Wow there are only three hours left of 2008 and I've finally found the time to blog??!! Crazy! I really didn't mean to disappear in December but I must have been worn out from posting everyday in November. I will try to be back more regularly in 2009 but don't hold me to that.
We had a lovely day today skype-ing with friends, eating soba, visiting a local temple and soaking in an outdoor hot springs. Yes the perfect end to our first year as parents and a great year overall. 2009 is going to be a BIG year for us - exciting and scary all at the same time. Wish us luck!!
I'll be back soon to do J's 14.5 month update. He surprises us everyday with new tricks like words, walking backwards and climbing up the big kids slide and going down by himself!!!
Hope you all have a fantastic new years! I'm going to have a glass of champagne right now - cheers to you all!

Happy New Year! I hope that 2009 is a great one for the Pinku family.
(BTW - the cuteness that is Jake is killing me.)
