Japan & I

had to find a photograph of myself for a publication and going through my images over the last 2.5 years, these are some I came up with, but the funny part is...I couldn't find one of me "seriously professional" - with a suit and such - LOL. I think these photos show that life is beautiful and we should always be happy with where we are and who we are(especially when you are a monkey- chinese zodiac) - LOL.

Noi and Hideto studying together

I love how Hideto can help Noi, do his work, and watch baseball at the same time _ LOL~!!!

Noi in 1st Grade Fun Stuff

Noi is playing this interesting "piano" instrument at her school. I've never seen it in the USA.
Today we took these fun photos of her walking to school with children in our area.
Also one photo of a doll she made last weekend.

First Day of Elementary School

Wow~! Noi is off to elementary now..........She had the entrance ceremony today...This is the backpack she will walk to school with everyday starting tomorrow....These photos are the gym (ceremony), her classroom, her teacher, her friend/classmate, Hideto and I at our lunch party - Noi took the photo....

Noi's Ballet Performance

She is the one in the white dress (in the image with the girls in the brown dresses). It was wonderful to see her perform; youngest one in the group.
