Jichinsai

Daddy — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 05:57:00 +0000

今日は由佳とオーエンの新しい家の地鎮祭
Today Aunt Yuka and Uncle Owen are having their Jichinsai, the ceremony for purifying the ground before building their new house.

凛と舞とマミーも頭を2回下げて…
Lin and Mommy bow twice to show respect…

また2回手を叩く。いいお家が建ちますように!
And then pray for a nice house to be built.

次は昔通っていた保育園の夏祭でプチ同窓会
Next stop was a Summer Festival at Lin’s old pre-school.

里央菜ちゃんも里桜ちゃんも凜も昔の先生に会えて嬉しかった。
Riona, Lin, and Rio were glad to be able to see their old teachers again.

hot weather

Daddy — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 10:37:00 +0000

最近暑いから昼間に行水してて、あんまりにも可愛い裸体なので
撮影会。
It’s gotten so hot recently that Mai often takes cold showers at midday.

こんなポーズしてみたり・・・。
That was refreshing.

マミーまだ撮ってんの?もう恥ずかしいでちゅ。
Mommy, why do you keep taking pictures of me like this?

凜は舞を笑わせるのがとっても上手。

特に凜の「ハイパーいないいないばー」は大のお気に入り。
「ほら舞ちゃ～ん、いないない～・・・・
Lin is getting really good at making her little sister laugh.
Especially with the hyperspeed peekaboo trick.

ぱー!!!」(ばー!ではなくて、ぱー!)
これで舞はケタケタ声をあげて笑うよ。
This never fails to get Mai chuckling loudly.

近所のお友達と亀の親子ごっこ

Big Sister

舞が産まれる前は、「一人目をこんなに写真を撮ってると、二人目は可哀相かも」と思っていたけど、結局最近は舞の写真ばっかりになってきたような気がする。だって舞ってばいい表情するんだもん。
凜がちょっと可哀相という意見にお答えして今日は凜ちゃん特集!
Before Mai was born, we had heard that younger siblings often feel hurt when there are more pictures of the firstborn, and we were worried that having taking so many pictures of Lin, Mai would end up feeling cheated that there were so few of her. But recently it’s turned out that the blog is mostly Mai, so today we’ll do an all-Lin feature.

やっとクレヨンの正しい持ち方を覚えて、ちゃんと線から出ないように頑張ってぬり絵をする凜。
Lin has finally learned how to hold the crayon correctly, and she’s traying hard to stay in the lines.

そして今日はほぼ正しくお箸も使えた!
And she even got the chopsticks mostly right today!

「じゃ、お笑いの顔しようか?」と意味不明。
Lin says, “Now I’ll do the comedy face.” We’re not sure what that means.

ダディーのバスケの試合でひかりちゃんと仲良しになったよ。
At Daddy’s basketball game, Lin and Hikari became good friends.

試合が終わってもこのコンビが色々と笑わせてくれた。
After the game, Lin and Hikari went exploring together on the way to the parking lot.

母子仲良し
Mother and daughter

どうしてもチューしてつぶしたくなるね、この極上ほっぺ。
These cheeks are just asking to be squished with kisses.

七夕で皆の願いが叶ったかな?
Everyone makes their Tanabata wishes.

今日は隣の花奈乃ちゃんと一緒にお風呂に入って大騒ぎ
Lin and Hanano took a bath together and had a splashy great time.

Roll over

Daddy — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 11:42:00 +0000

この時計かっちょいいでしょ?
I’ve got a cool watch.

でも時刻設定はどこからやるんだろう?
But I can’t figure out how to set the time.

舞の七夕の願い事
Tomorrow is Tanabata (the only night of the year when the lovers Vega and Altair can cross the milky way to see each other so we put up the bamboo leaves and wrote wishes on paper to tie to the leaves.
Mai is wishing for a full head of hair.
Lin wished for a bunkbed and to grow tall like Daddy.

寝返りに挑戦する舞
Mai tries to roll over.

ゴロンと転がってと・・あれ?ここはどこ?
How did I get over here?

あっ、出来たって事か! しゅごいね、わたち!
Oh, you mean I did it? Yeah!

ダディーのTシャツをパジャマにする凜
