It means, "So cute!"  And we here it everywhere we go.  Obviously they are talking about Ellie. This is us in front of the local shopping complex "Daiei"...I think.  See, there is Japanese writing behind us. We are in Japan.
While we were walking around the mall, we found a 100Yen shop, like a dollar store basically.  Ben got all excited; apparently he frequented them as a missionary.  This was my favorite find. Don't you want to buy this?
We are hoping to get a house soon.  We will be living off base, especially since we learned that the on base housing still has lead paint and asbestos.  No thanks.
As for housing, we want the first house we looked at (5 bedrooms! though the biggest will only fit a queen), but we are second on the list for it.  We'll see.
In the meantime, I'll keep my (angry) thoughts about military bureaucracy to myself...for now.
