Alex and Mi-chan

March 2011

2011-03-31T09:34:00.009+09:00

In March, Leo had more fun as always playing with his daddy, mommy and of course friends. He said goodbye to his music teacher, Miss Nakagawa (same last name as Mizue but unrelated), who will no longer teach his baby music class because she is going to get married. Leo will now be taking music at a different school with a new teacher and new songs to learn. What fun! He also said goodbye to one of his best friends, Haruki, whose family will move to his parents' hometown of Nagoya. They all got together for a farewell party at a cool restaurant with toys for kids to play with while moms can relax a bit and chat. Meanwhile, Alex took a one-day business trip to Tokyo, his first time in the Japanese capital, for a meeting of the Japan Association of Translators (JAT) about video game localization.

So where all did we take Leo this month? Let's see, there was Omi Shrine on New Year's Day, the Miffy exhibit (Leo's a fan), playing at Kinder Gym and Fantasy Kid's Resort (indoor facilities for kids to play in), the plastic model train convention (which Mizue unfortunately couldn't join since she had a cold) and the Winter Concert where Leo and other Music Land students danced and had fun performing. We also hung out with Mizue's sister Fumie, Fumie's husband Kiyotomi and their son Sohei.

This Christmas was a big one for the Little Man as he ripped open tons of new presents to fill our little apartment with even more fun-packed toys. We also enjoyed traveling about while mostly staying out of the cold by exploring new places in our car. We found a huge park with free admission and parking next to Lake Biwa where they have all kinds of fun slides and stuff. And Alex's Japanophile friend Vince made yet another journey to the Land of the Rising Sun, where Leo forced him to draw tons of colorful mushrooms. (He's been obsessed with them. Even likes to eat them!) View our photo slideshow to see more of the good times we had.

Leo Turns 2!

2010-11-30T14:05:00.001+09:00

In November, Leo turned two years old and we celebrated with gifts and of course a birthday cake decorated with Wan Wan, a character from his favorite TV show. The family also got a car: a 2006 Nissan Note. That means no more lugging a stroller on and off trains and buses! Hurray! Since then we've been going to all kinds of fun places we haven't been to before. Check out the photos to see where!

Leo had lots of fun playing with friends, going to a sports festival and receiving a couple of early birthday presents: a wooden Thomas the Tank Engine train set from his Aunt Fumie, Uncle Kiyotomi and cousin Sohei along with a new tricycle from Ji and Ba (Grandpa and Grandma Nakagawa). Every time we go to the park we take the trike and carry his blue Anpanman ball in the rear basket, which he loves to kick around. He also got his second haircut and was very well behaved until the shampooing.

The highlight of the month for Leo was definitely going to the Lake Biwa Museum, which has a lot of big fish tanks. Unfortunately, his dad couldn't go because he was busy busy busy with work, but he did join in lots of other fun that you can see in the photos and video. Enjoy!

Let's see, what did Leo do during a very hot August...? His 3B Taiso baby exercise class had a performance, the whole family went out for an American-style (yet indoor) BBQ at a local hotel restaurant, Leo looked cute playing in the sand, he served imaginary drinks and made a very impressive drumming debut. All in all, another fun month with the Little Man.

Monk in Japan

2010-07-31T14:01:00.002+09:00

Alex's very good friend Monk, a former co-worker and bandmate from back in the day, not to mention world traveler, finally made his way to Asia, including a stop in Japan. We got to hang out for a few days and introduce him to the family. The highlight was his first night in Kyoto, when him and Alex saw Korean performance artists dressed as dental hygienists brushing people's teeth downtown. You can see photos from his entire trip here.

We had a truly rainy season in June followed by one of the hottest summers ever in Japan that commenced in July, but that didn't stop Leo from having fun while staying cool in the A/C and in the water with his friends. He also started potty training and got his first St. Louis Cardinals gear. And of course we went to the zoo again, but on a cooler day. Check it out.

Leo made his final visit to Yumekko because they have decided to only allow Otsu city residents to use the facility... :( All the more reason to get a car! So Alex has been working on getting a Japanese license, which is a pain because he has to take the written and practical exams first. Anyway, Leo has been learning to do all kinds of new things, including how to brush his teeth--sort of. ;) He also had great fun at the Foleo mall in Seta, Shiga Prefecture (next to Kyoto Prefecture) and his photo appeared on the Akachan Honpo (a baby goods store) website. Can you spot it in the slideshow?

