You talkin' to me?

Cuz I'm the only one here. Are you talkin' to me?

This is the first post in a loooooong time.

Here's our girl with a couple of more years under her belt. She's now seven, happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise. What more is there?

Geisha Picnic

Some girls have all the fun.

Matsuri

It's neighborhood festival time (matsuri), and like a good citizen, Nia was there to tow her bit of the line. If you look closely at the group shots (the first four pics), you'll see Nia at center stage. The final shot speaks for itself. Nice outfit, Nia!

The big guy behind Nia in the first photo is Ma-chan, the husband of Hiromi's friend Sayo, who appears elsewhere in this site (see below). Ma-chan is an expert carpenter and is helping us maintain the Kyoto house. Arigato, Ma-chan!!

The Family Who Pedals Together

Watch out, Lance Armstrong.

Way Too Much Fun

Doing what they do best.

Gang's All Here

A recent visit from Hiromi's friends Manabu (striped shirt), Kazu (tank top), and Kengo (glasses). Manabu and Kazu form the band KS1, with Manabu on 6-string and Kazu on bass (guitar, not fish). Rock on, gentlemen.

Alysa (Again)

Here is Alysa again (see below). Accompanied by her brother and pooch.
