Okinawa Japan and All The Little Cuties

After flying from Rome to Narita, I caught a flight from Narita to Okinawa ANA. The flight was uneventful. Just chatted a little with the young Marine next to me who was coming back from his home in Louisiana on a leave.

The day after I arrived was Easter. Steph and I awoke extra early to hide the chocolate and candy I had brought the little cuties so that they could have an Easter egg hunt.

On the center of the table with an orange bow is the Lamb cake I brought from Germany. I literally dragged that thing across the world and back to get it to them.

And it was worth it, those girls just DIED over it. On the left is Olivia, 4 years old. On the right is Breanna, just barely 3.

Below is little Caden at the park later on in the week. This was something we did regularly.

Below is Ethan (1.5 years old). He was always suprising me by climbing on tables or pushing over plants or jumping on me when I thought he was doing something else. This kid is FAST. He really knows how to get around.

This is Breanna wearing her "Ballerina" clothes. She is wearing them in a lot of pictures because it was her favorite outfit there. While I was there, Olivia was always the princess and Breanna a ballerina.

Which is funny, since below is Olivia who actually really was a ballerina. Here she is at her recital as a Sprite in Into The Woods.

Of course Breanna is wearing her "ballerina" outfit. . . and Ethan is running off somewhere to get into trouble, I'm sure.

Below is Steph, Breanna, and Ethan on a special walk for military children at Olivia's pre-school.

Below is my cute Olivia.

I quit taking pictures after awhile but at the end of the month, I managed to snap a few shots at the Beach. Below is Ethan surrounded by Japanese children. They played with him the whole time we were there.

After the month was over, I had to leave and go back to work. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
