Immi is a 2 year old who spends her day organizing her tiny little toys, taking walks, and playing with kitties. She won't go anywhere without her little purse. Her favorite food is cucumbers and olives. And she is obsessed with Hello Kitty and Doraemon. Take a peak into her adventures of daily life!
We are driving out to DC to meet Auntie Junko. Immi fell a sleep on the way. She always takes her shoes off in the car.

Immi really wanted the pretty blue and white porcelain tea set (a real one, not a toy) with butterflies on it. She was [...]
Immi is wearing HelloKitty ears which she got from her Ojiichan’s colleague in Japan (Hi!! Immi loves wearing it!) and eating some jellybeans.
We are at immi’s grandparents for dinner. We’ve walked to the park nearby.
Auntie Junko is here too.

Auntie Junko is visiting this weekend. Todd and his friends went out to watch UFC this evening and Immi’s brother is totally passed out tired from shopping earlier…so its basically just the three of us here enjoying tea and chocolate.
It’s auntie Junko’s birthday (on monday) and we missed celebrating father’s day last weekend (we are always a week behind with every holiday these days!) and both Todd and Junko (and me too!) wanted phở so that’s what we are having. They look like they are having a serious conversation don’t they?
…and immi is engaged [...]
Immi had a successful sleepover at her grandparents last night for the first time, though she has done this very well several times at her grandmom’s already. It makes me feel better that she’ll be fine for when we have to leave her for a bit when her little brother is to be born since [...]
We are at Jammin Java in Vienna to meet up with Auntie Junko. We haven’t seen her in a loooong time. Immi was very happy to see her (though somehow we don’t have any pictures of that…)
Here’s immi sitting at the cafe and playing with contents in her purse. These days, her purse goes through [...]
It’s my birthday today. The BIG one in which I turn 30! When Todd asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I said “go yarn shopping in Alexandria!” (there is a cute little yarn shop called Knit Happens which I’ve never been to). Unfortunately, they are CLOSED on mondays! …so I picked [...]
Todd sent me off to DC to hang out with my sister for 1/2 a day saying that he’d be most productive if I were happy and not meddling with his to-do-list:p Junko and I had a long lunch at Busboys and Poets (I had a burger, Junko had a Cobb Salad, and we both [...]
I never really cared for Valentine’s day much. The first very memorable one is actually the one shortly after immi was born. Immi was born a day after her due date, but if she wasn’t willing, she was scheduled to be born on the February 14th (I’m happy she decided to join us on her [...]
We are celbrating immi’s birthday about 12 hours early this year (Sunday is a good day for party, don’t you think?). Here is immi digging right in to her cake by pulling the pony off and licking the whipped cream!
I didn’t bake the cake, we got it from a really cute and very tasty bakery [...]
We came into DC to see Auntie Junko and then later for surprise dinner party for Alexis’ b-day. We are now at Teaism having tea and yummy treats. Here’s immi eating her crunchies and hanging out with her aunt.
We are at immi’s grandmom’s and we just finished brunch. We are hanging out in the living room and Immi is opening gifts.
We are now in the kitchen having some cookies. Immi is playing with her new baby doll from her grandmom, sort of. At the moment she is busy washing her own face with [...]
We are at ToysRus to get some diapers and to watch people do last minute holiday shopping. It’s really crowded here even though the store is closing early in less than an hour. Immi fell in LOVE when spotted this big plushie My Little Pony on the shelf. She dragged her off the shelf and [...]
We didn’t think that we’d get to see Auntie Junko again before she left to Japan for the month, but she came over tonight so that we can send her off to the airport tomorrow morning. Immi is converting her faery mushroom house into a cafe/bakery and Auntie Junko is watching. Immi is now pretending [...]
We drove in to DC to see auntie Junko since she will be traveling to Japan and will be out of town for the several weeks. She is treating us at Sushi Taro as a early holiday gift! This place is by far our favorite Japanese restaurant, and Immi absolutely enjoyed their food today! [...]
We are at immi’s grandmom’s. She is doing tea as usual.
Immi, her grandmom and Auntie Junko are frosting sugar cookies and decorating them with sprinkles (I’m staying out of the kitchen to keep germs out!). Immi discovered that she LOVES sprinkles! She is sitting on the stool picking sprinkles off the frosted cookie and eating [...]
Auntie Junko is visiting us for the four day holiday weekend. And We are making play-doh pizza! Auntie Junko and I used the molds to make pizza toppings (broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, anchovies…!!) and immi is decorating her pizza (the pizza making kit came with more pizza-like colored dohs but I haven’t opened them [...]
We missed Auntie Junko (she hasn’t been able to come stay with us in Reston since she is so busy!) so we made a very impromptu trip to DC to see her. We are at Teaism, of course. Todd and I are having bubble tea and Junko is having chai tea. Immi got a free [...]
It’s been a sad several weeks for our family, first with my maternal grandfather passing on, and then Todd’s cousin-in-law (I never had a chance to meet them but I thought of his new little family often because they had a daughter very shortly after Immi was born), and then this past weekend, my paternal [...]