In May we finally had some nice spring weather, and we made the most out of it! Leo had a great time going to Umekoji Park again, this time with my former co-worker Dean and his nearly two-year-old daughter Jemma joining us. We also went to another big park with Jii and Baa ("grandma" and "grandpa") and had fun going down a huge slide there. Let's see, there was also a family bicycle ride along the Yamashina River to a big shopping center further down the valley and a photo shoot where Leo dressed up as a (chubby) angel. The angel photo is being submitted to a contest to choose models for a Japanese baby clothing brand.

The cherry blossoms came in bloom in April but it was still unusually cold for most of the month. El Nino has been screwing up the weather in the Far East and we had an extended winter, but we still managed to go out and have lots of fun at Leo's favorite places. He also said his first word: わんわん (pronounced "wan wan"), which is the word Japanese children use for dog. It is also the sound dogs make, like "bark bark" or "arf arf" in English.

We're watching a penguin swim laps at the petting zoo.

More of the usual stuff in March: eating food, going to the zoo, playing at Yumekko, hanging out with Leo's friends Haruki and Yui, etc. We also visited Umekoji Park near Kyoto Station. It would be nice to have such a big park that we could access without having to take a train, but oh well.

Haruki's ready to rock!

So what were Leo's adventures in February? Well, he went to Yumekko. Yes, yet again. It's fun and free and there's a restaurant next door that serves food for babies! But most importantly, he loves playing with all the toys, the wooden ball pit and slide and stuff there. All the kids from his baby exercise class (where he doesn't participate at all but just does what he wants instead) got together for an event. Let's see, he also had a fit of laughter over his rolling froggie, and he got his first hair cut ever. The pictures at the salon are cute, but Captain Whiny Butt got incredibly fussy shortly thereafter and it was a struggle just to get the cut done. We'll have to try a different approach next time...

To kick off the New Year, Leo got his first pair of shoes, learned how to use a spoon, finally got his birthday presents from his Farrell grandparents delivered by the oh-not-so-speedy U.S. postal service after they were sent to Spain, appeared in a music concert for his baby music class, met his cousin Sohei and of course...went to Yumekko!

Leo's 1st Real Christmas!

2009-12-31T17:19:00.002+09:00

(All Videos / ビデオの一覧)
This was actually Leo's second Christmas, but since he was just a month old last year and didn't even really take notice of anything that was going on as we briefly put up the tree to show him the lights before getting back to the very busy work of taking care of him, this year was his first real Christmas. Leo also of course went to Yumekko and played with his buddies Haruki and Shoki. He loves that place! And he visited his baby exercise lessons classmate, Yui.

Leo Turns One!

Leo turned one year old on the third of this month and got some cool new toys. His birthday is kind of close to Christmas, but we'll make sure that isn't used as an excuse to give him fewer presents. Leo also continued his adventures in the outside world, visiting an underground play land in downtown Kyoto on his birthday, while also visiting Yumekko and the tuskless elephant at the zoo.

Leo always loves going out, and this month he visited two of his favorite places: Yumekko Land in Hamaotsu and the Kyoto City Zoo. It was his first time at both places. He had a great time playing with his buddies Shoki and Haruki at Yumekko, and he was super excited to see the llama at the zoo. Oh, and we also happened to see a festival parade near Yamashina Station on our way to the zoo.

Miki House Mania!

September is still a pretty hot month in Kyoto, but that didn't stop Leo from going out and taking an average of two rides in the stroller a day! He loves to go outside. He also likes looking cute in the adorable clothes Mizue chooses for him. This month's featured brand name: Miki House!

As you can see, the Little Guy sure is growing up. His hair is really starting to come in, he's got his first Legos to play with, and he's been hanging out with his buddies Haruki and Shoki (the kid with chopsticks perpetually sticking out the mouth). Vince also dropped by to say hi during his 20th or so visit to Japan.

In June, Leo learned how to hold his juice bottle and had a lot of fun with his new toy, the Jumparoo. He also beat up his daddy in a wrestling match!

ILC Rock

2009-05-31T23:59:00.000+09:00

Alex jammed with some former ILC co-workers in Osaka in May: Paul (guitar and vocals), Rob (bas. It was an evening of beer and rock. What more can a guy ask for?

The last picture in this set is a sign of the times.

