Finally we can use the dining room!

March 30, 2013

Trying out our new dining table too!  You can glimpse the new floor (they matched the existing floor in the kitchen), new paint, and two-story orange tree just ouside the window.

A few days before Christmas

playing the  memory  game   

Baba and Jiji, Uncle Katsuo and Auntie Kazuko visit!

Stopping to eat in San Francisco on the way back from the airport

Taking to Uncle Katsuo

Seeing the sights of San Francisco

Why yes, they are always this angelic!

The one time I wished for an 8-seater minivan!

Happy to get Daddy back!

Sophia gets the laptop bag, Thomas gets the rollaboard

Trying to elicit a smile ... and failing

Cuddling/reading time with Daddy:  the best!

Everybody happy to see Daddy

Mommy gets a cuddle too!

Welcoming Daddy back home!

Even in early August, hot laundry straight from the dryer still feels great!

Tuckered them out!

The pensive look

We love our neighborhood grocery store Trader Joe's!

Welcoming Daddy back home!

End of June hijinks

Putting on his pirate face?

Taking Daddy to the BART train to go on his trip

Playing with the bread dough

Um...?

Building towers with Mommy's old toy blocks

Back to business as usual

The aftermath of a blackberries at breakfast

Reaching new heights at the apartment playground

Things were quiet ... too quiet.  This is what I found when I investigated.  Whew!

Showing us her pretty dress

Sophia has an imaginary friend.  She holds doors open extra time and tells me that she is waiting for "Bobbi".  When I give her something to put into the garbage can, she tells me, "No I don't want to!  Bobbi do dat."   She pretends to hold Bobbi's hand or shares a snack with her. Sometimes when the kids are playing, she announces "I'm going to Bobbi's house!" and pretends to drive away. Thomas latches on quickly and plays with Bobbi too.  Once they visited her house ... which was in space!
