The Gap?

If I'm not mistaken, this is the Gap store near Kyoto station. I guess Hiromi is teaching Nia how to...shop?

Careful with that credit card, lady.

Nia "Reinhold Messner" Moneyhun

This is in a park near Kyoto Station, central Kyoto. Hiromi reports that it was really hot that day.

Teacher's Pet

I'm pretty sure this is Nia's teacher. Nia makes friends everywhere she goes.

A Little Light Reading

Here' s Nia with her Aunt Izumi. It must be a really good book. Nia doesn't read trashy literature.

Nia the Caregiver

This is not a fluke. Nia really, really, really loves babies. She protects them on the playground, helps them if they fall. What a sweetie.

It's the Wind-Up, It's the Pitch

Japan is funny. They give you free ice cream with every spoon.

Magic Bus

I'm still reeling from the fact that my daughter, who

was just born yesterday, is already riding a bus to and from school. See Nia run. Run, Nia, run.
