The girls celebrated their aging up birthday last month and it was such a great accomplishment for Akira and me. They are such beautiful children and each has such a unique personality.
Zoey decided to cut her hair and the once clingy girl has become pretty outgoing these days and is into sports and is pretty creative and has joined her brothers passion for the arts. Though we are trying encourage her to be better about her school projects as she tends to rush through them producing sloppy work.
Noel, ever the independent girl has declared she is going into business investments when she grows up. She is very good with numbers and very self-assured. She breezes through her homework now that she has got the handle of her lessons. We often find the girls sitting together on our bed studying after school. Noel is practical and her sister idolizes her, so they get their homework done right away. Hard to believe Zoey is the older sister by 5 minutes.
We are so close to moving into the new house, I only have one more perfect plant for my garden. It has been busy teaching the kids to fish and spending a lot of time in the garden. I hope that they will teach their children to love and keep up the garden and so on. We spend a lot of time outdoors as the kids just love the outdoors like me. Akira is really good at the grill and hopes to master cooking everything on it. More power to him!
