Hi! Do you remember this monkey you got for immi when she was little?? Well, now Ashland is enjoying him a whole lot. He loves the tiny ribbons on his head for hair, crinkling his cellophane ears, and chewing on textured paws.
[For those of you who don't know, Auntie Junko moved back to Japan this week. And she will be there for now, but who knows where she'll be going next!!] Anyway, we received the package you sent us full of souvenir from exotic places you just traveled back from, and we are totally enjoying them! (I’m keeping the purse safe for immi until summer when the weather will be much better for it!).
(coffee, tea, cane sugar, frankincense, incense, vanilla beans, saffron…in short, all my favorite things!)
The above photo doesn’t do justice to the huge amount of gorgeous saffron so here’s one out of the plastic. It smells so good, I wish I could share scent in a photo!
We are meeting Auntie Junko at Teaism for lunch because she is leaving for a month long trip around the world (…well, not exactly ‘around’ but too many places for me to remember all the destinations!) this Friday, and while she is away, we’ll be moving. Besides, we couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye to Teaism which has totally become our hangout spot. (Ashland’s sister is busy eating udon noodle.)
Ashland and his Ojiichan.
Ashland and his dad. Ashland can stand-up really quite well! I think that he wants to be walking already.
Ashland’s Ojichan and Obaachan (my mom&dad) are visiting from Japan this week! They flew in yesterday. Ashland is waiting for them to come over all dressed up in his tux-onesie fomr mike&mary:)
Here are my boys hanging out.
Auntie Junko is here this weekend! Todd and immi are hanging out at home and Auntie Junko and I took out Ashland for shopping.
I was hoping that he’d just sleep through the whole experience, but no such luck 
He seems to hate being in the car seat, even as a part of stroller. He wanted out of his seat and wanted me to carry him around so that he can have a look around. He is definitely not a great shopping partner, but he looked so happy exploring that I suppose it was worth it.
