Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful quiet little Christmas with just the three of us.
Although Kai still doesn't understand the holiday he really seemed to enjoy his new toys. Thank you to all of you who gifted him with such fun and adorable presents!


The push cart was his absolute favorite. In true Kai fashion
he handles it like a little maniac and loves to be taken for a ride.



He throws everything into that little thing: Mimi included.

See you next year!

Autumn Roundup

As winter is fast approaching thought I'd catch everyone up on some of my favorite moments from our travels this Autumn.

Having a deep moment with his papa.


and a not so deep moment.

Kai is completely passed out on my back. I love that
this kid can sleep just about anywhere.

Happy Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving didn't exactly go as I had originally intended. Since we couldn't find an organic turkey and chicken just felt like an impostor, we opted for fish. We woke up extra early and went to the largest fish market in Tokyo. We made a beautiful meal but unfortunately, I some how deleted the pictures of the final product- how I do these things is still a mystery.

A sleepy baby.
