Junji and I have both been at home sick this week. On Tuesday I felt awful at work, but I thought I was just over tired. I went home and had a nap, but I woke up feeling worse. About an hour later Junji came home from work saying how bad he felt. I usually [...]

It doesn’t get much better than these smiles.
Elena, the little girl in the picture above, gave this dress to Saya. She chose it herself, and I love it! She has good taste.

On Saturday we stayed at the beach all day and into the night. We had a really good time with friends. I took lots of photos throughout the day, but my favorites are these evening photos. Everyone was tired out at this point–but in a good, relaxed kind of way. We didn’t see an awesome [...]

Saya and I had the most awesome two hour nap this afternoon! I woke up feeling so good. Also, it’s friday!!–which is always the best. We celebrated with some sushi and beer after Saya went to bed, and tomorrow we get to spend the whole day at the beach! I am feeling good today.

We all went with Junji today to open the kiln that he fired over the weekend. I wanted to support Junji, of course, but I also wanted first pick of the new pots. (Saya couldn’t wait to get her hands on the pots too!) Junji was really happy with the results of the firing. I [...]

Because I am working at a kindergarten, I get to check out all of the kids’ lunches, and I am really impressed by all of the good ideas that the moms here in Japan have for cute lunch boxes. Now that Saya is coming to school with me a few days a week, I have [...]

For kids in Japan, summer is a time for festivals. They dress up in yukatas (summer kimonos), eat ice cream, catch goldfish, and play with fireworks. On Saturday we had our summer festival at school. This year Saya wore a yukata for the first time. She looked beautiful and we were so proud of her! [...]
