This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

This was both an exciting year and a difficult year for us. We were happy to
welcome our third son into the world. This was by far the best news of the year.
We were lucky all of us were able to be there for his birth. There was a window
of only a couple of weeks during the pandemic where kids were allowed in and we
were fortunate he was born during that time. Much of the year was spent in
isolation with the exception of a few small parties at the house with friends
and occasionally meeting friends at our farms. We stayed away from the public
beaches and most of the island events were cancelled. We spent most of this year
finally getting control of our farms and finishing off a bunch of house
projects. Then in August I could not walk for a few days. Although not
confirmed, I now have most of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
