Life at 247-1

Hi, all! This is Wataru. Jane has not updated this blog since the end of 2009. In order to motivate her to start posting again, I have changed the page skin as well as adding a function of photo enlargement. I hope she gets motivated again to update this blog.

I am posting two photos from the New Year's Day 2010, even though the year is half over now. Oh, well, take it easy and let's get started again!

We had Jane's family over here to spend Christmas and the New Year's day together! (Click to enlarge the photos!)

We don't get too many sunny days now but today we were blessed with warm sunshine and Sophie enjoyed the outdoors, picking up pebbles and running here and there.

Time flies and our little angel is not that little anymore. Here are some recent pictures of her, she can climb up onto her brother's chair and make herself at home with her cheeky smile!

We were invited to a nice buffet lunch with Nao-kun and his family. A 40 minute drive from home up in the mountains, the view was spectacular.

It's that time of year already and we were quite early in putting up our tree this year, infact it was a lot quicker in setting up than in previous years, probably because I had 3 little helpers this time!

Markie's special day to celebrate his 5th year began with baaba dressing him in the special kimono, a valuable antique handed down from jiiji's generation.

Sophie just loves the 2 little teddy bears that she has, one a gift from Baaba and the other from Goong Goong!

Sophie found a very comfortable spot in the warm sunlight by the window, I was actually sunning my futon by the window before she decided to sit there...

Today was a special games day at Jamie's school, the kids set up different games in the classrooms and parents and family were invited to join in. Jamie's game was bowling with empty drink cans. Sophie was very excited to see her 'nii-nii' (big brother) at school, I think she felt like one of the big kids.
