Is anyone still following my blog, besides my parents and SIL Amy who told me to update? Here's an update. We just got back to Oki a few days ago and are adjusting nicely. We really didn't have any jet lag except that we go to bed by 9pm every night. No waking up in the night, though. Yeah! Let me start where I left off.
We traveled to Southern Utah and Nevada to visit some sisters and my parents. First stop was Kathryn's house where my kids once again fell in love with her kids. Brooklyn (10) was darling with Isabella acting as mother hen. Noah and Claire (8) always hit it off like two peas in a pod. It's always a blast to visit the Sorensen house!
Next we went to Natalie's house in St. George. I can't believe how much her kids have grown!! Jack is a full on toddler and Ella is so grown up. So cute. We met up with them later on and went to Disneyland together. More about that later.
I can't believe I spent over a month living with Jane and close to Marianne and didn't get any pics of their kids! What was I thinking? So I don't have any to show of adorable Maddie or the babies, Ethan and Christian. You guys will have to send some. I think Maddie was a little overwhelmed with my 3 monsters taking over her house, but they all had fun. It was so rewarding being around the newborns. It got me excited for my munchkin to arrive in less than 2 months! We've decided to name her Kate as it's the only name we've come up with. We wanted to name her a Japanese middle name to honor the fact she'll be born here, but we can't find one we like. Any suggestions? At any rate, we had a fabulous time with our cousins in UT.

Ella and Issy share a birthday (June 1st) exactly one year apart.
Can you believe I went for Japanese THREE times while in the States? Here we are at the steak house in Cedar City. Everyone is giving us their best ninja pose.

I can believe it...eating the foreign cuisine is one of the most convenient ways to share your "Japanese" experiences with others who cannot come to visit! :o) But, it doesn't taste the same here in America, does it?!
YES I AM STILL FOLLOWING YOUR BLOG-- I was beginning to wonder if you abandoned your blog because you were having so much fun in the states. I love the name Kate-- plus it's cute with Kiser.
Sounds like you had a fun time. I am impressed that you aren't suffering much from jet lag. I feel like I have jet lag, and I haven't been anywhere!
I still follow your blog! Hope that's ok!! ;)
I love your blog too - we miss all you fun Kisers! Looks like you guys had a blast! Good luck with your new little one in a few months! Kate is an adorable name!
Yeah I'm glad you did an update!!! I love reading about everyone elses lives, its like i'm liveing through them by reading their blogs :) brooklyn and claire are so cute with your kids. I love all our neices and nephews!
Also I feel like such a Trend setter because your going to name your litte girl Kate Just like Scott and I are Naming our little girl. Our little Kate Helen and your little Kate will hopefully best friends!! they could be an unstopable force:)
So for a middle name... I would say Mali it means Beautiful and Powerful. You pronounce it May-Lee. It is Chinese not Japanese but Kate Mali Kiser is pretty dang cute.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy I can't believe your almost done! can't wait for more updates!!
Love, Amy
