Our first trip to Taiwan. We liked everything, but we liked the people there most. We have many friends from Taiwan and other Asian countries.
Exciting trip to Vietnam. We like traveling historic cities and beach resorts in Asian region. Being in Northeast of US, the only probelm is that it becomes more challenging to trip there.
Our first Christmas as a family of three. It is difficult to believe that a few weeks ago, we were just two. We were so blessed to receive Yuta to our family.
Yuta is running in the national mall. He loves running pathways, singing aloud with people, playing in parks, and reading books. He is really a happy boy!
We visited Japan during Spring to see the families of Rei and Ichiro. They were mostly delighted to see grown up Yuta. We go back to Japan once every one or two years, and hope to visit neighboring countries from time to time as well.
A weekend at Gergetown, along the Potomac river. We love working around the town, shopping clothes, eating at restaurants, and visiting museums. For Yuta, he enjoy looking at airplanes and ships from here.
A weekend at Middleburg in late summer. Visiting small towns in the neighbourhood are one of our favorite activities. Since we lived in NC for a year, and traveled many places in the South, we like anything which reminds us the region.
Sports Festival in fall, where he participated in the running race!! We joined an event organized by a school where Japanese and American families attend for Saturday, in addition to the regular school. We would like Yuta to preserve his Asian herita
We enjoyed pumpkin patch and feeding animals. We enjoy and celebrate all the birthdays, anniversaries, and seasonal events. We have those of US, Latin America, Japan, and probably of China...?
Yuta in Batman costume in his second Halloween in US. He enjoyed the trick or treat with his kid friends in the neighbors. There are many kids in our neighborhood and he has many friends to visit and play with.
Our house is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of families with small kids. The kids (and parents too) frequently play together in the afternoon and evening. The area is always beautiful, particularly during spring and autum.
At the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. Water fronts are one of our favorite places. We like enjoying sea foods, and Yuta likes, of course, seeing ships.
We went to see cherry blossom in National Mall. National Cherry Blossom Festival is one of our favorite events in the local area. Yuta preferred eating than appreciating flowers.
On Yuta's three years old birthday. He has a big smile with many presents from his friends. We had a birthday party at the yard of our house.
There are many nice and family friendly farms close to our area. We enjoy fruit picking there. This one was blueberry picking. Yuta is very good at picking, better than us!?
This is our house at late summer, with comfortable shades. We enjoy invite friends and doing BBQ outside or hot pot party inside.
