Parking Garages and Japan Trips

We were in a parking garage the other day, and I told John that underground parking garages always remind me of going to Japan, because we would stay in the Hilton and leave our car in the garage. The only other parking garage I ever went to when we were little was the one at the mall, but it didn't have that same echo and parking garage smell.

Other memories of Japan trips? Leave comments!

When Alexis Kei was born

 Eimi, you'll need to write more about this when you get a chance. But I'll start with what I remember...

Eimi had been in labor for a while and we were all on pins and needles waiting for Alexis! Mom finally sent me home and told me to go to sleep because Alexis wasn't coming any time soon. I was woken up at around 6am by a phone call saying they were going to do a c-section and to head over to the hospital. When I got there, we still couldn't see anyone, so we went out to breakfast. And I recall when I got back that Eimi was mad at us for going to breakfast without her, and not even bringing her anything! She had a good point, since she was the one doing this:





First feeding.




The proud grandparents 

Sleepy Grandpa Takao, in love with his first grandbaby!

 Darlingest newborn picture ever. Such angels (both of them!).

When Keishi was born, picture version.

You can read Keishi's blurb here. In this edition, we actually get to see Mom in labor! She is looking rather perky, don't you think?


Mr. Kermit himself.






And these pictures are labeled as being later the same day. Is that true mom? He is looking a little too big and too awake in those bottom photos to be less than a day old...








When Meg was born, picture version.

Mom's description is in this post. There is all of one picture of Mom expecting me, and she is not showing her belly =)


Brand new:



I might look a little like Daddy in this one.
