Today Kana turned 20 so only one teenager left which shows us how old we're getting.

She's going out for dinner with her boyfriend tonight so we went out last night to Outback steakhouse in Umeda. We, as in Kana, Aya, Lisa and boyfriend, Setsuo and I. After the meal Aya sent the photos we'd taken to Keita and I think he was a bit miffed that he couldn't be there too. Hopefully he'll get home for one day near his birthday so we can go again.

He was home a couple of weeks ago but only from 8am - 8pm and two of those hours were spent driving there and back but he managed to eat everything he wanted to, got a couple of hours sleep and also had time to meet up with a group of his friends. He's lost about 8kg since starting the school but the coaches want him to lose another 7!! I doubt it'll be that hard for him since he'll lose it with the training rather than being on a diet.

Kana, Lisa and I will go to Spain for about 19 days at the end of July which I'm really looking forward to. Hopefully I have the tickets and passports all in order this time and there won't be a repeat of the Guam holiday that wasn't! We'll stay overnight in Manchester both on the way there and on the way back so we'll hopefully be able to meet up with my sister at least for a few days. It feels like years (and in fact it is) since the last time I've been on a holiday. The only bad thing about it is that Keita will get home for about 3 days while we're away but Aya and Setsuo will be there at least.

Other than that, it's just been the same old routine of work and baseball. I lead such an exciting life!!
