Here is a photo from our last day in Kochi. We were sitting in the airplane on the runway when we got a call from Joji. He told us to look at the observation deck of the airport where we could see all of our friends waving to us. It was very sweet!
And here we [...]

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 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 [...]

I haven’t posted much recently because I have been so busy. We are in the midst of a big transition in our family. After much thought and discussion Junji and I have decided to return to the States. We are moving back at the end of August. We are really busy with all of the [...]

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 [...]
