Just the facts this time, I promise. Monday – Leah and Jake stayed at home with Aunt Karen and played with the Kinman kids. Why you may ask were the Kinman kids at the Aunt Karen’s house?

On Sunday evening after church, DJ, one the members at George King’s church named Ritsuko K., Jenelle and I went to the festival in Takatsuki. There were so many people at the festival.
