Went down to Nagano for the one year memorial for Tamie’s grandmother. We were a bit worried about going as Layla has been coughing up a storm and burning up a fever the last few days, but she made it successfully.
Going down, we took a bullet train decorated in cartoon characters (only in Japan!). Even the seats had little pikachu’s on them.
The only problem we had the whole trip was Layla’s refusal to sleep in the hotel crib – our best guess was that it reminded her too much of the hospital cages they locked her up in every night. Luckily we had two twin beds in our room… one for Tamie and one for us. It worked out pretty well – Layla doesn’t take up nearly as much space (or blankets =). The ceremony itself was nice with plenty of good food, drink and parting gifts and Layla behaved herself through the entire thing. Tamie, on the other hand…
Coming back was tiring, but we made it… only to find a comment waiting about posting pictures on this fancy new blog! Sorry mom, I’m working on it. I’m uploading some to flickr but there’s apparently a monthly limit too, so I don’t know how many will be successfully uploaded – hopefully enough to sate your appetite for a little while! If not, here’s the latest picture:

Hosting your own blog now, and actually updating it? What, are you trying to make the rest of us look bad?
Sorry to hear that Layla is still under the weather, hopefully she’ll be over all of this sickness stuff as she gets older.
Not trying to make you look bad — trying to inspire/challenge you to better yourself =)
She might be sick, but she’s a trooper. If she wasn’t sick all the time, I’d never keep up with her.
