Victory!
Many people visiting really liked the photo of Misaki grinning, but another shot - very difficult! She also laughs now, but more infrequently than she smiles. So this morning since we were getting thousands of smiles, we had another go at catching it on digital celluloid, and succeeded!

Winter
Brrr..my first winter has arrived in Sydney... all of sudden its very chilly, so here I am all wrapped up for winter warmth. I can just see you!

Smiles and Towels
The last few weeks Misaki has decided to reward us further - we have moved from goos and gaas to beautiful smiles. It is hard to work out when they are going to come, and why, but we are very pleased when they do!

Bathtimes provide a never ending source of lovely photos of Misaki, but we can't include recent photos of her and her mother together in the bath, so here's one of Miss Noodieboots in her towel afterwards.

More up to the Minute Photies!
Ahh Saturday - Mum goes swimming and I get to spend some "quality time" with Dad. We walked in the buggy all the way down to Circular Quay, admired the view and took in some coffee, before returning to the Cook and Phillip pool for Yum Cha.

Me in me PJs!

Just cute while feeding!

Thank You - An Aside
Yuki and I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent such wonderful gifts to Misaki - many of them hand made. We have been overwhelmed by your kindness and cannot thank you enough. They are all beautiful and useful, and some of you will see your gifts in the photos here.
We have tried to send you all a little thank you card, but if among the many we somehow passed you over - please forgive us and rest assured your gift is really appreciated and we thank you.





Hi Chris and Yukie,
Misaki is just georgeous!Is it my imagination or does she have a touch of red in that hair?
Looking forward to meeting her in person in October.
