A birthday present:




Where we go to watch the trains:

Hisashiburi

It's been a while since I've updated this. We moved to a new city, went to a conference in Kyushu, attended Kiyomi's sister's wedding, and entertained some baby-boomers from the States (who will remain unnamed).

In Kyushu:

Cherry Blossoms

We're moving in a few days, so I don't know if I'll be able to put up anything for a while--so, here are some images/clips from a cherry blossom outing we went on with O'mi's little friends (and their mothers). It started off inauspiciously:

Hitting the bench with friends:



Admiring the blossoms with mom:



Group picture:



The chaos of taking a group picture:

We're moving soon, so this is the last time O'mi attended a certain play group at a local children's center:

O'mi has gained ever more confidence while wearing the box. However, this time he makes a brief pit stop.
