January came with the anticipation of our new baby. I was able to experience my first snow in January. Snows are very rare in this part of Japan and I was lucky enough to witness my first snow. I was heavy then with child. All 36 weeks and all! My hubby also found a new and better job that month. And we were busy house-hunting for a new and bigger home.
May is my hubby's birth month. We celebrated it simply at home with a dinner and then visited Showa Kinen Park the next day.
June was the birth month of this blog! Thanks to a good friend who convinced me, I met lots of great bloggers and good friends too! We also went to Tokyo Disneyland with baby Sam in tow!
Lucy, our Subaru Legacy Wagon arrived in August. We named her so just because... :D I also had my first Obon experience and even participated in the Obon Odori during the neighborhood celebration. It was a blast! Sam had on her baby version of the yukata. It was the height of summer and it was very warm that she just slept in her Daddy's arms despite the loud drum beats!
September is Autumn and Sam had her first zoo experience at Zoorasia. She had fun watching the wild animals. She especially liked hanging around with the penguins! Hubby and I also celebrated our ten years anniversarry as friends and lovers. Mushy!
November saw me not blogging here. There had been problems with the service provider you see. But my baby Sam got her new blog called Samantha's Own and my, was she a success! Go check it out!
December is our first Christmas a family! Sam is surely growing up and the family will soon embark on a new journey in a new land next year. We sure are looking forward to what's in store next year!
Hope the year 2009 will bring us more blessings of joy, peace, love and good health, not just for our family but to other families in all corners of the world as well!
GOD Bless you MORE in 2009!
