Ahh Autumn is officially here. It's rainy, cloudy, cool, wonderful weather. I so love autumn. It just feels right. I love the rain and the sound that puddles on the road make when cars drive through them. It's lovely. My dad and step mom are arriving this weekend. Possibly tonight or tomorrow night! I can't wait. This will be their first time seeing Miss Fumi-Kitty and the 3rd time they've seen Sascha. They have a lot of catching up to do in three days. :) They are doing "Christmas" when they come up, since we haven't been able to spend a Christmas with them yet. They're getting us a freezer for the garage, and a new washing machine since Kai broke ours(I'll tell that story later), $200 for groceries/meat/fish for the freezer, as well as shopping for Sascha/Fumiko and they're bringing up two smoked turkeys. lol We're going to take them to the pumpkin patch with us and to Sushi & Maki. They want to take a day and treat us to our favourite restaurants. :) They also want me to cook our "normal" stuff for them. They can't wait to try my miso soup! I don't think it will be filling enough for them given the way they normally eat, so I'm going to make tonkatsu, miso soup and my ginger dressing/salad for them. That should hopefully be filling. They're meat & potato peoples.

Oh they're also bringing up their old giant screen tv, and a motorized scooter for Sascha and Kai. So Sascha is super excited. He's already thinking of what he wants when they take him shopping. He keeps bringing up the commercial about the remote control helicopters, so I'm thinking he's gonna try to wrangle one out of them. :) Oh Sascha also lost his second tooth! He's losing them fast now, and they're coming in just as fast. :) I'll have to take a picture. I have so many photos to resize and upload. Ahh.
