Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Japan - Day 7, Part 3: Visiting Chuson-ji Shrine and Eating Okonomiyaki. Next we headed back to Ichinoseki to pick up cousin Konomi from her after school club and then out to another shrine. By this point we had already seen many shrines (and would see many more on this Japan trip) but Shinobu thought he should take us here. This image shows what I couldn't photograph from www.japantimes.co.jp. There were beautiful trails on the grounds as well. Altho...

PB&J: Japan - Day 7, Part 1: Aunts Toyoko & Miye, My Grandparents, and Kakko Dango

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Japan - Day 7, Part 1: Aunts Toyoko and Miye, My Grandparents, and Kakko Dango. When we woke in the morning we could appreciate the setting around Uncle Shinobu's house. His own property is gardened carefully, but just beyond his home are rice fields and farms. The morning light filtered in. On the left is the front entry way that starts at ground level and steps up into the rest of the house. We stayed in the room at the right. Next we went to visit...

PB&J: May 2014

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. It's nearly 100 degrees outside. The kids asked for ice-cream as an after school snack. I made this instead. I don't have a picture because we all had seconds and drank every last drop. But here's what we used for 1 adult and 2 kids. 1/4-1/3 can 100% orange juice concentrate. 1 whole chilled orange, pealed. 1/2 C almond milk. 1/2 C 100% pineapple coconut juice. Japan - Day 4, Part 2a: Touring with Jun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Take a look at my pro...

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. The feeling of watching your children interact and love each other is indescribable. These pictures come close. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Sorry for the length of this post, but welcome to a personal journal entry to remember and document Burton's birth. In the meantime, I called Labor and Delivery. Contractions were 4-5 minutes apart when I was laying down and 1-2 minutes apart when I was standing up for my bathroom and water breaks. L&D basica...Blake...

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Saturday, January 12, 2013. I just realized I never posted our family photo session this year. I always like to wait until after Christmas cards are mailed out so that the picture isn't old news. :). Thanks to Ivan Makarov. For another year of great family photos. :D. Monday, January 7, 2013. Japan - Day 4, Part 1: Tsukiji Market. Over our whole Japan trip we took something like 1,200 pictures. A lot of those were the sights at Tsukiji Fish Market. So we contented ourselves i...

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Monday, June 15, 2015. Japan - Day 7, Part 2: Meeting Sumiko and Harumizu. We continued on to meet more relatives. As we drove up to this home, I couldn't help but notice the bonsai pots growing around. Either bonsai trees are a common hobby in Japan or it's simply common in our family. I don't remember what she said to me, but she slapped me on the knee and laughed. The details were amazing - the people walking in sun hats, the raised dirt barriers by the rice paddies, the w...

PB&J: September 2012

Pastimes of Blake and Janet. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Family Scripture Time, Alma 37:37. As part of our bedtime routine every night, we practice reciting a scripture verse, say a family prayer, and everyone gives everyone hugs. A couple nights ago, at Anson's turn Blake started to tell Anson the first words. He, like the 2-yr-old he is, said, "No. By [my]self! And then he proceeded to recite the verse without any prompting from the rest of us! Sorry, Buddy, for underestimating you! Picture Window tem...
