Today it was the last day of the kindergarten for Daijiro.
Look at him in a suit with necktie.


His grandmother Takako made a gift to him; a randoseru.
It is a backpack made of leather which commonly most of pupils in Japan use during 6 school years.


What makes Daijiro happy also makes Hana happy... or anytime when Hana is happy, Daijiro is happy...??

Omedetoh (congratulation), Daijiro!

Amané is enjoying spring in the garden of her grand-parents.
She can stand up without hands now,
and she always wants somebody to help her for walking.



Her cousin Ylan went back to Montpellier...

I'm happy because she seems not to feel jetlag...



She's sleeping 13 h at night!!!!!
It was a long trip full of strong experiences for those 2 babies....

March 15th 2011

In the morning we went to Ozu, where we found a so nice and delicious restaurant!!! There was also a museum about the fifties in Japan... I really like those designs!! Then, we went to Uchiko. Uchiko is really beautiful, for me it's the most beautiful little town in Japan. She's really well preserved, with nature, a little river and full of real life.... Even with a grey sky she attracted me a lot! I hope I can go back there one day.... So beautiful!!

March 14th 2011

We spent the night in Nakatosa, a little city with a little harbor... Here life had stopped in the sixties...!!!! At the market we ate delicious fishes, and Ced even cooked some in a big fire place!!! After we decided to do a little bit the way of the pilgrims... There was a path, where Kookai have walked... The 2 kids enjoyed to be in the forest!! They had their lunch there... Nice time for Amané!!