In May, Leo and his proud parents celebrated his first Children's Day with a samurai helmet, a blue carp streamer and carp streamer-shaped cake. (Maybe he can have a bite of cake next year.) Other than that, Leo played a bunch and acted cute as always...while being a whinybutt on occasion, too.

April was a busy month for the Little Man. Leo slept through his first hanami (cherry blossom viewing) along the canal in Yamashina, learned to type and help out Daddy with his translation work, practiced dressing as a rock star, laughed his head off, was introduced to the Super Duper Play Zone and discovered his feet and more. Whew!

Leo Laughs!

In March, Mizue's friend Kazuko came to visit and say "Konnichiwa" to Leo.

Mizue and Alex dressed up and attended Mikiko and Miyamoto-kun's wedding. Leo, meanwhile, has been growing up, starting to hold up his milk bottle some, and more importantly, doing the cutest laughs in the world!

First Book, Visit to Shrine and "Food"

2009-02-28T22:10:00.014+09:00

In February Leo got his first books, his favorite of which is "Zoo," probably because it rattles more than due to what's on the pages, but oh well.

We also took Leo to visit Heian Shrine, where a traditional Shinto ceremony was performed so that he'll grow up healthy. It was an interesting cultural experience, but the religious meaning was lost on us since we aren't religious people (along with about 90% of the Japanese).

Later that evening we did "okuizome," a tradition where you pretend to give a baby his or her first meal 100 days (or so) after being born. He "ate" fish, too, which his daddy is unfortunately now allergic to. By the way, don't forget there are also new videos (ビデオ) to see!

Ringing In The New Year With Baby

2009-01-31T19:15:00.003+09:00

It's January, it's really cold in Kyoto, but we have our Little Guy to hang out with while we stay warm inside. Here's lots of Leo! (Video/ビデオ)

Welcome Home Leo!

2008-12-31T07:23:00.002+09:00

In late November, Mizue returned to the apartment in Takehanaogi, Yamashina Ward with her and Alex's son, Leo. He's been having all sorts of fun while keeping his parents as busy as he can. Parenthood sure is a big challenge, but it's perhaps the most rewarding challenge there is in life. And we've only been at it for a couple months! Enjoy the pics and videos. (All Video / 全てのビデオ)

It's Leo! 怜旺です！

2008-11-30T01:21:00.001+09:00

BIG NEWS! Alex and Mizue became the proud parents of a baby boy, Leo Jeffrey Nakagawa (Japanese: 中川怜旺) on November 3rd, 2008. He was born at 51.5 cm and 3.192 kg at Daigo Watanabe Clinic in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, Japan at 2:11 a.m. local time. Pictures in this set were taken at the clinic, where Mizue stayed for a week and Alex often spent the night in her private room, as well as at Mizue's parents' house, where she stayed until about the end of November to ease the transition to motherhood. This posting also has a new feature: video (ビデオ)! You can see six videos at our new YouTube channel, which we recommend you see in high quality (button at the bottom right of the video frame). And feel free to leave us some comments there, or here too if you have a Blogger account.

Goodbye ILC さよならILC!

2008-10-09T01:13:00.000+09:00

Alex works at home now! That's right, he quit his full-time job teaching Engish for ILC, a subsidiary of Jikkei Gakuen Group (a chain of vocational schools), and is now a freelance translator working in his undies from the comfort of him and Mizue's home. Pictures here include some pics from the summer seminar with other "native" teachers, and a company trip to a hot spring and other sites around Ise, Mie Prefecture with faculty and staff from Toyo Medical College, where Alex was assigned during his tenure with ILC. Last are a couple shots on Alex's final day organizing the English Club at Shin-Osaka Dental Technicians College.

Overnight Trip to Nara 奈良観光

2008-01-31T00:56:00.002+09:00

Alex and Mizue took their first overnight trip, though they didn't go very far: Nara! Mizue wanted to study up for her tour guide training coming up in a few months, but it was freakin' cold because we went in the middle of January! There was even a little snow. Staying together at the hotel was fun though, so all in all it was a nice trip. Enjoy the pics!

Universal Studios Japan

2007-12-27T03:14:00.000+09:00

During Alex's Christmas vacation, we went to Universal Studios Japan, where Alex: got his hands on a new car; showed off his patriotic side; showed Mizue how to be a firefighter; and was saved from a shark by Mizue. Both Mi-chan and Alex were caught on camera hanging out in their hoods. And in the end, Alex of course made a complete fool of himself--again.

