August 2011

In August we had to start to say goodbye to our great friends, Tesha and Tom. They headed to Germany in September. We miss them! Taylor and Olivia got in all the playdates they could. You can see the princesses here:

And Miss Olivia's princess foot, complete with purple polish:

YIKES! Look at this fellow we saw while out to lunch one day...glad I was wearing shoes!

We had a big typhoon. Not so much big, as it was loooooong. It just came and sat over the island. Typhoon Muifia had us locked in our house for 3 days straight....without AC...in August...with a 3 year old...and Mike... Haha, actually it wasn't that bad. At least we had power most of the time and we were safe and prepared. Muifa was pretty strong though, big gusts. Here's a pic of the big banyan tree outside Gate 1 he blew over while he was visiting Okinawa. WOW!

And we went to the Eisa Festival. This is the drum festival we have gone to almost every year we were here...

Olivia loves these swings and rides them any chance she can get:

One tired baby:

Here's Daddy back in 2008 trying noodles for the first time at our first trip to the Eisa Festival! We had only been in Okinawa a few days! (Note: Daddy STILL wears this shirt...)

And this is Olivia at her first trip to the Eisa Festival! Sleepy baby then too!!

Also in August, I started the 18 week Yoga Teacher Training Course. Here I am on my first day of school!
