Sakura is 10 months old


早いもので2月も終わり。
久々に先日、ジョシュとデービスとクロはパグミィーテイングに行ってきました。私とさくらは風邪の為、お家でお留守番。
ジョシュもデービスもクロも楽しい時間を過ごしたようです。
先週の土曜日は、さくらのジムでした。3月と4月はお休みしてまた5月からジムに通います。
さくらも日に日に歩く歩数も増えてきて、ますます目が離せなくなってます。

Already the end of February. Either time has flown by this year or we have stayed busy. Ever since the beginning of the year we have had Sakura enrolled in both swimming lessons at the YMCA & Level 1/2 at Gymboree. This past Saturday was her last Gymboree class until May. She will be up to level 3 class by then as today she is 10 months old. She surprises us daily with little things that she is learning/exploring. She is getting much better at walking around the house (living room thru the kitchen to the computer room). We really need to watch her as she quickly leaves the room to explore. This past week Josh brought Day-bis & Kuro to a Pug meeting/birthday party at Dogtopia. Very busy pictures with about 20 Pugs in attendance. Takako & Sakura stayed at home for some girl time.

Valentine's Day


今日はバレンタインデー。午前中は、さくらと一緒に小麦粉粘度で遊び、お昼はハート型のピザを食べ(お店で売ってるのを買って家で焼きました。)その後は、皆でプールに遊びに行きました。夜は今朝作ったチョコレートケーキを食べました。
さくらはここ最近、数歩、歩けるようになりました。明日はアメリカは祝日、大統領の日。明日も皆でプールに行く予定。

Today, Valentine's Day. I am very lucky because I have two girls to spoil today. The pictures above look like Sakura made the pizza dough but we cheated and bought a heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's. We just wanted to introduce her to flour & then water mixed in as seen in the below video. In Japan they call it, "flour clay". After the pizza lunch, we headed for swimming at the Sarpy County YMCA then back home to relax the rest of the night away. Takako had also made a 'triple' chocolate cake. (One layer of smashed Oreo's, one layer of chocolate cream cheese & topped with chocolate syrup.) It sure was a Valentine's Day to remember.
