Tommy Turns 5

Tommy turned 5 last week. We celebrated his birthday on the weekend as Terry was on an overseas business trip on Tommy's birthday and arrived home about dinner time on that day.

Tommy has been asking for a bicycle as he really missed the bike he had back in Portland. So, we decided to splurge and get him one. It's a fairly basic one, costing $150 with a kickstand and police registration added.

Tommy has also fallen for the kids’ beetle arcade game and trading cards they have here. Mio found a small air hockey game featuring the beetles. Big brother Michael also loves the beetle craze here and was more than happy to help Tommy play the game.
