I'm testing this video clip I took of my girls during a dance show they did in October. If you can see the clip, then Julia is on the far right, the little short girl in red, and Janina is on the far left, the girl with white decor on her costume. Our good friend Renee is the one in the center.

USJ
A few shots of our day at USJ. It rained pretty much the whole day, but that didn't keep us away, nor did it keep out half of Japan, it was SO crowded!! Here we are in front of the main entrance (with a cake behind us), in front of the Terminator robot, in front of the Devorian(?) in Back to the Future, and with one of the actors from the Water World show. Check out the three boys while waiting for Back to the Future, they were so bored in line!
Events
Events in our live in the past month or so:
Not that much has been going on, Janina graduated from elementary school and is starting Jr. High this month, Jason is now in 5th grade and Julia in 3rd. We had Spring Break, and went to USJ, but the weather was sort of miserable so we didn't really go out.
Oh yes, in March the local elementary school had 3 death threats against the students, someone threatening to follow students home and kill someone. The last one was on the last day of school, and they had actually called the NHK television station and told them to come film our school as they were going to snatch a kid and kill them! Whenever this happens the police show up for a few days, driving around, standing outside the school, and the teachers will only release the kids to a parent, noone else can pick them up. It's sort of scarey, but so far nothing bad has happened.
I thought maybe it was normal for schools to get these sort of threats, but apparently none of the other schools in our city get any sort of threats or calls, it's only ours, weird!

Harry Potter Cake
Grandpa brought back a Harry Potter cake mold so we made the cake for Janina's birthday. The only problem is, he and Windy forgot to send food coloring, so poor Harry Potter looks like he spent a day at the beach with no sunscreen. It took me about 2 hours to decorate, I told Janina it was part of her present, it took so damn long!
Happy Birthday Janina!
Janina turned 12 on February 10th. Here's a few pictures from her special day! She got a lava lamp, sweater and Felicity Wishes cross-stitch from Mom, and a subscription to a home manga-course from mom and Dad, and some money from her aunts and grandparents and friend! Thank you everyone who made it special for her!

My sister Windy has gone and posted some of those really embarrassing old pictures, so I'm returning the favor. Here she is with Autumn, ages 10 and 9?
