“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” These two kids are just so sweet. Jason had just gotten home and we were talking about something when we realized the kids were being really quiet. We looked over and saw them together like that and I just had to get a photo. 🙂 This month has been crazy so far. It’s the last month before the older kids leave for elementary school in April so the school tries to cram a whole bunch of activity before they leave. E’s school is an international school and follows the standard September to JuneRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” Despite the 4 year age gap, there are times when both E and K play well together. Especially now that K is older, more mobile, and less fragile, you’ll often find these two monkeys wrestling with one another playfully. Today is Hina Matsuri, or Girls’ Day, in Japan. Traditionally, people put out these beautiful doll sets for display and prepare pretty looking food to celebrate this day. We don’t own any of the dolls since they are expensive and I find them a little creepy (well all dolls tend to creep me out).Read More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” K really loves it when E plays with her and showers her with attention. Sometimes, they would be off on our bed playing and talking with each other, which I find really adorable. I just hope they continue having a close relationship while growing up.  These past two weeks have been busy. I’m not sure why I’m always so busy but time slips by so fast that I never really know where it all goes. I’m pretty sure having the girls’ birthdays being only 2 weeks apart help complicate things a tad bitRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” We are not morning people and our kids have followed in our footsteps. E and K woke up a little early on Saturday and were still in a zombie state while watching morning cartoons and having a morning snack as Jason and I got ready for the day.   I realized that I am behind by a week on this project. There really isn’t any schedule or anything but being off a week throws me off when I have to go through my photos. Hopefully this will get me back on track. AnotherRead More →

It’s hard to believe that a whole year has come and gone and that Kaylie turns 1 today. One year ago today, this little bundle of madness made her debut into our little family. She fit right into the family without too much drama. It helped that we knew how to care for a baby this time. Plus Kaylie was an easier baby than Ellie. Well, they were different but it was to be expected. I feel like the year with her went by much faster than with E. I think K even hit her milestones a lot earlier than E did, though K didn’tRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” Last weekend, we had a fantastic snowstorm in Tokyo. We played outside for a while but ultimately, it was too cold for us so we went back home. The kids still wanted to play with snow, so Jason scooped up buckets of snow from outside and dumped it into our bathroom for them to enjoy. They were having too much fun throwing snow at the walls and ceiling. Ah, the fun of snow in the comforts of home.  This week has been a busy week. Mostly because E had no school half theRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” K is quite the climber these days but she isn’t completely fearless and would start crying the minute she realized she’s stuck. E was feeling a bit under the weather but didn’t want to rest in her room so she slept out on the couch. Last week, both K and E had tummy problems. E threw up at school and had to come home early. We had her stay home the next day to rest and she was ready to go back on Wednesday. We’re not sure what caused her to throw upRead More →
