Grand mother's 88th Birthday

On 1st Nov, we cerebrated Kengo's grandmothers 88th birthday at his parents' home with a lot of relatives.

This cerebration, so-called "Beiju" in Japan, is one of the most commemorative event for elder people.

His grandmother has no bad tooth, of course no lack of tooth, no illnesses, good eyes, few grey hairs and better ears than us. Is she old?

The pounding rice, so-called "Mochi-tsuki", is traditional event for Japanese people when carebrate a festival or feast. In this case, we wish her long healthy life. Probably including our new baby's auspicious future as well...

Helicopter festival

This is the annual festival in Tateyama Air Base.

We had conducted a ceremonial formation flight and some acrobatic performance flight. There were successfully finished and pleased by visiters.

I was the leader of formation flight consisted of 5 choppers.

Okinoshima-island

Our naval flat is closed to Tateyama Air Base which belongs to a shore. On the sunny day, we can see the Mt. Fuji, and there are a lots of visiters for sea bathing in the summer.

Today, my wife felt good, so we went to the Okinoshima-island with lunch box for picnik.

First Cooking

The morning sickness made her hard to cook, so I tried to cook the first curry. It was not good as my wife's one, but worked out. Really tasty!

Happy pregnancy!!

Finally, we'd got a new life, after 7 years waiting since we married. We still feel unbelievableness of this blessing from God. Great thanks!
