Tomorrow night we will be in Tokyo, and the night after that we will be in Pittsburgh. We have been super busy this past week as I’m sure you can imagine. All week I have been saying that we are almost done packing, but all the little things we have to do just seem endless. [...]

happy baby (I can still call her my baby right?)
Our first rest stop on the way to our campsite. We stopped as soon as we saw the sign that said ocean park. We found these tide pools that were perfect for an early morning swim. They were filled with all kinds of cute little fish.
Rest [...]
We love pottery!

What’s this?

I didn’t know at first either, but it is a little glass toy that someone gave to Saya. When you blow into the tube at the top it makes really good popping sounds. It’s the prettiest little thing, but very delicate. I think I’ll put this one away until she’s a little bit older.

…before I pack up my sewing machine.
It’s a linen skirt for fall. It’s really long! Is it too long?? (We found her hat from last winter while we were packing. I think it makes the outfit.)
It’s a packing disaster…

The huge dancing festival in Kochi this past weekend seemed like the perfect chance to take some photos. Junji and I both tried, but it was more difficult than we thought it would be to get a good shot. We had fun though. This is my favorite. (more on flickr)

We spent the day at the beach with some friends who have a little boy the same age as Saya. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the two of them. They are such a perfect match. It is amazing how similar their behavior is. They were doing everything together all day. For a while they [...]

We had a lovely weekend as usual, but this week has been a rough one for us–we are just swamped with work and a big translation project that we have to finish. (Plus all of the moving stuff that we have to think about.) Junji and I have divided up some of the moving tasks [...]
run, saya, run
Posted in Saya, tagged one-year-old, Saya on August 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Saya can really run now, and I swear it is the cutest thing that I have ever seen her do–maybe the cutest thing that I have seen ever. The pictures can’t really do it justice, but the joy on her face and the way her arms really get going…it warms my heart. I can’t stop [...]
