It’s been some time since I’ve posted something to this blog. I’m sure you can imagine with starting a new job, taking care of a 2 year old, and trying to please a demanding wife (just kidding honey) how busy I’ve been. I promise though, I’ll start posting more soon.
In…No Out
Preschool
Yesterday was Ayane’s first day in preschool and I can’t believe it’s that time already. My baby girl is growing fast both mentally and physically..the next thing you know she’ll be telling me she’s getting married. I’m proud of you Aya, they said you did a really good job on your first day and mommy [...]
The Fierce Lion
Your second Halloween but the first one that you actually went trick or treating. You liked being in your costume and you loved carrying around that little orange bucket for your candy (which you can’t eat by the way), but when it came to going up to each house you had a little problem. When [...]

Tech Girl

Nestle Nesquick Bunny
We took you to your first baseball game yesterday, the Oakland A’s vs the Seattle Mariners. Matsui was playing for the A’s and Ichiro was playing for the Mariners. Your mother enjoyed this experience very much and appears that you did as well. Your reactions to the game were much better than your reactions to [...]
Making Friends
Ayane, you seem to make friends so easily. In a way I’m kind of glad that your not shy like your dad; my shyness has often held me back from doing things I might have enjoyed. To this point you seem very outgoing and not afraid to interact with other people…hold onto that and never [...]
