Life in Japan so far

Things are great here, really great I am so in love with Japan. All of the "gadgets", even just the basic basic living style. It reminds me a lot of being in the Netherlands. Japan feels comfortable and safe; I truly have enjoyed every minute being here. I think people wonder how difficult it is here, and I would have to say the hardest thing lately has just been being a mom. I miss having other moms I could share my difficulties with, and although my mom friends are just a skype call away sometimes you just need a hug ... Kora is getting 2 more teeth which will be a total of 8 teeth (6 on top and 2 on the bottom) ... She is active and very stubborn (just like her parents) ...She wants to walk but can't, She wants to stand but can't. She also gets frustrated when she can not eat what we are eating, for example: this morning she lunged at my peanut butter sandwich which then quickly turned into her whole face covered in hives ... (we are pretty sure she is allergic to nuts ...) Sometimes I just want a break, and lately breaks are hard to come by. When you do not have anyone you personally know or necessarily trust with your child, handing over part of your soul to a stranger does not sound appeasing ... Jet lag for her has been a bit challenging. She has done well for the most part but she still gets really cranky around 5-6pm and wants to sleep. Overall just the whole parenting thing is hard ... because of course being a parent is difficult but it is especially difficult with all of the change.

If you are not friends with me on Facebook or do not follow me on instagram you can add me and see some of the "Interesting" videos of our house and some basic things here in Japan.The short quick things are easier to post on there then on blogger during the week. I will do my best to keep up with the updates! 

With the internet here my posts automatically come up in Japanese its weird (it might be because of my auto translate thing) but sometimes the sentences get a bit mixed up or punctuation is weird (so I apologize in advance)

Update: things with our house purchase back in the states has been a bit crazy the last few days, but yes we are still buying our house! So another post about that later :D
