July in Hawaii

We arrived stateside just in time for July 4th! We enjoyed the Honolulu fireworks from our temporary home.

The very last visit to Tokyo Disneyland

A day before our departure, Lauren and I hijacked the kids one last time and took them to Disney. I got misty during the light parade. All the kids were sooo happy. We still managed to be the loudest people in the park.

The pack out

It amazes me how quickly movers can condense our belongings into crates. This is move #6 for us as a family. I think this might be move #10 for Terry. Liam is on house #5 and Alexis is on house #3. Through it all, they are very happy but I really wonder how this will shape their outlook on life.

Our long goodbye

We had dinner with the friends we left behind in Japan.

Saying goodbye

Last day of preschool

Alexis received her certificate on her last day. The entire class celebrated with cake and ice cream....the frosting was blue..

The Celebration continues....

The family birthday celebration was at Chili's!! This was Alexis' request...She wanted the staff to sing their birthday song.

Alexis 4th Birthday

Yes, we finally had a McDonald's birthday party. It was a very pink, wild affair.

Where we left off....

Let's see...I left off at Alex' 4th Birthday. Poor girl. The moving cycle we are on is putting her birthday celebration right in the middle of moves. I will attempt to go forward with pictures from June.

I made the princess a strawberry castle cake for her big day. She had fun licking off the icing at her school celebration.
