I decided not to take the JLPT4 this fall; it was adding extra stress that I don’t really need right now as I’m still getting over being sick. I want to enjoy learning Japanese so I can talk with my friends over there, not make it another stressful job!

Am I giving up on Japanese? No! I’m making steady progress in the book Remembering The Kanji, and hope to finish it soon. I decided that the method I’m using to learn Japanese isn’t quite compatible with the JLPT format, so I will wait until next year when I have much more Japanese under my belt.

Peanut was sick earlier this week, but she is doing better. We are hoping she will be 100% better by this weekend, because she turns TWO YEARS OLD tomorrow! Yes, we will have a two-year-old on our hands! She’s our little angel:

Pookies started school this week, and she has a wonderful teacher. I think that this year is really going to be good for her. (I was going to post a picture of her here, but I realized that I have been delinquent in posting pictures…need to get to that sometime!)
