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?

Happy new year!

She's the girl for all seasons! Spring - Summer - Fall - Winter
As usual, we're so procrastinating making our nengajo (Japanese new year greeting postcard sent out to friends and family for the new year) this year. We'll probably use this seasons mosaic as the main feature of the card. In Japan, people like putting photos of their wedding, new babies, children, etc. on their nengajos. Two years ago for the year of the rooster, we had a picture of a roast chicken on our nengajo, quite a far cry from this year's.
