JAPAN

Black Sand Beach

Here is Susan and I starting out our trip to Japan. This is Susans first trip out of the country that she isn't going to serve in the mission fields.

This was the view on the train as we left Tokyo heading toward Misawa. This was just a small piece of the city.

This is when Andy surprised Sharon when he got home for Korea. He wasn't due back for a few more weeks. So happy he made it back to see his daughter be born.

Here is Sharon, Susan, and I at Shrine Beach or thats what its called by us foreiners not sure if thats its real name.

my fist time to hold my sweet niece. Love that sweet baby already.

Here is Quinn Emery Gilmer born the day before my sweet Zoey Jane.

Here is Susan, Mike, Sharon, and Quinn we are all talking to Mike on Skype. We spent a lot of time on this while in Japan. Made being away for so long a little easier.

This is Emiko and I. I have on the kimono that she gave me as a gift. She is such a sweet lady glad my sister has such wonderful friends taking care of her while she is in Japan.

Rosco

For all that don't know we have added a new member to the Clayton Clan. His name is Rosco and he is a 1.4lb Long Haired Chihuahua that is cute as a button. Matt surprised me with this little bundle of joy last weekend. He has been such a joy to have in our family. He already is a spoiled little dog with lots of love and toys. Thanks again my sweet hubby for such a great gift.

Here are just a few cute pics of Zoey from the past 2 weeks. One she fell asleep in high chair it was to cute.

Macy is in Kindergarten!

Macy had her first official day of school today it only was a half day but she loved it anyway. They made play dough colored and took a tour of the school. She was so well behaved she even got a sucker from her teacher. Which she thought was just about as good as it could get. Tomorrow will be her first full day so we will see how she does. Love you Big Kindergartner make Mommy proud!:)
