		Debbie just minutes after Hannah was born.  Thank God for safe travels and a quick and easy delivery.
		A cow moose in Alaska.  This is not the one I ran into while jogging.  I was too scared to take a picture that time.
		Another picture of the cow moose.
		Daddy, Joseph, and Samuel in the church in Casper, Wyoming.
		Joseph at the Casper, Wyoming dinosaur museum.
		Emu at Deer Lodge, Montana.
		Another emu shot.
		Just look at that face.  Could you believe she would eat a frog?  I thought so!
		The kids still talk about Grandpa and Grandma.  They'll probably live to be 400 with all the prayers they get to live long.
		Joseph hard at work practicing the piano.  We're homeschooling him in math, English, geography, music and science.
		Joseph riding a horse in Green Bluff, Washington.
		Soaking in the Saratoga, WY hotspring.  We're sitting in the water where the hotspring flows into the river.  It was as warm as a hot tub even though the air and river were cold.
		Packing luggage and kids back to Japan.  We changed planes in San Diego, but some of our checked bags went on to Mexico!
		Mercedes Dormaier became one of our kids' favorite "grandmas."  Her "leather britches" are delicious.  If you're ever in Hartline, WA, you'll have to stop by and try some.
		Joseph milking a goat in Thermopolis, Wyoming.
		Mule deer in Newcastle, WY.  They were beautiful, but if I hadn't been watching them when jogging, I could have saved myself a sprained ankle and a lot of pain.
		The kids in one of the many parks we visited while traveling.  This photo was taken in Spokane, Washington.
		Another park picture.  This is Joseph on the winding slide.  We've never seen parks like this in Japan.
		A park in American Falls, Idaho.  The park was just across the street from the church where we stayed several nights.  There was a public library across the street, which also blessed us.
		Praise God for our Plymouth Grand Voyager.  After traveling several thousand miles in a Honda Civic, this was a welcome change.
		Here's Debbie just a few days before Hannah was born.  What a trouper.  She didn't miss one service before or after the baby came.
		We all got to visit Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota for the first time.
		Joseph with his teacher, Mrs. Muchiko Zaike on the first day of school.
		Joseph on his way to school for the first time.  The kids only had to wear a suit the first day because of the entrance ceremony.  After that, they were expected to wear more comfortable clothes.
		One of the teachers pinning on Joseph's name tag.
		Practicing for the school sports festival.
		The kids did a "ninja" relay at the sports festival.  Can you find Joseph?
		The kids saw sheep for the first time in Buhl, Idaho.
		We stopped to get this picture on our drive through the Grand Tetons.  We were on our way from Idaho Falls, Idaho to Dubois, Wyoming.
		I went jogging one morning in Saratoga, Wyoming and noticed this house all decorated with tinsel.  I had to take a closer look before I discovered that it was ice.  Can you believe it was the middle of June!
		Here's another "tinsel" photo.
		This young woman recently made the decision to accept the Lord.  When we first met her, she was demon-possessed.  She is still suffering from years of abuse.
