Million Dollar Smile

Just look at him!

These Yellow Things Are Delish!

Here's Rin chewing on some yellow connectors at Furatto this afternoon.

Emiko Again

Here's another pic of Rin with my student Emiko

Take the A-Train

Rin and I went to Osaka by train yesterday and he was fascinated by his reflection in the window as wew went through the tunnels

Grocery Shopping with Rin

Here's Rin with tonight's groceries.

Rintarou the Flying Ace!

Here's some pics of Rin in his airplane suit and the new hat he got from Mima! Thanks Mima! Everything was super-cute!

Who Checks the Checkers?

Rintarou does! Here is Rin being enthralled by the checker at the grocery store. He loves the grocery store especially since now he's big enough to sit in the cart. I'll have to get a picture of that next time.

Don't Fence Me In

Here's Rin in another baby-keeper

Rin Loves O-jiichan

Here they are together

A Collectors Item

I was fooling around with the frame designs on my new cell, and found this cute one.

Stand by Me

As some of you may have noticed Rin has learned how to stand! He's figured out how to lower himself back to a sitting position as well, so he hardly ever falls over anymore! BTW the shirt he has on was a Christmas present from Tutu and Dulie and the undershirt was a gift from Gigi.

Ballpool Mania

Rin LOOOOOOVES the ball pool!

Hey! Lemme Outta Here!

Here's Rin trying to escape from the "baby-keeper" in the Daiei rest room.

He's a Little Angel... When He's Asleep

When he's awake he's a little wild animal!

Crawling Fiend

Rin learned to crawl for real a few weeks ago and there's no stopping him now!

お正月:O-shougatsu

We had a lovely New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in Nagata with Sho-chan's family. We went to the shrine and we all picked our fortunes. It looks like this is going to be a great year for the Kanou family because all three of us got 大吉 (Dai-kichi or Great Luck)!


This was one of the candidates for our New Year's card. I liked the confused look Rin had here, but we eventually went with the smiley design you all got. (Anyone who didn't get a nengajou and wants one ー send me your address in an e-mail and I'll mail you one!)


This is me and Rin on our way to the shrine.


And here is Rin with his Ojii-chan.
