Japan

Justin and I safely arrived home from Japan on Tuesday November 10th. We were fortunate enough to spend a little over a week traveling and had an amazing time taking in the culture, eating the yummy food and taking the trains and subways all around the Tokyo area. While we had been hoping to travel to Japan for the past 2 years after two of our friends moved there the timing never lined up. Finding out I was expecting a baby and that our friends were going to move back to New York from Japan in the next year made us finally get out act together. We ended up booking our tickets and flying away 2 weeks later. Talk about a last minute trip 3 1/2 months pregnant halfway around the world. Good thing we have our passports up to date. Even better we have AMAZING friends that offered to watch Cole while we were away. Thanks again Holly and Tay!!

Eating lunch - Udon and Soba noodles in Nikko. Justin was a little too big for the tables.

Many more Japan photo's to come!

Mid May

A new baby Albrecht is well on the way! Scheduled to arrive sometime mid May. I am 14 weeks and counting, feeling SO much better and can't wait to find out what this baby is going to be.

Cole is still in shock over being told he was going to be a big brother.
