Takumi is Back!

Our Japanese neighbor and her adorable three children are back from Japan, including Daniel's first friend, Takumi, who is about 6 weeks older than Daniel. We are excited that they are back and were really looking forward to continue getting Takumi's outgrown clothes, which we had gratefully received during the first 2 months of Daniel's life.

BUT....we were all amazed to realize that Daniel is now bigger than Takumi!!! So no more hand-me-downs from him... In fact, we talked about passing on Daniel's clothes on to Takumi! Luckily, our friends Dirck and Rochelle gave us lots of their son's clothes recently and I discovered that we have a fantastic Salvation Army Thrift Store close to our house - I was able to stock Daniel up for the winter for about $20! And yes, Takumi, we'll happily pass those on to you soon!

Daniel and Takumi questioning: "Are you sure this is that old friend of mine?"

Daniel explaining to Takumi..."Yes, my friend, I started to eat a lot while you were away and well, you see, we just eat a lot less fish over here..."

Here is the proof: Daniel at 2 months just a few days before Takumi left for Japan...
