lost

luckily truly and ozzy we're at home with allens grandma and cousin when we got lost.. as after the school interview with four ladies.. to see if jonah and tad basically could sit still..( good thing it was only 20 mins.. he hee the joke is on them:) I am sure I will have some great stories to come..
but he had to rush the boys out to get a physical at the doctors office.. as we also had dinner plans with sasaki and his family... allen got lost and was getting stressed as it was raining and getting cold.. he ran us into a little shop and had us wait while he ran up and down trying to find it( instead of us running our boys legs off which we had already done..) now when I say tiny I mean TINY!!! as its probably the size of my laundry room and maybe some storage space in the back.. but anyways this cute older man.. gave the boys these little toys.. I was grateful, as I couldnt tell if he was bugged we were in his space as it was obvious that we were not buying anything, rather getting protection from the weather..
also grateful I do know how to say thanks in his language.. these japanese people better watch out.. as I am a hugger... they might just get one!!!
this is stretching us all in way I never could have imagined!! LOVING it all, truly I am.. also seeing allen as the leader in our family.. I not only now KNOW he can do it.. he is GOOD at it.. with all his travels over the years.. we have assumed our roles..
but I am useless in ways I am not use to being.. like the doctors office, when we finally found it.. it had taken so long that I had to run back to the apt to feed him..
allen gave me directions THREE times.. to make sure I would not get lost.. then he waited for the boys turn.. we are such a team.. its very neat for us to all pull together tight as a family..
