Growing up very quickly!!

Yay, Preston is home now!! We could not see him yet, but we are so proud of him!! and We are so happy that his family came back from the Philippines safely.
Well, here we are still having  huge problems and we cannot go outside and play because of radiation.  Joi feels stressed about it but she is still small so, it's better to stay indoors. There are no children at the parks and there are many kids at indoor play places. However, Joi is learning a lot of things and makes me happy everyday!!
Now....She can tell me before she needs to use toilet. She can read "Mommy, Daddy, my sister's name, Apple, Banana,Joi". She can sings and draw very well. She can switch between 2 languages well. She can button up, etc......
This is a picture she drew. (I drew  the outlines.) She drew their eyes, mouth, and hands. Second pic is my face!!

  Joi did a great job!!

She is such a silly girl!! Maybe hard to see but this last picture, She is wearing foundation make up. I was cleaning the house and next thing I knew was this!!

Oh my goodness!!! I guess this is proof that she is growing up. I love you Joi, no matter what you do.

Tragedy!!

Dear Grandma
    I still can't believe that. but... Thank you so much for everything!! I always loved to talk to you. We miss you and love you so much!!
I really hope that Grandpa is doing ok!! I am so sorry.

We are having crazy days. Huge earthquake happened in Japan on Mar.11. That was really really scary. I thought I was gonna die!! When the earthquake happened I was with Joi but no one else was here with us.  Joi was so scared and held me so tight and she was trying so hard not to cry. The earthquake was too big to stand, and it was so long. Many things were falling down and the house got messy very quickly. We were both shaking...and again, another big earthquake happened!! Joi started to cry and I tried so hard to protect her. I called Jarod but the phone did not work!!But we are all safe!! I am so thankful for that.
Since the earthquake, we were suffering from aftershocks like 100 or 200times. Aftershocks have been continuing.... Whenever it happens, Joi jumps into my arms. We are traumatized. According to the news, there is a large possibility to have another huge earthquake within 3 days. Hurrr, so scary!! I really hope it won't happen again. I feel like I m on a ship or something. Anyway, so many people passed away and I have been watching crazy things on TV. I have a friend who lived in the area that the tsunami hit... I really really hope she is ok!!

We are thankful for all the support from overseas and we hope everything will be back to normal soon!
