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 [...]

Trying to figure out the chopstick thing… She insists on feeding herself these days.

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 [...]

I am so exhausted after this weekend, but we had some fun adventures. The rainy season is over, and it is really hot these days, so most of our outdoor activities involve water.
On Friday afternoon, Saya and I biked along the river. We met this cute little girl. She had two nets, so she let [...]

Our tadpoles have become frogs! They are such cute little guys! We caught these tadpoles right outside of our school and we have been observing their transformation. This is the first time in my life that I have watched tadpoles turn into frogs, and it has been very exciting. I am always amazed by stuff [...]

Today we walked and walked and walked. We left the house at 1:30 and returned at 6:30. It was the perfect day for it–there was no sun to tire us out. We stopped at a park, ran into some people we know, took some photos, visited a friend in the hospital, and [...]

It’s friday and we had a break from the rain this afternoon–it doesn’t get much better than that. I took out Saya’s small pool for the first time this year, and she was perfectly happy playing in the water while Junji and I just lounged in the sun. The rainy season can get [...]
