Our First Visitors to Japan!

A few weeks after Catherine was born, we were excited to welcome our first visitors to Japan!  Ryan's parents, Mark and Candy, arrived and stayed with us for two wonderful weeks.  Not only was it fun for Matthew and Catherine to have some time with their grandparents, but it was also fun to show them our new "home" here in Japan.  We did some sightseeing and lots of relaxing.  Overall, it was a special time with family!

Of course, we had to make a stop by Starbucks!

Playing cars - Matthew's favorite thing to do these days!

By the time we were heading home, the clouds finally started to lift so you could see the top of Mt. Fuji.
