Our friends Linnea, Bill and their children Max and Lily just visited us from Seattle, Washington. Having them here was just like being at home. In fact, it made me a little homesick for the Pacific Northwest.
Mia and Max got along perfectly and were great partners in crime.
One of our favorite memories was seeing a ninja show at a local amusement park. Mia and Max got their pictures taken with the ninja cast. Max was even brought up on stage to receive prizes for winning a paper, rock, and scissors contest. He was totally unfazed by being on stage and spoken to only in Japanese...what a cool kid.
It only seemed fitting for me to suit them up in ninja clothes. Once in character, the ninjas went wild...
Just for the record, Mia and Max were dressed as ninjas and not young Al-Queda devotees...I promise!
They even tried to indoctrinate the wee ones, Rhett and Lily.
But Rhett was more interested in eating a sweet rice cracker the size of his head...
The next morning, Mia and Max woke up at 5:30am to don their new duds again. They put on ninja shows for anyone awake, namely me.
Max was a powerful, sword dueling ninja...
Mia channeled the gymnastic aspect of the ninja ways...
To the Mahoney-Schaffers...we love you and miss you dearly!

Just too cute. The Baby Ninjas are ready for YouTube. What fun.
Best post ever.
I agree with Kris. That was the best post ever. It made me miss you guys so much. Would you have space for me to visit in the Spring of 09? Hugs and kisses
Nice camera work on the Baby Ninjas, ATM. Move over, Tarantino (not to be confused with Tarrant). Lots of fun.
Just because I said it was the best post ever doesn't mean that I'm not ready for another one! Kris
More Ninjas please! (Ha! I see that my wife already beat me to the "time to post again" comment.)
Hey Tiffany and Aaron. Love the blog. I will be in Tokyo in October, would love to see you guys, but I don't have your email! Email me at bikemikey31 on yahoo. Mike (from Nantes, Montlucon, and Minnesota!)
