Already Three Years Old

Elizabeth started her birthday off right, opening her birthday presents within a few minutes of waking up. Auntie Hanako's magnetic dolls were a huge hit, and everyone enjoyed playing with them -- even Mommy!

It's hard to believe that three years ago, Elizabeth was such a tiny baby and I was holding her in her newness in a hospital bed. Children do really grow so quickly, from helpless infants, to drooly crawlers, then to tottering little people, and then into cute little girls. I hope that Elizabeth never loses her sweetness.

Another Happy Birthday!

Helen enjoyed celebrating he obasan's birthday this year at the Carnelian Room in San Francisco. Despite the large gash on her chin--received at home while climbing on the furniture--she had a wonderful time.

I Know You Have the Ball...

Helen! Rule #2 of golf: do not touch another player's ball. Now please give the ball back to Elizabeth.

Golf Lessons

Helen and her big sister had another lesson in golf on this beautiful Saturday in California. Although not really interested in the clubs, Helen is interested in the ball and putting the ball in the cup -- an important lesson for those who want to learn the game.
