zzzzzzzz......anybody there?

I don't know if there is a single person visiting our outdated blog... I know I haven't been very good about updating the page... and the babies have grown a lot since the last post...
Since I know that I'm not a good blogger, I decided that it was going to work better if I keep you updated with pictures... so here we go!!!


Here we are at the Dallas Arboretum, at the same place we got married in February '05


With obaachan Eiko, who came to visit (and help) us.

Por fin llego Obaachan de Lima

Luego de muchos contratiempos debido al mal tiempo, finalmente Obaachan llego el domingo, (un dia despues del programado) a Dallas para conocer a Matisse y Asaya. Esperemos que no los engria mucho...
Obaachan tuvo que pasar una noche en Atlanta ya que los vuelos de Miami a Dallas se cancelaron... pero segun me comento, ha aprendido a viajar sola... asi que esperamos que ahora se anime a visitarnos mas seguido...

Un 2006 inolvidable

yo se... yo se que ya han pasado varios dias, pero desde este rinconcito queriamos desearles un feliz 2007...

el 2006 se fue rapidisimo, pero nos trajo dos bellos regalitos...

asaya y matisse estan creciendo rapidamente y aunque todavia no nos dejan dormir en la noche, realmente podemos decir que estamos disfrutando esta etapa como "mommy & papi " primerizos.

ha sido un 2006 de nuevas experiencias, pasando 5 semanas en el hospital con compra de nuestra casita incluida, un nuevo trabajo para yoko, 3 diferentes trabajos para mi ... trips a florida y houston... en fin, la hemos pasado muy bien y se que lo que nos espera en el futuro va a ser mucho mejor...

The Photo Shoot

Matisse thought his baby sister's hand was dinner.
Momma and Obachan provided the 'stars' with a well deserved dinner.
Kickin' up their feet after a long night!

Pedacito de Cielo...

La otra noche, Asaya y Matisse no querian dormir... hasta que Yoko los acomodo junto a su barriguita... fue alli cuando ella me desperto y me dijo: "Miralos, toma una foto". Solamente queriamos compartir este momento con ustedes...

Baby Pillow or Pillow Baby?

It was 12-12-06 at 4:30 AM. Obachan took the night off and Eric and I have been up hour after hour. Normally, both babies wake-up around the same time to feed but they must have know that Obachan was out of the house so they decided to alternate wake times every hour.

I just placed Matisse in his manger and was in bed trying to rest my body. Asaya started to grumble and I looked to Eric (to see if he would react to her). He was sleeping on his back with his arms crossed on top of his chest with a small pillow. As Asaya grumbled I noticed that Eric began patting his chest as if he was trying to sooth her. *Let me remind you that Asaya was in her bed sleeping.

A few seconds after her little grumble...became a full out cry! Eric popped up and began walking at the foot of the bed. He was not headed toward the side sleeper at all! What the heck is he doing??? He had his arms cradled...he was looking down...and he was patting an object as if he was holding a baby. As he turned towards me I noticed that he was half a sleep cradling that silly pillow in his arms!

"Eric...ERic...ERIC! You are not holding Asaya. You are holding a pillow!" He finally snapped out of his trance or sleep walking episode and realized what he was doing.

Boy, the life of a Rookie Papi can be quite amusing...

Esperando...

El sábado pasado, Sayuri y Aiko organizaron el "babies shower" de Yoko... al ver todos los regalos y la ropita para los babies, uno se da cuenta que cada vez está más cerca la fecha en que vamos a tener a dos nuevos angelitos en la familia...
A veces me preguntan:"Estás nervioso?" o "Estás listo para 2 bebes?" y yo contesto medio en broma, medio en serio: "Si" y "No sé si estoy listo siquiera para uno"... Creo que es normal estar nervioso, sobre todo cuando vamos a comenzar "la gran aventura de nuestras vidas". Pero tenemos la completa confianza en que todo a va ir bien.
Yoko y yo sabemos que vamos a ir aprendiendo a ser "mamá y papá"...

30 weeks!


30 weeks belly...

Saturday, October 07, 2006

7 months + 1 week

In this picture you can see the "little belly"... we are at a wine tasting event (Yoko drank water in a wine glass) organized by Yoko's office. She received a lot of compliments on the dress and the belly... Eric also received a compliment on his glasses. This woman told him that they looked very European! Sheek!
En esta foto pueden ver la "barriguita"... acá estamos en un evento organizado por el trabajo de Yoko. Ella recibió muchos halagos por el vestido y la barriguita...Eric también recibió un elogio por sus lentes. Una señora le dijo que sus lentes se veían muy europeos :)

Reencuentro con buenos amigos...

El día domingo fuimos a Houston para encontrarnos con Dani y Nayi que vinieron desde Kanagawa (Japón) y que están de visita por estos lares. Ese día salimos a las 5 am, y llegamos a la casa del tío de Nayi como a las 9:30am. Ellos todavía estaban durmiendo porque la noche anterior habían ido a un matrimonio (oops!).
Realmente estuve feliz de reencontrarme, después de muchos años, con buenos amigos y de poder presentarles a Yoko (y los babies). Pasamos un lindo día conversando, comiendo y de compras...Yo sé que habrán oportunidades en el futuro para poder volvernos a ver...

ouch!

Last monday morning, I discovered that some "dee dee dee" (~_~)!!! keyed (or maybe i should say knifed) my ELEMENT!!!!
I tried to cover it with some touch up paint and tried to polish it but I didn't get the results I expected... You can still see the scratch!!! That really made me mad, but I guess you can find stupidity and nonsense all over the world... I decided just to let it go, because there are more important things happening in my life these days than being mad with someone that doesn't really worth it.

It's been a while...

After a while we're updating the blog...

La semana pasada fuimos a la doctora y todo, felizmente, esta dentro de lo normal. Los babies estaban pesando 2.4 lb y 2.11 lb. Estos días uno realmente puede ver como se mueven, especialmente cuando Yoko esta descansando...

Este domingo tenemos que ir temprano a Houston, ya que Dani & Nayi van a visitar a unos familiares y vamos a aprovechar para encontrarnos.

Pasando a otro tema, esta semana hemos estado haciendo diversos tramites, ya que estamos pensando comprar una casita. Ya hicimos una oferta... vamos a ver como nos va.

We're going to have a baby boy... and a baby girl!!!

Hoy por la mañana fuimos al Medical City Dallas Hospital a visitar al doctor Weiss, especialista en embarazos múltiples, para realizar más ecografías.
Felizmente los babies están creciendo normalmente. Ya son 23 semanas y 2 días y cada uno esta pesando 1.5 libras aproximadamente... hace 2 semanas nos enteramos que vamos a tener twins y que uno de ellos es baby boy... hoy día el doctor nos confirmó que vamos a tener una baby girl también. Como podrán imaginarse, estamos muy felices y emocionados con esta noticia...
En 2 semanas tenemos que visitar nuevamente a la doctora Patton en el Methodist Medical Center...
