Back home!

We`ve been home for a week and have gotten right back into the swing of things. The kids started swimming lessons, piano lessons (Tigergirl) and have been back in school since Monday. I started teaching on Tuesday.

A new shopping centre opened up in my little town but, unfortunately, there is no starbucks. I can`t believe it! I have a new cell phone that I love more than I should. What else? Tigerpapa is gone to Tokyo already. We all miss him.

I have some more pictures from out summer to share:



The next one my very talented niece took. Isn`t it awesome? She won first prize in a photo contest with it!





That last one is of "Bronze Lady". She stands like a statue until someone puts money in her pot. Then she moves around. It`s simple yet fascinating and the kids loved it. In fact, they loved all the buskers and Tigergirl got involved more than once!
