last day of 2009!

Happy End of the Year! We are having sushi at immi’s favorite place. She is no longer really cheap here though since she wants to look at the menu, and then grab whatever she pleases from the conveyor belt… She wanted blueberries and strawberries and creampuff along with her usual cucumber roll and miso-soup.

At the [...]

market

We went out for a drive (<– is my new blog! Todd built it for me, and I’ve been modifying the wordpress .php and .css and it’s not done but nonetheless — I won’t have to crowd immi blog with non-immi photos!) to Multinomah Falls and on the way back, we stopped by the [...]

winter holiday!

Immi and I are decorating gingerbread cookies (I got inspired by my friend who was building the most amazing gingerbread house. Hi Allie!! I didn’t bake these though, and they are person shaped because they were sold out of gingerbread house kits…). Immi is not much help, she just wants to eat the cookies.

Here Immi [...]

buttons

Todd’s friend is in town for the holidays and we met up in Stumptown Coffee in downtown. The super nice barista offered immi a cup of whipped cream (lucky immi!) she even sprinkled cocoa powder on top!

After the coffee we went to the Button Emporium and Ribbonry. The shop looks like it would be the [...]

saturday

We are having sushi at Sushi Hana, the conveyor belt sushi place. Immi loves this place because it’s fun to watch colorful plates of sushi endlessly roll on by. Immi is a cheap date here costing $2 ($1 for soup and $1 for cucumber rolls).

We stopped in for bubble tea nearby Trader Joes. Immi is [...]

french toast

We are having Saturday coffee at Beveland once again. Immi is doing stickers.

She is having French Toast!

She’s been unusually temperamental the past few days. When I asked her not to wipe maple syrupy hands on her clothes, she got upset (I wasn’t trying to take grumpy immi picture, this happened as I happen to snap [...]

going glass :)

Immi is having rice with kastuobushi and soy sauce for snack (it’s her favorite food!!).

Over past few years, we’ve been trying to gradually reduce the amount of plastic we ‘consume’. We’ve replaced all our plastic tupperwares for glass ones, minimized drinking plastic bottled water etc. etc. but immi’s dinnerwares remained plastic. Now, there’s obvious reason [...]

immi says…

I haven’t metioned immi’s linguistic developement much partly because there’s really no photo that would go with it, and other part because it’s been much the same for a long time. Shes been saying a whole lot of words, mostly just important ones — ice cream, pickles, tea, popcorn, rice, cookie, balloon — but not [...]

saturday

…As it turns out, we live basically right across from (but hidden behind trees and such, and we couldn’t see it until recently) a really nice cafe (a total dream come true!!) called Beveland St Bistro and Coffee House. It’s really nice here, yummy sandwich and soup, and coffee is good too. Immi really liked [...]
