Hi:)
I'm sorry first to reply now...My trip home went well and as planned but I were really tired when I finally came home. It has been great to get the chance to meet your family and I think it's a good experience to live with an actual family instead of just staying in a hotel and only meet other tourists.
Dina has all the pictures but there will def. be some you would like to see!
I fell a little sorry for not having the chance to say goodbye to Ava.Give her a hug from me!

Hi Ms. Lawson :) Things have been so busy since we came back, especially with school - there is definitely a lot of catching up to do.. thank you for your mail :) this trip has been one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and your family definitely contributed to that.. I am really happy we got to stay with you, even though we know it was a hectic period.. especially with beautiful Autumn being born.. but it was a great experience for me and the feeling you get by staying with a family in comparison to staying at a random hotel, is priceless.. I'm sorry we didn't get to spend much time with you, but there is just so much to see in LA and I am sure we have lots of exploring to do still.. along with that, I'm sure you needed the privacy of us being away so much, as well :) it is three o'clock and I am still working on an essay, though I have to get ready for school in three hours.. so I will most definitely send you some pictures tomorrow or during the weekend :) Thank you again for everything and for having us.. especially for also making room for Pernille.. the experience would not at all have been the same without her and I'm really grateful that we got to see everything we did, together.. Please say hi to everyone.. and give Ava a big kiss.. I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.. you really have the most beautiful and adorable kids, and I'm happy I got to meet you all.. I am sure I will be back in LA and I hope it will be okay for me to stop by at the time and say hi and see how they all have grown :) By the way, I only slept 20 minutes yesterday just to see the election live.. I am soooooooooo happy and I am sure LA is rocking right now, it's so sad that we didn't get to experience it while being in the US.. But CONGRATULATIONS :) Dina

We are glad you made it home safely. We miss you here. Ahmad said, "Hi" and Aminah said, "Hello". It is very hot here now. I know that it is hot in Japan too. Is it very humid? Jet lag is the worst take each night slowly, and you will fall asleep. Tell your mother we said, "Hello".

Aminah and Ahmad are doing good. We will set up a blog for them. Chemistry is very hard, but remember you are very smart and you can conquer this class. Good luck in this class. I will have the kids write you on their blog. I will create it today...
Have a great day!!!!!!!!

Anura,
I believe that Leandro already told you... Junko Watanabe would like to extend for 2 more weeks.
Instead of leaving on 05/03, she will stay until 05/17.
Please let me know if there is any problem with this.
Thanks!
