Link to Anna's Ballet Photo Album

Due to a mess up on the previous blog entry, you probably could not see the photo album of Anna's recital. I have solved the problem now. The date was set to 2006 instead of 2007 and the album was put at the end of the list.

Click the link below to see all of the pictures and videos.

Anna's Ballet Recital








This past weekend Anna's grandma came to Inzai from Matsusaka to see her ballet recital. She was extremely cute along with all of the other girls. We have alot of pictures posted on the Picassa photo album so please take a look there too.

After the ballet we had Matsusaka Beef from Marunaka. Hiroko's Mom had the beef sent by a cool pack from her home town. We had sukiyaki for dinner. Mmmmmmm.

Finally, on Christmas Eve-Eve (12/23) we had Santa deliver Anna's presents early and Grandma Matsusaka took Anna back to Matsusaka with her. My wife and I will catch up with Anna on Friday when we leave by car to Matsusaka.

Anna Loves Mascots


This weekend Hiroko had to work at Eddie Bauer. Also, we had to take Anna into the doctor for an ear infection. I think every parent needs to worry about their kids picking up some type of flu bug or something at school. Anna's cough and plugged up nose eventually got to her right ear. I took her to the ear doctor on Saturday. I arrived at about 11:30am and the doctor did not see us until around 1:30pm. This doctor does not take appointments. You just sort of show up and everyone takes their turn. What a great way to spend a day. Whoopee!

Anyway, afterwards I took Anna to the Mall to pick up Mommy at work and we met up with the cat, bunny, and monkey. Anna, of course, likes to get pictures with all of them.

On Sunday, I had to pick up some ink cartridges for the computer at K's. There we met this character that looks like a small gas plume. We are not sure what he is but they had a pink one and a blue one. This gas plume character would walk around and wave it's arm whenever a child came near. Actually there was no one inside this. It was a robot (Ooooooh!) that responded to kids voices and waddled towards them when they spoke. Pretty cool.

They were having a sale on gas heaters, and this was the mascot. The mascot was great but the cutesy theme song for the character that they kept playing over and over and over was enough to make your brain bleed.
