Japan!

We made it! Here are some pictures of our travels and first few hours here:

This was our flight to California. Sterling got a little snack on the plane and he was sitting there so nicely eating it!

This is at Steve and Stacey's house (we stayed with them for 2 nights in CA.) They have a new little dog named Kobe and Sterling LOVED it. He constantly wanted to carry him around and Cade always had to help him do it right. They played together and had lots of fun for the day they were together.

Unbelievably, we have cows right behind our apartment! I honestly think it's hilarious that we moved from a farm into suburban Japan and we still live with the cows! But Luke and Sterling are very excited to be able to look out the window and see them, and Luke even took a deep breath of the stink when we walked by because it reminded him of home :)

We walked to a little shopping center with our teammate Andy this afternoon and this octopus was walking around. Sterling really liked it.

This is our bathroom...

Sterling's room (the Mickey Mouse mat is going to be what he sleeps on)...

The kitchen, which has no oven,two burners, very little storage, but a nice refrigerator...

And our bedroom, with Luke and Sterling sitting on the mat we're sleeping on.
So this is it, I know it's hard to get a good idea of what it looks like from pictures, but you get the idea :) I mentioned this in the email I sent out, but the ceilings are really low! Luke has hit his head already once in the doorframes!
