Big (and small) News!!!!

I'll start with the Small News.
Ava is 12 weeks!!!!
She will be '3' months tomorrow, the 21st. (she was 12 weeks on Sunday.)
She is growing so fast, and I'm lov'n it! She smiles, coo's and had her 1st laugh/giggle this week.
She has only tried to roll over a few times... maybe in the next 2 weeks?

The Big News is after waiting for what seams like forever to move into a 4 bedroom on Yokosuka Main Base.... We FINALLY got called yesterday!!!!! (an END unit... with a covered patio and Lots of Privacy!!)

The big news is we DENIED IT! After much thought, and discussion's with Ethan we could not see moving from our great neighborhood, GREAT SCHOOL and Awesome front and back yards. But, honestly it was the school that sealed the deal for us. We just love Mr. Finlay the principle. He is amazing, and i don't wanna risk loosing a good thing.

YAY.... finny thing is, we don't feel 'let down' we actually feel relieved and excited for the 2nd half of our tour.

Ethan and i spoke about it, and were on the hunt for an indoor/outdoor rug and some other things to help our next 18 months in this house more enjoyable. Kinda like, extending the indoors~outdoors. YAY!!!!!!

So.... that's the news!

Fukumon Chinese - Zushi Japan

Ok!
This is for all the IKEGO residence!
There is a Restaurant right outside the gate, with a red lantern.
Well, ... if i have been here 6 months and NOT tried it... i know a bunch of you have not too.
And Why?
Because there is no parking, and you don't know what to expect.
So, here it is...
"What to expect"..........

It's Small!
It has 2 Tatami 4 person tables, 2 Western style 6 person tables & a few 'bar' seats.
They are Friendly people... and the food is good.
There is an English Menu... w/ a Few photo's.
Portions are HUGE! Come Hungry or Share!

My Ramen was 900 Y, Kath's was 1200Y and the Gyoza, that was HUGE was 700Y.
It was A LOT of food... period!

Here is a photo tour...
Oh, and you can do takeout for Ramen, but you have to bring your own dish.
Other take-home is packed for you with their disposable containers.

As you can see, the red lantern is down, because we left @ 9... when they closed.

This is what you see when you walk in. The Bar seating area.


That is where we sat, Kath and I. With front row seats to our meal being cooked.


Kath's soup... Pork Ramen.

My Meal, Miso Ramen.
It was good, but Salty!! Need Water!

We tried to share a Gyoza.
But, we were so stuffed from the huge soup/ramen.


They also have Tatami, Japanese Traditional Seating.

Why not try Fukumon ... It's not fancy, but its very close to home, and filling!

Our visit to Ikego Housing Base

We took a military housing tour on thursday of last week. We really enjoyed the trip and the opportunity to get off base. [Even if it was to drive to another base, haha]

The class went ahead onto Negishi Housing in Yokohama and we could not go because Olivia was in school, and was getting out before we would be coming back.

So when the trip was over [to Ikego] we took the train back to the Yokosuka Base Area. When we got back to the area we went to lunch at a Japanese Restraunt and Ethan, Evan and I really enjoyed ourselfs.

These pictures uploaded backwards,... gosh! Weird! Sorry... scroll to the bottom and work your way up... haha...
