At the cottage I really found myself tuning in to nature and my environment. Here is a moment of deep personal reflection and meditation. 誰~だ??お!!私だ!!ミリアムは鏡が大好き。自分で鏡を使ってよく遊びます。
I love my first Victoria Day Long Weekend because Daddy didn't go to work and could play in our garden with me. Here we are checking out the big yellow flower under the Momiji (Japanese Maple). Daddy put this bandana on me to provide shade, stay cool, and look funky. He is so funny how much he smiles when I smile at him.
Watch me! I'm really getting the hang of this grabbing, flicking, spinning, squeezing, turning, twisting, jumping and generally just playing around in my non-digital baby PlayStation.
We got together for a "Ohanami", a Japanese tradition of picnic under cherry tree..... Unfortunately, there were no cherry blossom, but still it was fun to see everybody! Miriam met a lot of her friends!! お花見!!と張り切っていたのですが、肝心の桜はぜんぜん咲いていませんでした。それでもお友達に会えて、楽しかったです!
I love being outside!! Today, Daddy took us to the lake and waterfall for a picnic! Fresh air and sound of water ..... Nice treat! 今日はコテージの近くの湖にピクニックにやってきました。ミリアムはお外が大好き!ご機嫌でした。
Miriam's grand parents are coming to visit her in July. She is very happy to hear the news. あーちゃん帰国5日目にして、早くも次のチケットを予約しました。今度はじいちゃんと一緒に来ます。楽しみだね。ミリアムもうれしいよ!!
Today was the first day to be with mommy alone during a day. but I am fine! I didn't make any trouble for my mommy!! 今日から昼間はママと2人です。でも、ミリアムはとってもいい子でした。今日あたりから急によく喋るようになり、見てるだけでも飽きません。
Miriam's grand mother, Aachan left for Japan today. Miriam is very sad that she is gone now. Can't wait to see her again! あーちゃんが日本に帰ってしまいました。さびしいな。早くまた会いにきてね。
Miriam Sakura's new baby cousins arrived April 21st @ 6:08 and 6:11 pm. Charlie and Aaron were both greeted by a courious Big Cousin Baby Miriam Sakura. Mommy and Daddy are doing great. Auntie and Uncle M & J are thrilled and amazed.
