Keenan celebrates his 3rd birthday in Japan

Yes, it's true, our little boy is no longer quite so little. He was so proud about having turned three. Sophia helped out by announcing to anyone who we happen to pass that it was Keenan's birthday. Of course, most folks didn't speak English, but they smiled all the same and it seemed to make both kids happy.

For the past three weeks, Keenan has been diligently working on being able to hold up only three fingers to illustrate his age. He even practiced before going to sleep at night which I observed as I watched him on his video monitor, he showed great concentration.

I had brought cupcakes and they survived the journey so we were able have a celebration with all the fixings. Most importantly, we were able to celebrate with Daddy (at least until he had to fly to Hawaii that evening).
