How long had you been planning this trip?
Before we had children we lived in Kamakua, Japan for a year, where John was sent to babysit a satellite sold by his company to a Japanese broadcasting company. We enjoyed living abroad so much that we decided that once we had children, and when the children were old enough, we wanted to spend a year outside of the U.S. and experience the world together.
September is standing at the entrance to a temple that's next to our apartment. She's just barely pregnant with Katrina in this picture. John is standing above the little canyon in Kamakura where we lived.
