New House in Tokyo....

Our Street isn't very wide so it's hard to get far enough away for a decent shot.  So happy to finally have a garage to keep all the bikes and toys.  We also have a huge attic for storage which we really needed with all the supplies we bring back from the U.S. each Summer.

A view of our street.  It's always very hard to explain that we have a house in the middle of the city of Tokyo.  There aren't really yards.  Some people have a little bit of greenery but  mostly just concrete and power lines.

We have a front door entrance and a side one that leads to the back yard.  We actually have quite a bit of space compared to most homes and most people live in apartments.  We are really lucky to have a house and some greenery.

We sat outside and ate breakfast and dinner every chance we got before we left for the Summer.  We have only been in the house 3 weeks... 

Our little yard.  We have a parking lot next to us and a pond surrounded by trees behind our little fence.  You can see goldfish swimming around.  We do get mosquitos but love the privacy and peace and quiet.

Work out room.

Everything is very simple but clean.

Savannah and Annie heading to school on my kids' last day. 

This is where our street ends.. which this is a main street in our 'hood'.  Across the street is a baseball field, park, tennis courts, and a little to the right is the tennis club I spend my life at.

Some of the bus stop kids.  We won't be seeing most of them next year because they are moving back to the U.S.

Their cute little bus and their cool bus monitor.

Her teacher, Tomomi, was so much fun.

Life in Tokyo wouldn't be the same without my favorite person!

I hope these pics made you want to come and visit us!!!!
