I don’t have any new pictures to share today, so I dug out an old one—me and Saya, just before her first birthday, in Japan. Gosh she has grown up so much. We’re both a little under the weather right now. Nothing too serious, just colds. But home feels so good right now. I really [...]

Junji actually picked out the curtains at ikea. I just wasn’t in the mood for shopping. And I got a new little print from my friend from Petit Leaf. Isn’t that the cutest robot you have ever seen. When I saw it on her blog, I knew I wanted it because Saya loves “wobots.” And [...]
