Welcome to our world!

My chinese name is Yin Ling and baby Minori's unofficial middle name is Yen. Both Yin and Yen mean swallow (as in the bird) in chinese. The same swallows that migrate to Malaysia in winter to escape the cold return to Japan when the weather begins to warm up. Like the swallows here, together with daddy, we make our trips between the two countries. Isn't it nice to have two places we can call home?

Back at last!

Our last post was ages ago. Since then, we've moved to a new apartment, gone to Shikinejima (one of a series of islands off Tokyo), had M dance for her grandparents in Aichi, experienced impetigo, gotten a new job... In other words, we took a summer vacation from blogging :D

M's first ever experience with sand n sea in Shikinejima...
We rented bicycles and went around the island on them... can you see M sleeping on the baby seat in the first photo? Hint: hat.
On our trip back to Okazaki, M danced the mambo with jiiji (grandpa)...
More updates tomorrow!

The little cave in Takeshima is so scenic and with Minori's silhouette, the picture was beautifully taken.
