“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”   K really loves to eat baby puffs and has learned to eat them from a bowl. E enjoys helping her out by putting more puffs in her bowl for her. This was before K decided she wanted to turn her bowl upside down and pour the snacks out. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year! We’ve had a busy day today, one that I will share in a later post since it deserves a post of its own. But it was a day of celebration with wonderful friendsRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” This week I have separate portraits of the girls, both of them on the only couch that we own in our little living room. K’s portrait is taken during the weekday when we are home together. She’s always crawling around without pants even though it’s cold in the apartment. E’s portrait was taken on the weekend after we got home from brunch. She’s wearing a Cinderella-like dress around the apartment a lot on the weekends. These days, K is super active and interactive with us. She’s also got a lot of opinions forRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” E and K wanted to take a sister selfie while on the bus so I obliged because it kept them busy. These days, Both E and K have little patience and get really bored during our bus ride home from school. It’s only 15 minutes but sometimes it feels a lot longer especially when they decide to fight and get into a screaming match often when the bus is at a red light. It’s times like those that I wish I could drive in Tokyo. At least all the screams and crying willRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” E: Wanted a hug from Jason. K: Wants to chew on everything these days. This was taken on the 3rd of January at the Denny’s in our neighborhood. We had originally planned on having brunch at Coco’s in another part of town but there was a really bad fire that happened in Yurakucho (2 stations away) which shut down the trains for a few hours so we came here instead. We found out how bad the situation was when we got home. A building next to the train lines (one we passed byRead More →

2013. Oh, sweet 2013. You went by way too fast for us. It seems a little silly writing a lookback at 2013 when it’s already 2014 but I feel the need to give 2013 a good closure before moving on with the new year. I was originally going to write this post back at the end of December but as with everything last year, things happen and the blog gets put in the back burner. I was also spending too much time thinking about how to write this post that I finally decided “to heck with it!” and just started writing to see where itRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” Portrait 00: E and K: Early morning shenanigans on our bed. This was taken in the last week of December 2013 during our trip to California for the holidays. I’m currently debating on how I want to wrap up 2013 and update all the going-ons from most of last year. There’s so much to cover and so many ways to approach it but I haven’t quite figured out how I want to do it yet. Or if I even want to do anything too elaborate. Then, there’s also giving closure to my oneRead More →

It’s already June, eh? Time sure flies by fast especially when there’s a baby around. Wondering how everyone is coming along? Well, we’re still hanging in there. – K – These days, K is sleeping through the night (made easier by the fact that we co-sleep with her). She’s a bit fussier than when she was first born but she’s still a lot easier to calm than E ever was. It’s hard to believe that next week she will be 4 months old next week. She’s also mastering the art of tummy time and has flipped over a few times, though I’m never sure if it’sRead More →
