June 12, 2009...RJ turns 6...several times last week!

I can't believe RJ is now 6 years old...I know the cliche is "time flies, enjoy them while you can", but man, 6 years have come and gone like a blink of an eye.

Thanks to some great friends afar, this is what RJ woke up to on his birthday.


A new helmet for his scooter and bike rides

an awesome package from Kimi (and her mom and dad) in Japan. She sent him toe socks, underoos and lots of Japanese candies and snacks.

a fabulous package from Miho with a set of Shinkansin colored pencils and a date book.

This is a thank you message from RJ to his friends in Japan whom we all miss dearly!

More posts to come with the rest of the birthday festivities.
