Today we’ve had our very good friends from Boise come to visit. They’ll be here for a few days. This is the sleeping arrangements and the kids seem to have a great time. And this is not even all of them. The little one has his own quarters. More to come.

We had a wonderful visit today. Our dear friend Naoki came to visit us. We met Naoki a few years ago when we lived in Boise, ID. He went back to Japan for a year and is back in North America to work on his Doctorate of Musical Arts. It was very fun to see him after almost three years. Our son was very little and does not remember him very well. Our daughter, on the other hand, who was only a few months old, became good friends with him very quickly and she calls him Pinocchi which we found very funny. Being a Japanese and after having lived in North America for quite some time, he got used having his name mispronounced (just like I did) and on occasion he was even called Steve. (!?)
We definitely are excited to have Naoki on Canadian soil and hope to be in touch more often.

I got home and our good friends had stopped by, ready to go on a date. They asked me if I could snap a quick picture of them so I went inside and got a portrait lens. I had them for a few minutes and got a few great images. This is one of them, posted here with their permission.