Autumn at Eikan-do 秋の永観堂

2007-11-10T03:06:00.000+09:00

Alex and Mi-chan visited the gardens and Eikan-do at the foot of the mountains along the eastern side of Kyoto to take in the scenic views and autumn foliage. Afterwards, we took a walk by the National Museum of Modern Art and the giant torii (Shinto gate) that stands in front of Heian Shrine.

So-chan's Visit to the Lake Biwa Museum 琵琶湖博物館に行ったよ！

2007-09-23T02:59:00.000+09:00

Mizue went with our nephew, Sohei (aka So-chan) to the Lake Biwa Museum, where he saw lots of fish and learned about nature. Also tagging along were his grandparents Hisatoshi and Sachiko, and his mom, Fumie. (Mizue took all the pictures, so that's why she doesn't appear in any of them.)

Camping at Gulliver's Village ガリバー村でキャンプしたよ！

2007-09-17T02:49:00.000+09:00

We went camping at Gulliver's Village with our friends Mikiko and Miyomoto-kun. Mi-chan really loves being in nature, and had a great time getting to know all the insects who joined our BBQ, including the ultra-friendly praying mantis! ... Actually, she's not a fan of nature or insects at all, but went along with Alex on the adventure anyway. Everybody had a fun time! (And a few days later, Alex celebrated his 28th birthday with Mizue and a tasty cake.)

A Lot of Different Pictures 色々な写真が混ざっているよ！

2007-07-13T23:14:00.000+09:00

First, we went with So-chan to Nada Zoo in Kobe, near where his family moved to. There's a picture of the park at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. Next are a few shots from Kennin Temple, the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. Afterwards are some scenes from Koshien Stadium, home of the Hanshin Tigers, where they beat the Rakuten Golden Eagles 5-0; we went with Mikiko and Miyamoto-kun. Lastly there are a couple shots of us with our friend Vince who suddenly came on a trip to Japan, during which he stopped by Kyoto to have some food and drinks with us.

Bishamon-do and Miyako Odori 毘沙門堂と京おどり

2007-04-21T18:09:00.000+09:00

We spent a couple weekends taking in some of the local culture. On one day, we went to a temple in the mountains nearby called Bishamon-do. On the next weekend, we went with Mikiko and Kazuhiro to see a maiko and geisha dance performance called the Miyako Odori (Dance of the Capital). Kazuhiro's younger sister, Harue, is a maiko, and she performed in the dance. (She is the one wearing the ochre green kimono.) It was a beautiful performance. Afterwards, we were able to meet Harue and another maiko backstage for a chat and some photos. It was interesting to meet and talk with a maiko face-to-face, as before they had always seemed to be in an entirely different world, inaccessible to us.

O-hanami お花見

2007-04-10T20:40:00.000+09:00

After a couple bonus pictures of our nephew, Sohei, you can view Mizue and Alex going out to view the cherry blossoms in full bloom over the weekend at Shosei Garden (where Alex proposed to Mizue two years before) and Tenryu Temple, and then Mizue going with her good friend Mikiko to Daigo Temple.

Nagoya Higashiyama Zoo 名古屋にある東山動物園

2007-02-12T22:22:00.000+09:00

Mizue and Alex spent a day with their nephew, Sohei, and Mizue's parents at the huge Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya. Sohei and his parents will be moving to Kobe soon, so that means he'll be able to see Mizue, Alex and Mizue's parents more often. Sohei, who'll be five-years-old in March, has been enjoying learning about dinosaurs and speaking English. He guided everyone at the zoo with an English-language map.

In Search of Hell Girl 地獄少女を捜して

2007-02-11T22:00:00.000+09:00

Alex and Mi-chan went on a quest in search of the elusive Jigoku Shoujo--"Hell Girl"--at Kyoto's famed Fushimi-inari Shrine. For a long time they had been tracking this vengeful spirit of the Underworld, having visited all the other famed sights in the ancient city of Kyoto. By chance they happened to find her at the last place they looked.

