Summer 2008 is here in Toyama, so it's time to go into reruns! I'm really busy these days, so I thought I'd post an old video of a trip we made to Tokyo Disneyland in March 2006, before Max was born and only a few months after Shinobu was released from the hospital following her heart operation. I hope to get back with some more current video clips soon, but until I can manage that, I hope you enjoy watching some of our old stuff. This trip was the result of a promise Shinobu and I made to each other as she recovered in the hospital after her heart attack in the summer of 2005. We thought then, "boy, won't it be great if we can take Luke to Tokyo Disneyland?" It was a happy thought that helped get us through a tough time. So, when the trip finally came to pass, it was extra special. Just seeing the excitement on Luke's face brings back great memories!

We take a break from the kids in this podcast and feature our landscaping efforts in front of our house. Check out the planting of a nice Japanese Maple tree in our front yard.
