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 [...]

weekend photos (a few days late)

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

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 [...]

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.

festival time

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! [...]
all by herself

Saya has been attempting to dress herself for a while now. She wants to put on her shirt by herself, but she ends up just putting it behind her head instead of over her head. But yesterday after our bath I left the room for a minute, and when I came back she was wearing [...]
Happy friday from the paddling pool!

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 [...]
Rainy season

I don’t know who determines these things, but people have been saying that the rainy season has officially begun in Kochi. I guess that means that our short spring has come to an end. It has been raining lightly today, but yesterday we had a bit of sun. We went outside for [...]
How do you like my new red boots?
Posted in Family, Kochi, Saya, tagged Saya, Kochi, Kagami River, red boots on May 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I bought these boots for Saya in preparation for the rainy season, but they are also perfect for wading in the river. I returned to my new favorite spot with Saya today. It is the perfect distance from our house to get a good workout biking there, and it’s really quiet and lovely. [...]
