A couple of funny videos

These are getting backed up on my phone, but are pretty funny - if you like that sort of thing!

Happy 30th Birthday Hesty!

To the best mum, wife and friend a guy could ask for.

This photo is one that has always been on Hesty's parents' wall and I have loved. It's her fifth birthday. Mas Bowo found the original and scanned it, sent it to Hesty and I nicked it from her computer. When it is Anya's fifth birthday we'll set her up in the same pose!

EDIT: 
A lot of kids are out of school at the moment for APAC trips (band, drama and so on). One of my Science classes only had four kids, so we nipped over to the house to put together Hesty's birthday garden box:

A fun way to surprise Mrs T and start thinking about environmental science.

Birthday dinner at Nanak's Indian restaurant on the island.

This is the kids' set!

And then Happy Birthday with an Anya-made chocolate bun:

A day out at Osaka Aquarium

This was a lot of fun. Last week we had a Monday off. It was raining and we trekked across town (2 trains and bus) to Osaka Aquarium. The kids were great and Sam is at a good age for looking at animals!

Here's a video:

Sunday Sam Snaps Weeks 48 & 49!

Another hectic fortnight. It's Wednesday already and here I am posting photos that were taken on the right day but not uploaded.

Week 48 at Osaka Aquarium

Week 49 at school

 A lot has been going on in the last couple of weeks. He's chatting away, standing solidly and has started playschool! He loves going for a half day each day and is always smiling at home.

Here's a funny note from his teacher:

Hesty's asked them to write in Hiragana now, so she can practice Japanese. She's having lessons, you know!
