Happy 1st Birthday!

Here is Miss L. having a grand old time for her 1st birthday last month...we sang to her and that made her laugh quite a bit!

L's Mum Nikki is a fellow Brit. I think I have met more Brits here in Okinawa than I have in my entire time in the USA! It's great! We can natter on about chocolate and crisps and the lack of sunny weather in Okinawa (at that time) and say how much it reminds us of home! We even had to find our sun on the walls! These are wide angle shots that look great but I made them into a collage to show the activity that was going on!

and L was always on the move...seriously, I am surprised these photos aren't moving!

Non-stop with a pause here and there to contemplate the world around her!

Shine on you crazy diamond!

'cause the world, it's yours!
PS: Nikki and I almost got attacked by a crazy lady, which was rather scary at the the time but we can laugh about it now. We literally had to run into a restaurant and ask the man to tell her to go away (in Japanese!)
