NICE SEEING YOU, TAYLORS!

After I go to a new amusement park, I like to update the list of rides I’ve ridden into a Google spreadsheet. Sakura was very interested! Maybe a future coaster enthusiast?

Then Kenji and I played around in the comfiness of his bed.

Hmm, it seems like we do that a lot! (Flashback to 2017!)

It was nice to see you, Sakura! You’ve grown so big in the last year!

MEETING SAKURA

I drove all the way to Seattle and crossed 23 rivers to meet my brand new baby cousin, Sakura! Isn’t she so cute??

Oh yeah, I played with Kenji, too! I was taking a little rest, but he kept on jumping on the bed.

So I decided to join in, too.

We played with Hugs, too…

…and just looked handsome.

I also created an amusement park in his house. This ride is called the Stair Coaster.

And Kenji has a pool! He’s the most amazing splasher and water gun shooter ever.

And then I just wanted to look at cute Sakura some more.

After a while, I wanted to go for a walk around Kenji’s neighborhood. I navigated.

We walked more than one and a half miles! Kenji needed a camel ride home.

Before I went home, I really wanted to hold Sakura. She was so heavy and comfy.

Then I had my bellhop take my suitcase to the car. It was fun meeting you, Sakura!

SAKURA IS HERE!

Welcome to the world, Sakura!

My brand new baby cousin was born on July 2nd. Nana and Papa are up in Seattle visiting her right now. Isn’t she so cute? I can’t wait to meet you, Sakura!

KENJI’S 3rd BIRTHDAY

Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Kenji! We visited Seattle to celebrate his big day. He specifically requested a rainbow cake.

He liked dipping his finger in the frosting.

Then it was time to blow out the candles.

SUCCESS!

One thing I gave him were my old Duplo blocks.

He liked them as much as I did.

Then the next morning, we went to brunch. Kenji loves to put Daddy’s hood on his head! Happy birthday, Kenji!

SEATTLE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

I had my appointment with the Genetics Clinic at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. I was super brave when they took my blood. And the phlebotomist was from Salem, OR. She’s been to Portland and over the Hawthorne Bridge!

MORE EARLY CHRISTMAS & FINAL NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

Aunt Lisa mixed up Kenji’s animals during the night, so Kenji had to fix them right away.

Did you know that Kenji really likes balloons?

I opened my gifts from the Taylor’s, which included this great book about the 50 states.

It had a whole bunch of facts about every state, all the state flags, capitals, and American presidents. Thanks, Taylor’s!

Kenji got some cool Disney cars, which he liked a lot. He reminds me of me when I was two!

Then we decorated some cookies. We are obviously naturals.

It was also the final night of Hanukkah. After sundown, I mustered up all of my concentration to light all eight candles.

From Mom and Dad, I got a book about a dinosaur named…Dexter!

And from Grandma and Grandpa, I got a spirograph set! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the gifts all Hanukkah long!

Then when it was time to go to bed, I found Kenji cuddling with Hugs. She is so loved…
