Friends in transit

Elijah was very friendly with the other little kids at the playroom in Narita airport. They seemed to be able to communicate despite speaking different languages!

The coldest playtime EVER!

It was so incredibly freezing cold this day but we just had to have one last play in the snow before heading back to Australia!

Grandma and Elijah, with freezing foreheads and noses!

Saying hello to Patches (don't know how he survives without a snow suit on!)

Big Dev and little Dev

This is Devery Christ, our little Devery's namesake. It was so fun for them to meet for the first time. We don't know anyone else in the world who shares their special name!

This is Devery and Ryan's daughter Kamryn. She is a distant cousin of Elijah and Deverys.

Catching up with the Watsons

We had the opportunity to catch up with the lovely Watson family (one of my host families in 99)

Elijah was so taken with Chuck!
