The bike crazy madwomen!

The girls are bike crazy this spring and we have only had a handful of days which we could ride our bikes. Julia got it, you know what I mean within a couple days of nice weather this spring she officially understands how to pedal a bike. I remember when Sydney got it February 2007 when we returned from a trip to the US. It is so much fun to do a lap around our neighborhood and Julia be able to ride her bike with only a little help, she does get worn out after one lap but it is a quarter of a mile so I will give her little 2 year old legs a break. Sydney just enjoys going down the hill as fast as possible.
I hope to get my bike ready soon and put a seat on it so we can all ride this summer. Sydney is quite the little roller skater also. She got them for Christmas and has been skating in the basement for months, Julia really wants to skate too so she may be getting some for Easter or something. Anything to be like her big sister.

The things we learn at Church!

Since we arrived in Japan we have been attending church every weekend. It has become a way of life, which it should be but wasn't. While in Japan Harry converted to Cathothism and Julia also was baptized. Now we are all Catholic and enjoying our church. Sydney has started at St. Thomas the Apostle grade school last August and she really enjoys the school. We are enjoying meeting people there and getting to know other families. Last Sunday at church Sydney said to me "the people with grey or silver hair will be going to heaven soon." She has been learning about heaven a lot at school and talks about how we should all go there soon.
We like that she is teaching us prayers that we didn't know like Angel of God, which is now one of my favorite prayers and I even caught her hoola hooping and praying.
