Chiyo's friends visited

Hiroki was very happy to see Chiyo's friends.
Thank you for coming!

今日は来てくれてうれしかったです！
大輝もみんなに抱っこしてもらってご機嫌でした。
また遊びに来てくださいね♪

Back in Starbucks

This is the blue fleece which Chiyo bought 5 (yes , I said "5") years ago in America!! (no pressure there, Alex) and now he is finally wearing it.


The best bit about going out with Hiro is courting adoring comments from passers by. The difficult part is negotiating which of the two of us get to push the pram as we make our big entrance for the benefit of the regular customers.

Our Second Wedding Anniversary (Part II)

This is us freezing at Rockerfeller Centre in
March 2004. We stayed in New York City after
visiting Chiyo's Au Pair family in Richmond, Virginia.











Here we are in August 2005.
Spot the basketball.







We went to see Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze play solo in Kichijoji in August 2005















The 3 Bears









Our last trips to Disney Sea before Hiroki's arrival.

Our Second Wedding Anniversary (Part I)

Our Wedding in Oahu, Hawaii and Kimono photo call

We were married at the Aloha Ke Akua Chapel just near the beach














































Chiyo's Kimono, wig and make up took two hours to put on. I was so happy that for once I could pretend I was a Jedi.

Time for a change of diet

Starbucks Boy

Hiro went to Starbucks in style today: wearing the clothes from Uncle Adam and Auntie Issy and travelling there in the sling from Uncle Kazunori's mother

Hiro is 2 Months old today

and already and wearing clothes for 3 to 6-month-olds

Happy Halloween

Well,

Halloween is here and we decided to dress up: Chiyo as Darth Vader (no prizes for guessing where she got the clobber), Hiro as a Pirate and Daddy apparently as a vampire zombie but in fact much closer to some sort of office manager's cry for help in the sticky tape cupboard... pretty scary either way.

Jack O Lantern

Here's our Jack O Lantern all ready for tomorrow. Not bad for 500 Yen from Ito Yokado

welcome!!

Hello all!

Welcome to our blog. Glad you could join us.

Hiro is now 7 weeks old, Chiyo is blooming, tomorrow it is Halloween and we are loving life

This first post will be short as Hiro is lieing in my lap SCREAMING - Good practice for the Witching hour tomorrow
