Sunday in Tokyo

It was a nice day in Tokyo today. Tokyo is actually very sunny during the wintertime, and as the air becomes colder and more crisp, the usual haze seems to dissipate, and you can see from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji on some days.

Today, we went out to eat with Shinako's parents to celebrate her father's retirement from his job. We ate at our usual (or at least I wish it were! The New York Grill at the Park Hyatt), and the view was beautiful as usual.

The big news for us this week was that Shinako's new business venture finally opened. It's an online store called Baby Purple, and it focuses on the sale of European and American clothing for babies. The site is in Japanese, but please check it out when you have a chance ( http://www.rakuten.co.jp/babypurple/). You may recognize the baby picture at the top of the site!

Rhianna has been doing fine and is very happy and healthy. She has another health checkup coming up soon, and I'm sure she will receive a good report. I'll include a few pictures from the past several weeks.
