Today was a lot of fun - we went into Sannomiya for the 7-5-3 (shichi-go-san) ceremony, which is a traditional (but short) ceremony to recognise children passing through lucky ages. For Anya it was a chance to dress up in a really nice kimono with some of her friends!
I spent hours last night trying to make a book through the Apple Photo printshop thing. I figured if it didn't get done before classes start, it will never get done. Eventually it worked, and we'll get some printed.
Here is a slideshow of my 'efforts':
We'll try to be more disciplined in organising the photos this year, and build it page-by-page. Maybe.
Today was our sixth anniversary. Where did those years go? We spent most of the day in the house, out of the heat and taking it easy after the Disney On Ice trip.
Daddy's culinary expertise knows no bounds.
Once Sam woke from his super-long nap (he's been snotty and grumpy), we headed off to the Yakitori restaurant. This place is great.
I asked Anya if she'd still kiss Daddy when she's 13...
And after our collection-of-food-on-sticks, we went up to the Taiyaki stall. These are lovely red-bean, custard or sweet potato-filled, fish-shaped pancake-things:
Taiyakki stall. We love it.
And then we hopped on the bus back to Rokko Island, to eat them by the big Obon lights by Rivermall. A nice anniversary evening.
