Ema on the humidifier... does it need anymore explanation?  Its a place to climb!

I painted the hall lilac-ish purple...  I know its not white!

My new motion sensor and light fixture in the hall way.  Still trying to figure it out but working pretty nice.

Mark is done!!!  Lets see those shelves.

  One photo is massive ... sorry!

HANA-MI on Roosevelt Island!!

Marks new fireplace tiles going up.  Makes me want to get some work done... kinda.

Emi made Ema a robe.  Now she looks like a ghost.

Our trip to Colorado.

Emi snowboarding pretty cool huh. I couldn't get a better shot cause she would catch up to me too fast and I didnt have time to turn around and get the camera out.

Ema said "Skiing is fun but I'm beat!"

So after hours at Copper, having a drink with mommy and daddy is good stuff.

The onsen is nice too.  Hot Sulfur Springs Colorado.

Ema and Dejaih in front of the TV.

Fam and some poker.

We tried her snowsuit on before we went to Colorado on the balcony.... she wasn't happy

Ema's love of TV does not end with Baby Einstein... Japanese TV works well too!   LET ME IN@!!@ Step back or you will have to watch from your chair young lady!

Emi's Friends in Tokyo

Visited Mr. Onouchi's Home

Chillin in the bath with daddy (Japanese Tradition) And all children need  cute bath photos right? Future embarrassment. 

Emi's parents condo being in Tokyo has limited parking so what else would you do but do down!  The cars are buried three deep and the only time I could get a photo was while Emi's dad and I were diggin out the car (notice the dustpan, LOL, it doesnt snow much in Tokyo)   But a pretty cool deal with the auto elevator.
