lilexifloter: March 2008
http://lilexifloter.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. Circumstances forced us up to Tokyo during a weekday. This is not a bad thing, unless you get caught in rush hour (slow hour, really). We opted to skip most of the traffic madness by having dinner in the city with the kids. To our surprise, they sat through the entire hour and a half long meal quite content. I noted Liam is no longer a cheap date. As beef and sushi were options, he insisted on having both. I don't know where he fits so much food! Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Liam went...

Wednesday, April 30, 2008. This is picture of Liam signing his first official document; his bank account application! We went to the bank today and opened a savings account. He got a thrill out of signing the form and receiving his welcome packet. Monday, April 28, 2008. Alexis had her most recent field trip to the our local commissary. Her class is standing in front of the deep freezer doors. Sunday, April 27, 2008. Yes, Alexis had her first haircut ever this Friday! Big week around here! Love the miles...

lilexifloter: November 2007
http://lilexifloter.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2007. Today was our first bitter cold day of the season! I think it's a sign of an unpleasant winter. Last year was freakishly warm so we're out of practice. Liam and Alexis, true to their CT allegiance, are asking for snow. T and I can't make promises but I think we may see some white stuff this year. They really missed out on it last year. So what do I do on this very cold day (other than lots of grad work)? Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Today is T's big day! Alexis survived on a...

lilexifloter: June 2008
http://lilexifloter.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 14, 2008. We asked Liam and Alexis what their final wish was before we leave Japan. They both answered DisneySea. I'm not amused by amusement parks, but it's a wonderful experience with the children. It's so magical for them. Last trip to Tokyo. Terry surprised us by coming home a few days early. We spent the weekend in Tokyo. I hope to return this city at some other point in my life. It is one of the coolest cities! First Days of Summer. Here are the kids enjoying it Ikego style.

Wednesday, September 10, 2008. We arrived stateside just in time for July 4th! We enjoyed the Honolulu fireworks from our temporary home. Wednesday, September 3, 2008. The very last visit to Tokyo Disneyland. A day before our departure, Lauren and I hijacked the kids one last time and took them to Disney. I got misty during the light parade. All the kids were sooo happy. We still managed to be the loudest people in the park. We had dinner with the friends we left behind in Japan. Last day of preschool.

Tuesday, December 25, 2007. We had a really nice Christmas day together. It was laid back. The doc is in. Dr Liam and Dr. Alexis in the house. We gave the personalized doctor kits for Christmas. Liam was quite impressed by the personalized doc bag and lab coat! L- and A- were thrilled at the sight of all the goodies Santa left for them! They actually slept until 7 am! That was great for us! Twas the Night Before Christmas. Ready for my Close Up! Christmas is Coming, the goose is getting fat. We decorated...

lilexifloter: February 2008
http://lilexifloter.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 22, 2008. And just like that, the Mendes leave Japan.Friendship is a double edged sword in the navy. You befriend the most amazing people, knowing that you will only be together for a limited time. It's funny, but it doesn't get easier to say goodbye. It's comforting to know that our nomadic lifestyle has allowed us to enrich our lives with good people.Lis, you were right. It's easier to leave than be left behind. Sunday, February 17, 2008. I ran and completed my first marathon in 4:36!
