A New Baby 2 / 赤ちゃん誕生2

杏 (Japanese = An, English = Ann) Mooney was born 11:36 a.m. March 10th (JST). 

She weighed 3,300 grams and was 50.4 centimeters at the time. 

I drove Tomo to the hospital around 10:30 a.m. and she gave birth soon afterwards. I was not there however, because I had the flue and was told to go home. Ray was also sick. Tomo's parents came up and helped out immensely while Tomo and Ann were in the hospital.

2月・February

In February...
...we went for a walk...

Tomo's friend, Komeko-san, and Yuki moved to another prefecture...

Ray learned to speak and "read" in simple sentences. 
It's mostly Japanese, but occasionally he'll drop an English word or two...

 Ray got sick and was in the hospital for six days...

We went to check out some Tori in Kashima...

...and we visited Katori-Jingu, in Chiba.

毎年1月2日のお昼頃参拝するけど今年は人出が多かった
