Sorry we haven't post in a while. Our computer is out of commission.
First of all, many of you know me well enough to be shocked by what I am about to reveal. Yes, it is true, hell did not freeze over, but we purchased a mini-van. Although I had sworn I would never stoop to such an endeavor, I have to admit it is AWESOME! We tried out so many different SUVs to try to find one that could fit us and the dog comfortably so that we could go on road trips and it would be easy for Kim to load two in carseats. Ultimately, we and the kids loved the Honda Odyssey.
Back to more important things. Ben went to the doctor today and in a weeks time he has gained another 13 oz. Which puts him at 8lbs 10 oz. He is doing well and as you can see growing strong. These pictures were taken today after he got back from his appointment. I was taking pictures of him when Tanner, Grace, and Eva came in giggling holding a build-a-bear football helmet. They wanted Ben to try it on and as you can see it fits him beautifully. So if you have a hard time visualizing how big he is think of a teddy bear. Kim is recovering well and looks fantastic. Tanner, Grace, and Eva are so excited for Christmas and Christmas break. They have been doing great at school. Tanner is playing the trumpet and doing a great job. He also is also working very hard on his Shakespeare play. Grace really enjoys Chinese class, Spanish class, and art. Eva has been such a sweet sister to Ben and is always so gentle (for those of you who know Eva, you know gentle is usually not in her vocabulary.) And last, but not least, Annabelle has been very gentle as well. It almost seems that she is scared of Baby Ben. We are happy to keep it that way for now.
We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and hope that you year will bring joy and peace. We know since August 13, 2008 we have not been able to visit and see many of you like we would have wanted to. Please know we miss you all and hope to see you soon.
Love,
JR, Kim, and the Ujifusa Clan.

That helmet is darling. So cute. He really is ready to play...go UTES! I know what you mean about the mini van. I said the same thing. REALLY. Those exact words. I can't believe how much I love it. Kim and I have matching minis. Funny. And you are right. She does look fantastic! Thanks for the updates! Glad you guys are doing so well!
When Ellie was born, she wore an AMerican Girl doll outfit to a 5-0"s sock-hop at the kids school--it was hilarious. Love the helmet. He is beautiful and looks like Tanner to me, what do you guys think? LIVING THE DREAM baby in the mini-van with 4 kids. We also said that and at onetime did own a mini-van until we needed something larger when Ellie was born. CONGRATS and enjoy the ride....wishing your family a very Merry CHristmas and a Happy New Year. We miss you and appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep this blog up, so that we can watch your family grow and change. Tell the kids hello, and we will call you on Christmas. You are so very blessed, and have a incredible family.....
