Friends

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 [...]

feeling good

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.

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!  [...]

Wednesday’s are one of my most free days of the week.  Saya and I go to school until noon, and then we are free for the rest of the day.  We often meet friends on Wednesdays, but today we had no plans, and I was having a hard time thinking of things that Saya and [...]
