We took the kids to a local photo studio to get some pictures of them in kimonos. This is a pretty common thing in Japan, especially when kids are 3, 5 and 7 (there is a related Shinto ceremony called Shichi-Go-San, which means 7-5-3). Here are videos of each of them emerging in their Kimonos.

This is the story of a young couple from Seattle. They started this blog when they moved to Japan for year in 2005. Since then, the blog has become a record of their lives, friends, cooking, and travels. Follow along at home as they discover a new foreign country: Texas, where they moved in 2008. In July of 2009, the couple added a native Texan, Natalie Beth, to their family. In January of 2013, another native Texan, Jacob Samuel, joined the team.

We are SO excited to show these videos to GG Lloyd tonight at dinner!
Love, Gramps
OMG!!! This is my "go to? when I am having a bad day. How adorable are they in their traditional Japanese garb. I love how Jacob (looking adorable as an authentic Japanese child) tried to go through the back door and how sweet he was looking at his sister and saying, "Natalie" so lovingly.Natalie looked lovely and seemed so proud. A precious moment in time. How I miss them!
Much love,
Bubbe
That brings not only a smile, but tears! These two are so sweet and adorable! Never mind cute!
