Surprise

Well, it has been three months exactly so I thought I'd spread the word to any friends and family that read this blog that I am pregnant.

All is well. Josh and I are very excited and Ronan seems to enjoy telling people he is going to be a big brother.

No idea what the sex is at this time. Hope to find out next month.

Cheers from the Perrys (+1)

Wednesday February 13th was Josh's 36th birthday. Ronan and I met up with him at The New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo and had a nice dinner. Our friend Rick Cook was able to join us too. Captain Cook was Josh's commander when he was with NMCB 5 in Port Hueneme, California. It was nice to catch up with him.

Thursday was Valentine's Day AND Cindy Ludwig's birthday--Happy Belated Birthday Cindy!

On the 14th, Josh and I took Ronan to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.
It was chilly but sunny and most of the animals were out and awake.
Ronan says his favorite thing to see was the tigers.

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. Cheers--Kristin

My Super Hero

Here are two adorable photos taken of Ronan when he had Josh tie his Thomas blanket around his neck so he could be a super hero. He has watched Underdog a gazillion times. The other night he even responded "Underdog" when Josh's new boss asked him, "What is your name?" Gotta love 3 year-olds. I Will post again after Josh's birthday.

Cheers--Kristin

Happy Birthday to me!

Another year has come and gone for me. February 2nd marked mine and Tweety Bird's birthdays. My mom reminded me in the card she sent that I used to think Tweety Bird and I shared a birthday. I have no idea if there is documenation to support this theory but when I was little, it was the truth. I do believe Feb. 2nd is Farah Fawcett's birthday for real though.

The Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Honorable BJ Penn, and the Chief Admiral of the Civil Engineer Corps, RADM Greg Shear, attended my birthday party along with other Admirals and various Captains stationed at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. If you believe this, of course, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you for a bargain. Seriously, Josh and I attended a social function in honor of RADM Shear and Honorable Penn's visit to the Far East. I am sure they had no idea it was my 38th birthday.

After the military social, a few of us went out to participate in Japan's favorite social past time (other than baseball)......KARAOKE! It was a lot of fun. The Japanese do Karaoke the right way. You rent a private room sized accordingly with the number of participants. You sit around and sing all your favorites, order food and drink via telephone AND you get free sodas, tea and ice cream. It was great. Until I get their permission, I won't post the photos of those who got super into their songs and sang and danced in front of the room. I want to thank Aaron and Katsura for putting it all together.

Happy birthday to my niece Hayley on the 10th, my brother Rourke on the 11th and my hubby Josh on the 13th. Josh will be in Tokyo this week attending a conference. He is staying at the New Sanno Hotel, which is a nice place to stay if you are employed by the Government. Ronan and I will go up either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and spend the evening with Josh on his birthday.

Love to all our friends and family stateside and other parts of this world. Cheers---Kristin
