Tiptoeing Through the Tulips & Singing in the Rain

It is 60 degrees today, but rainy. Maximo is not one who does well when cooped up in the house all day, so we threw on our rain boots (I love mine - I don't think I've ever owned a pair before this year), ponchos AND umbrellas (Max loves to accessorize) and we headed outside.

On Rokko Island right now there is the Tulip Festival - a 20 meter by 2 meter plot of land loaded with tulips. Max loves flowers, so we tiptoed through to smell the tulips and listen to Max yell, "Mommy, take my picture, right here with the flowers."

We had to work on the placement of the umbrella.

"Max, just move the umbrella away from your face and say 'Cheese'"...

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
