This town is crazy for the Seahawks and Evie has picked up "Go Seahawks!" from the teachers and other kids at school. Scott and I don't really pay attention to football so I find it amusing that SHE informed us yesterday that the Seahawks were playing and could we watch them on TV? We let her watch for about 15 minutes, and at least this time, she remembered to cheer for the blue-and-white team (last time she wanted the red guys to win). It's kinda hard to explain the rules of football to a 3 year old, and from the look on her face, I don't think we did a very good job!
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
