Welcome home!

"This is Sushi reporting live on CNN, we have great news - Daddy is home after being away for a week. It's so good to have him back!"




"While daddy and mommy play tennis, Pooh and I are going for a ride."














"Now why isn't this boat going anywhere?"


"Ahh...this is the life...enjoy the sunshine everyone!"

Surprise Visit!

"Surprise! The JAM family came for a visit! How wonderful!"

"I like spending time with my cousin. We have a lot in common. We like the same clothes and we like doing the same things!"



"Now this is what I call riding in style! Next time, Cashew can sit in front and I'll take a ride in the back."
"We surprised grandma at work! She was so shocked to see Cashew. At first, she didn't' even recognize her and she thought that I had brought my boyfriend to show her. Oh dear! Cashew is clearly a girl even though she has short hair!"



"Yahoo! We're so glad JAM family was able to spend the weekend with us. It was so fun! Glad you got home so swiftly and safely!"

P.S. We miss you Pushi!

Time to Celebrate

"We celebrated Grandpa's birthday and Mother's day by going out for dinner. Happy Birthday Grandpa! You're getting younger every year!"

"Three generations - one grandma, one mommy and me!"
"Happy Mother's day Grandma!"


"There's always a good reason to celebrate! May God bless you all!"

Fun times

"Uncle Showerhead is so much fun! Which one do I like the best? I'm not sure...there are so many to choose from."



"Ah yes. Thank you for the close up...I definitely like the one in the middle the best!"

"Just me and the boys hanging out."

"He he. I tired daddy out. I think he's sleeping...Don't tell mommy!"

Playground Fun

"This playground was so much fun! It will be even more fun when I can walk around!"
"Weee......how thrilling...the wind blowing in my face...push me faster daddy! Swing me to the moon!"
"Must get through so I can touch the rocks...."

"Is this motorcycle broken? Let's get moving!"

"See you later! Hopefully Cousin Cashew can join us next time!"

Joys of Eating

"Check out my new high chair. Grandma and grandpa got a really good deal on it. Half price half price and 15 % off! yahoo! Eating like a queen!"
"Eating is fun and everything but you know what's more fun? Chewing on the spoon!"

"For Uncle Ishi's good-bye dinner we went out. They sure had their fill of Japanese food!"
"All-you-can- eat-sushi was just too exciting! I had my hands full choosing from all the items. Unfortunately, I just didn't feel like I was able to eat enough to get my money's worth. Fortunately, Uncle Ishi did but he ended up eating too much!"
"Thank you Lord for all the yummy food that you provide for me and my family. May it nourish our bodies and give us good health and strength. Thank you for your blessings! Amen!"

Welcome to Vancouver Uncle Ishi

"Yahoo! Uncle Ishi is here on business and he has five star luxury accomodations at my house! After work, we went to hit some balls at the golf range."


"Is this supposed to be fun? I don't get this game..."
"Okay, ready....whose turn is it?"


"Aha...here comes the ball....got it....I wonder where this ball is supposed to go...."

My first Easter weekend

"I try to figure out from my crystal ball how mommy and daddy forgot the batteries for the camera. This is the ONLY photo taken from our trip to Seattle. I am glad I am in it."




"Auntie C and Uncle R looked so good. Hmm... my 6 month old instincts told me that this is a special day. I like Auntie C's white dress. It's silky and smooth."
" I like flowers... "



"Did I mention that I like flowers?"

Firsts

" My first plane ride, and I must review the escape procedure... So mommy puts on her mask before putting on mine. I am not sure if I like that..."


"My first taste of my toes. Hmm... they are bit shorter and harder to separate than my fingers"
