Kids were back to school from today. Started the day with appointment at US embassy at 9am. We took a walk through Ark Hills, and stopped by at French bakery for mom's breakfast. Masaki was sleeping, and Naoya kept mom a company. 

Ton had a follow up vaccination of diphtheria and tetanus after school, which made her cry. We went to have snack afterwords, and everybody enjoyed French fries. We ate a lot today!

Babies playing at baby room in Roppongi Hills

Video of babies playing with stove, morning couch time with babies and Mo, babies playing at baby room in Roppongi Hills, Naoya trying to get down to floor, and Masaki walking.

Met up with Nolans with Ruddics in the morning, they went for breakfast, I walked babies as they were grumpy tired. They didn't sleep so went to Gorilla Coffee for early lunch. Since baby room at Roppongi Hills was empty, decided to stop by to play a bit. They got grumpy again, so put them on the stroller, fed them snacks and they fell asleep! Ana came by to say happy new year in the afternoon, kids all left for dinner and I could have quiet evening with babies.
