On the 22nd, we did a "photo shoot" to get a picture of Joshua for our Christmas cards...
Behind the scenes we are working hard to get photos BEFORE Joshua lunges and/or makes a beeline straight for the camera!
Here are the "outtakes"










On Monday, the 23rd, we celebrated Thanksgiving at the beautiful home of Katsu & Maimi, friends from church, also in the Translation/Interpreting Ministry Team. The 23rd is a Japanese holiday, similar to "Labor Day" in the U.S., but it's actually named "Thanks Day" to thank the farmers for bringing in the fall harvest.

The 20 pound turkey is BIGGER than sweet, little Joshua, weighing in around 17 pounds!

The menu included turkey, sweet potato casserole, Mom Caputo's famous Mystery Pecan Pie, Keiko's American-style broccoli casserole & pineapple casserole, corn salad, Mongolian meat pouches, tacos, Japanese Oden (delicious boiled dinner, great in cold weather) and many other delicious treats!



Keiko and Joshua's pal, Casey, born this past August

Nice to see some new photos! We will keep you in our prayers as the six-month adoption process draws to a close.
