Fun weekend!

It has been a really fun weekend which is why I haven`t had time to update. Rachel (my friend from university) came to visit from Korea where she is doing her MA. This is her fourth visit to Kagoshima so we haven`t really been doing much touristy stuff, we have just been hanging out. Joey has been enjoying having a new face around as I think after all the excitement of the UK he was getting very sick and tired of just seeing Daddy and I every day! LOL!

On Saturday night we went out for dinner with Jenn and Kristin and their husbands and baby Hiro at Pietro which was alot of fun. It is always nice to get out and about and have lots of laughs and conversations in English for a change! The restaurant was really quiet because the majority of people in Kagoshima had gone to the big fireworks festival. We decided to give it a miss this year as taking Joey into huge crowds of people didn`t sound like very much fun.

On Sunday we went shopping to buy Joey a walker. His current favourite position is standing and he can`t do it by himself yet (obviously) and it gets quite tiring holding him up all day so we decided to see if he would like one and he LOVED it so we bought one. You will notice in the picture that he is playing with the tigger button, Aunty Caroline`s boy through and through! ;-) The other exciting thing was that last night Joey rolled over ALL by himself and we all got so excited that he proceeded to do it three times!!! :-) My baby is growing up so fast!!
