Secret Garden

Life in Okinawa has been sweet since our last post.

We spent a Tuesday at a new place called Transit Cafe right on the seawall with a great view of the East China Sea and all the neighborhood lights. We've decided that it's one of our new favorite places and that anyone who comes to visit will definately get a dinner there on us.

It was a perfect night. A typhoon was coming....coming close, but not too close to us.... so there was a great breeze and some relief from the normal heat.

Grayson has been chatting up a storm. His new favorite words being money (not sure why) and buddy.

He is also becoming quite the artist....with his coloring and...

designer sticker cards for the family.

We finally decided to venture out and explore more of the island.

Michael actually had a 3 day weekend for Columbus Day.

So, on Monday we headed down to Naha City.

And went exploring in the Fukushen Gardens.

We went with Grayson's good buddy and his parents.

The boys loved feeding the fish.

And the turtles.

The Gardens are free for Americans.

We weren't sure of their significance.

We think something to do with WWII happened there.

All in all it was a fun place to take some new snapshots.

And then head out to lunch.

I'll end this week's post with some exciting news. Michael and I are expecting again! We are 14 weeks along and due in April. Grayson seems to be excited about being a big brother and even clapped when we saw the baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound. Can't wait to share some pictures of our new addition in the coming weeks.
