“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015.” I’m rarely in photos with my kids. So this week, I asked Jason to take one of me with the kids. It was Valentine’s Day and we were eating dinner at a McDonald’s under bad lighting but it’s ok because I’m in the photo with them. It’s what matters most I think.  Read More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015.” We’ve found a new indoor play space near our home! There’s so many activities there for the girls. The nice thing about this place is that they have activities for babies and all the way up to teens. And all of this is free! I think we might end up frequenting this place quite often, especially in the summer 🙂Read More →

I often see articles and posts about baby and kid milestones. First words, first time they walk, first day of school, etc. But I think as a parent, we have milestones of our own too. First time our babies smile at us, first time we shower in peace, first time they let go of our fingers to walk alone, etc. Last week on Thursday, E and I hit a new milestone together. It was her first class field trip outside of Tokyo without Jason and me tagging along. It was my first time letting E go somewhere so far away on her own without us.Read More →

Interesting how E is more of a daddy’s girl while K is more mommy’s these days. I really enjoy and appreciate moments like these especially with the kids growing up way too fast.Read More →

Can you believe that the first month of 2015 is coming to an end already? This will feel like such a boring post for most people to read but I just want to document what our life is like right now. It may seem boring and uneventful now but years down the road when our memories are beginning to fail us, I’d like to look back and read posts like these and remember what our lives were like… This month has been a busy month as we returned from the US and had to reacclimate to life in Tokyo again. We were gone for almostRead More →

This year, I had contemplated on skipping resolutions, goals and the whole one-little-word thing. It’s been a hard few months on me with everything that had gone on with my grandmother and her death. To be honest, I was feeling a mixture of sadness, guilt and regret for not being there for her when she most needed her familyRead More →
