I was just thinking…my kids rock. Remind me that next time I’m getting down on them.

Last night when we sat down to dinner of traditional American hamburgers like Yuki requested, we were all about to eat when I noticed Yuki looking around, a bit unsure. I started to tell him it was fine to eat when Zach folded his hands “namaste-style” and blurted out something in Japanese, to which Yuki responded with the same gesture and words and happily commenced eating. I looked at Zach, I’m sure with an expression of shock and awe, and he said, “That’s what they say before meals.”

Olivia has been the perfect hostess. For once I think Zach appreciates his little sister tagging along and following them everywhere. She seems to know how to lighten things up when it gets awkward.

All right. That’s all I wanted to say. Now I’m off to do my hostessing duties at the outdoor amusement center in 100-degree heat. Sounds like fun.
