Happy 9th Birthday, Yuuki! 

Yuuki is Tomomi’s son and is a year older than Noelle.  Tomomi is my Japanese pen pal that I’ve had since the 5th grade, when there was no internet, and we really were pen pals!  Through the years, we’ve kept in touch, and reunited once when I was in college and Mike got to meet her too!  We’ve never met each other’s children, but I really look forward to the day that we do!