Ise Shrine 伊勢神宮

2007-01-01T00:12:00.000+09:00

On New Year's Day Alex and Mizue went on a bus tour to Ise Shrine with Mizue's parents. Ise Shrine is the most venerated Shinto shrine in Japan, the Inner Shrine of which is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, from whom, according to legend, the Imperial Family is descended. The complex consists of two parts: the Inner and Outer Shrines, each of which are located in different parts of the town of Ise. First we visited the Outer Shrine, where free sake was handed out after offering a donation at the shrine entrance. We then took the bus to the Meoto-iwa (Wedded Rocks), which consists of two rocks--a husband and a wife--connected by a rope which is replaced each year. We had lunch and saw some sea lions there as well. Then it was off to the Inner Shrine, which was originally only meant to serve important worshipers--not commoners such as ourselves. Entrance into the inner sanctum of the shrine is only permitted to the Imperial Family. After that Mizue and Alex checked out the shopping avenue designed in the style of the Edo Period (1603-1868), where we bought some snacks, saw dried fish skins and drank the worst beer on the planet, Sinto Beer.

Thanksgiving and Christmas サンクスギヴィングとクリスマス

2006-12-25T23:28:00.000+09:00

Another Thanksgiving in Japan came and went, but this time it was our first one as a married couple. Sticking to tradition we feasted on Kentucky Fried Chicken on the fourth Thursday of November. In the third picture you can see Alex's swollen face after having his second wisdom tooth removed. Later that month we had kimchee nabe with Mizue's good friend Mikiko and her boyfriend, Kazuhiro. Lastly you can see ｐhotos of our Christmas celebration with our brand new tree, which has pine needles that are lit by LEDs. (It's cool!) One of Alex's students knitted a cute dog by hand which was put under the tree in remembrance of Char-li.

Kiyomizu Temple Light-Up 清水寺の夜間拝観に行ったよ！

2006-12-02T19:08:00.000+09:00

Mizue and Alex visited famed Kiyomizu Temple when it was lit up during the autumn leaf-viewing season. By the way, the temple is a candidate nominated to be one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

We Went to Taiyogaoka Park with our Nephew, Sohei 宗ちゃんと太陽ヶ丘公園に行った！

2006-10-29T18:36:00.000+09:00

While Fumie (Mizue's sister) was attending a friend's wedding, we took her son, Sohei, out to play at a park. He learned how to throw a frisbee and climb across a rope net, and we also rode down a huge slide, which he really enjoyed.

Mt. Hiei Enryaku Temple and Ninna Temple 比叡山延暦寺と仁和寺に行ったよ！

2006-08-29T18:01:00.000+09:00

During the Obon summer holiday, we went to a couple places. First, we went to a historic temple atop Mt. Hiei called Enryaku Temple. There were great views from the mountain, but there was also a thunderstorm, and lightning struck the mountain several times. It was frightening, but we survived. On a different day, Mizue and Alex visited Ninna Temple in the west part of Kyoto (from picture 17).

Sanjusangendo & the Romantic Train to Arashiyama 三十三間堂とトロッコ列車

2006-07-30T17:26:00.000+09:00

Mizue and Alex did a bit of sightseeing in July. First was Sanjusangendo, which is a temple where there are 1,000 Buddhist statues, and you can find among them one statue which has your face (if you're Japanese). On a separate excursion, we took a "romantic train" from Kameoka to Arashiyama.

Vince In Japan ヴィンスが日本に来てくれたよ！

2006-07-14T01:34:00.000+09:00

So our good friend Vince, whom Alex knows from his bartending days as a university student in Austin, recently came to visit. But first, you can see some other stuff.

Ninjas of Mie-ken 三重県の忍者

2006-04-30T21:25:00.000+09:00

We went with Mizue's parents to see the home of the famed ninjas of Iga-ueno. They're known for their skills with shuriken, as well as their sneaky kancho attacks!

Spring Sightseeing 春の観光

2006-04-07T21:21:00.000+09:00

We went off the beaten track a bit and took a look at some less not-so-famous locales in Kyoto, as well as revisited some of the best this spring. Plum, apricot and cherry blossom trees were in full bloom.

After NCB エヌシービーの後に

2006-02-26T21:23:00.000+09:00

NCB's bankruptcy was tough on all the teachers and staff who had worked there, but we were still in high enough spirits to make the best of it and have some beers together.

After-Wedding Party 二次会

2006-01-14T02:25:00.000+09:00

After the wedding ceremony and reception, we headed downtown to a pub called Hub, where friends of Mizue's organized an after-wedding party for us. We had a great time chatting with our friends and having some good food and drinks, plus indulging in some fun games.

Our Wedding. 結婚式
