March 3 is Girls’ Day in Japan. Big Sister is now in college in the U.S. Here she is at age 9 with her hina matsuri dolls and Little Brother (5) and our dog, May. This is her first Girls’ Day away from home.

And this is the first picture I’ve posted of Big Sister and Little Brother. I never posted any photos of them on the internet because Papa warned me about security. He always told me that we are easy to find. But now, those guys don’t look like that at all. Except for the dog. She looks the same. Maybe a little fatter.
