Welcome

Today, Taisei's four years old and Mirei's almost 7 months old.  Taisei's about to finish his first year of official preschool at the U of U.  He's loved it and we'll send him back there again next year.  He's been in the Wanpaku Japanese Preschool for several years now and may be finishing up his last year this summer.  Mirei just started officially crawling on Monday, two days ago.  Until now, she has been doing the army crawl to get at things she wants.  And, boy, when she wants something, she really wants something.  She wears her emotions on her sleeves, completely the opposite of her brother, who has to be pried, prodded, and bribed for any extra information.  They seem to be very different already, yet they are the best of buds.  Often, they'll sleep together in a bed at night now.  When Mirei sees Taisei, her eyes light up and she squeals with joy.  It's a happy sight for their parents.  Seeing our kids happy makes everything we do worth it.  We'll do our best to post pictures and anecdotes for posterity and for any of our interested friends.

About 3 months ago.

What?! She started crawling the day after we left?! Come on... Wow, not even 7 months yet. That is an EARLY crawler! Mirei must be pretty strong. I am glad I got to see her, and that when I held her it made her stop crying (cuz you know how some babies cry when you hold them and they don't know you yet?).

Oh man, I didn't even get to see Mirei do the army crawl. I love the expressions on their faces. That is a funny picture.
