Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!
Halloween 2010

I know it’s a bit late, but I have only just got round to putting the photos from our school’s Halloween Costume Competition on the photo gallery page. The results will be announced in a couple of weeks, once everyone has voted.

Hana isn’t a student so she can’t enter the competition, but I do think she looks a bit scary in the picture above!!

I think she looks much better without the mask, but I am her Dad so am probably biased!!

 

 

Halloween 2010

 

One of the advantages of having our own school is Hana gets to play with lots of children. She has got her own little crew now and knows which of her homeys are coming on certain days. I think being in her own home gives her the confidence to be a bit of a leader. I just hope she doesn’t get too bossy!!

Ed and Airi

 

We went up to the shine in Narita recently for my niece Airi’s Ohatsumairi. She is a little poppet, and everyone was surprised when she fell asleep when I held her. What can I say, beer bellies are so comfortable!!!

Hana and Haruna

 

Hana and Haruna were having a great time running around the shrine’s grounds. Their Grandad Takeo had brought along two massive bags of sweets for them, and they just ran around holding hands eating sweets. They looked very happy!!!

 

Tea party

 

A mate of mine was moving house and didn’t want these little tea cups and saucers. He gave them to me and Hana loves them!! She thinks it’s very funny to sit in the living room having a pretend tea party!!!

 

Hana in the hat

Hey amigo!!!!

This is just a random picture I found in the camera from a while ago. I think she takes after her Granny Wendy in her love for hats and sunglasses – this could be a sign of expensive times to come??

WeddingThis is a photo of us all in our glad rags at a friends wedding.

Will have to get my suit out again for Hana’s upcoming Shichi-go-san ceremony. It’s a big day for children in Japan and marks the entrance into middle childhood. I will upload some photos from that when I get a chance………………..

Anyway, hope you are all well,

Eddie
