Today we traveled from Dallas to Tokyo by way of Los Angeles. We could see this sign when we arrived last Thursday.

Today Andrew blessed Rorey Taylor Carruth at church.
She didn’t wear the bonnet but we made Leigh put it on her for a minute.
Sweet baby!
Today was also Jan’s first birthday. We celebrated with a very pink cake and presents.
Today we took Rorey to the Dallas Temple and she was sealed to Andrew and Leigh. They have quickly become such wonderful parents. We are so delighted and blessed to have Rorey in our lives.
This afternoon we all got together at Jan and Bob’s and had fun in the pool.

I often post photos that show the seasons in Arisugawa park. This is the park across the street from my apartment, an oasis in this middle of this metropolis. I cannot remember if I have posted any of summer in the park before. I don’t especially enjoy the park in the summer. Everything is green with a haze that comes from the high heat and humidity. Today I realized that the park in the summer is not so much about what can be seen, but instead it’s about the sounds. Screeching cicadas, crows cawing and the song of birds are the sounds of Arisugawa in summer. There is something about the sound of a million cicadas that just makes me hot.
A perfect thing to do in the park on a hot summer day
My plan to post daily was changed when I made a hasty decision not to take my laptop on my August trip to the US. I left on July 31 and decided just minutes before not to take my laptop. I realized that taking it would mean leaving in the car during our 10 hour visit to Schlitterbahn, not a good idea during a Texas summer. At that point it was too late to set up automatic posting like I did when I was in India in February. So today I am going to post photos for August.
Today is Luke’s Birthday! It is such wonderful blessing for us to have him as part of our family-as our son-in-law and the husband of Allyson and father to Maddie and Izzie. We love you Luke!
I woke up at 4 this morning to get ready for my 6:30 flight to LAX via Houston. I miss this girl’s cute cheeks already. All our flights were on time and after spending a few hours in the lounge at LAX we boarded our flight for Tokyo.
