May 8th'09
As was planned, baby, you came on the early morning of the 28th, at 3:30 a.m and surprised me to a jumpy awakening--in more ways than one, ha! I had been waiting months for this day, but when it arrived I could hardly believe it. I embraced this dream-come-true, but half wondered if perhaps it would vanish like a dream.
I have always been one to dream--and in times past--onto which I had hung many hopes. But in recent years I had become leery of hitching my wagon to random stars. Yet, this was a dream that developed almost exactly as planned.
Now I'm sitting at my computer at a new desk in a new room that you and I have nearly finished setting up, resting with 5 boys under the age of 4 virtually at the foot of my chair. I love this life, and I can sincerely say that I couldn't have asked for more.
A lot has changed, for both of us, baby, but more for you. One thing, though. that hasn't changed is this love that I feel for you. I am so happy that you are here, and I pray that you are getting adjusted well. Much love -- Your Sweetie
This is one of the photo's taken of when Fay and I went to Food Fare. Yep, that's right, they had one here in Osaka as well. 
Here's a photo of Kenji pushing Deryk in one of the super-market carts. He has been such a good older brother to Deryk--helping him change his clothes, use the toilet, make Lego's, and ride the bicycle. I am so proud of my new son!
