We are having a 3 day weekend this weekend (Yeah!) because there was a holiday this week in Japan (I'm still not sure what holiday it was). So Thurs. night Tony and Andy came over and we ate dinner and just hung out together. This picture is Tony and Sterling watching some kind of Japanese Ninja movie together-- you can tell that they were both very into it :)
Then yesterday Jay, Caitlin, Tony, Andy, us and a girl from school named Cara (from England) went to Nagoya on the train. The first place we stopped was starbucks so that we could all meet up because we went on different trains (and so that we could get some much needed caffeine since Sterling had woken up at 5 that morning!)
Sterling fell asleep soon after we arrived at Starbucks (after he had finished his cookie and milk, of course) and so I took this picture of him sleeping on Luke's shoulder amidst all the hustle and bustle of getting on a subway to go to a different part of the city. He slept right through it!
Later when we were on our way home from Nagoya we got back on a regular train and there were tons of people so Jay had to stand- and Sterling really wanted to stand like a big guy and hold onto the handle too!
Unfortunately, we took the wrong train...So yes, we've already experienced making a big mistake and having to get off at a random stop, try and figure out which train to get on next-- but luckily a nice Japanese man who spoke a tiny bit of English pointed us in the right direction.
And these are Sterling's new boots. He begs every day to wear his boots so I got him these little "cowboy" boots. They are pretty cute. He has his feet up on the back of the seat on the train in this picture, which I'm sure is culturally insensitive, but after that long of a day, we were just glad he was still happy!

I didn't know you guys got on a wrong train! That stinks, you should have called andy's phone and asked. Glad you made it back fine though!
Love your hat!! :)
Oh my gosh! From that one picture that subway looks so much cleaner and nicer than the ones here in NYC. I was always getting on the wrong train or going in the wrong direction....it took me almost a year to get them all down pat!
Good pictures. Sounds like you guys are doing better! I'll have a football video up soon - now we're on a baketball kick - lying down and shooting in the air! Boys; right?!
