furniture for a whole week...no dining table or chairs, no dressers, and no coffee table....boy was I happy when our furniture arrived:) and was really happy that we purchased our couches so we had somewhere to sit.
Taelin also learned how to say HI on Monday. He loves to look out the window and say hi to people, or just look out the window in general:)
Linda Barton invited Taelin & I to go with her and her 6 month old to the Park where we would be meeting Sis. Reinhart at the park with her 3 boys.
We walked to the park and I spotted THESE pretty flowers! These are EVERYWHERE!! I love it!!
The was was a lot of fun. Taelin of course had so much fun swinging....and then taking his shoes off and putting on another girls shoes walking around the playground.
Sis. Reinharts baby and Sis. Barton's baby had fun swinging together

| Taelin loved to swing, with his puppy ( well Mindy's old puppy, it got put in with all of his toys...whoops, thanks Mindy) |
 |
| Taelin found these girls shoes sitting at the end of the slide, so of course he wanted to take his off and put on theirs! |
Wednesday was a BIG day!! 1, we got our new car!! it's a black Mazda Millenia sedan. So nice!! Pics to come soon! My neighbor Allison took Taelin & I to this class called Alligator Steps for Taelin. Taelin had the time of his life!! It was so much fun!!! Before we left for the class Taelin found this ball in the front yard and was kicking it around. He's got a pretty good kick!

Saturday was a very fun day! We went to a Baptist Easter Hunt, and Taelin only found 8 eggs, because once he learned that the eggs opened, he wanted to open them all. It was so funny!! What a funny kid!
That night we went to our friends house the PEDERSENS and dyed our Easter Eggs. Taelin & Jaxen have so much fun playing together!! I love that he has a new best friend!
He was so curious when he put the egg in that right after he dropped it in, he was ready to drop more in! it was so cute!
 |
| Such a funny picture of all of us looking at what's happening to the eggs |
 |
| Daddy worked very hard on his eggs too:) |
