Akira
Our second grandson
|
Hello, friends.
Are you a grandmother/grandfather?
I am.
Our second grandson Akira was born on April 7, 2008.
This is a photo journal of Akira's growth.
Please send him your best wishes.

Akira surprised his parents by starting to cry just when only his head
emerged into this world.
Big boy with thick black hair. |

Asahi is wondering. 'From where did the baby come?' |

|
 |
Mom's mother and baby. |

|
 |
Can you see something with your big black eyes, Akira? |
|
|
 |
A big yawn. |

Happy family under the Boys'Day carp. |

On the 30th day from the birth, the baby goes to the shrine to receive
God's blessing.
Harumi, Grandma, is holding the baby.
The baby wears a special Kimono, which his grandfather wore 66 years ago. |

Brothers. |

Thank you for meeting my boys.

Take care of yourself in the coming heat of summer.
See you next month again.
