We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

More Cross Country Fun


I've really enjoyed watching Patrick run. I especially love how he's adopted the headband this year...making him much easier to pick out as green runners fly by...


And they're off! (Where's Patrick?)



Last Wednesday's meet was at a private Christian school up north. It was the first meet where they've had to do laps instead of a laid out course. On the final lap...



They had to turn into the lane of cones for the finish...



Although he still hasn't met his personal best time from last year, he did come in 4th on his team (13th overall)...which is the highest place he's come in so far.



Boys! He had to get a pic with his bloody-nosed friend. This one will make the banquet slideshow. Guaranteed.



They finish out the meet with group stretching before heading for the bus.



I was too far away to hear what they were saying, but they were being total goofballs...



It was hard not to crack up while watching these two.
