Poppy viewing...

We went to the park today for HANAMI. ( cherry blossom viewing) There were no blossoms yet but there were MANY grannies! Here are as many that could fit in the picture. More off to the sides but mum couldn't fit them in. I think today should have been called 'POPPY viewing' day!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just how cute can I get?

Remember...

Remember to have a look @ past posts 'cause Mum is working backwards at times...

Here's me, my dad & Yukika & her dad.
Once again we had to say goodbye! Yukika & her family are moving to Hokkaido... we are sad because we love them. We will go and visit them @ christmas time & our dads will go snowboarding together. We will miss you & GOOD LUCK!

Back/Front

Here's the back/front. Mel is off to Italy soon, after her little stop over in O.Z. So she needs a shrine she can fit in her bag!

Melsy's Mini Shrine.

My Mum made this 'Mini Shrine' for Melsy as a going away pressy.

Lovely Melsy...

Here is Melsy & Me, the pretty poppy she gave me as a present & the beautiful photograph she took & gave to our family...

Saying goodbye to this one was tough!

See ya soon Melsy! Love POPPY. xx

Melsy's Photo!

Mel gave this photo to us. She took it herself!

My boyfriend Finn!

Me & my boyfriend Finn.

Mum, My Ma-kun & I all went to Tokyo on the weekend to see Melsy's photo exhibition @ 'Festa Gallery' in Harajuku. It was really ACE! Mel is a really talented photographer, watch out for her stuff over in OZ. She's gunna be famous. We had to say goodbye the next day 'cause Mel's going back to OZ on Tuesday. Mum & My Ma-kun had a hard time with it too. Everyone's going back to OZ!

We also made friends with Deanne & Masao at the gallery. They are super cool! We love them!

We went to apply for my passport so I can go to OZ with Mum & My Ma-kun in August. The ladies at the embassy thought I was really cute...

I caught up with my boyfriend Finn. We love each other and one day we will get married. Our Mum's have already decided to breed us! A BIG thank-you to Aunty Kel, Uncle Tats & my boyfriend for showing us such a good time. We'll be back!

Happy Birthday to 'B' for the 14th!

Health Check.

Me and 'Wolfy'...

I tried to sit up today while in my seat. I'm doing these little ab crunch thingys in preparation for the big day! We also went to the midwife's today, I am currently 58.5cm tall & I weigh 3.9kg.
I'm 'A' O.K! Love POPPY. xx.

Nakanishi's are coming!

We had a call from the lovely Nakanishi family in Osaka yesterday. Hi-chan & Ko-chan are speaking English like it's their first language! (well almost!) Yumi was saying that they are going to come for a visit very soon. We are all very excited! Check out Yumi's stuff here: http://oaoa.chu.jp/ OAOA is great!

We also had a mail from Aunty Jodie, her life is very cool right now, her business is going really well, check her out here: www.muddrum.com.au MUDDRUM is great too!

We went to visit the Oishi's last night. Their grandaughter Sakura-chan was there too. She is seven months old and looks like a little doll. So cute! Well I'm really hungry so I'm going to find my mum...

Love POPPY. XX

P.S. More photos soon!

Here I am!

Yum!

Yummy!

This is the yummy paela we ate at Kumiko-san's house. Her husband cooks up this fabulous dish once or twice a year and Mum & 'My Ma-kun' get to eat it with friends. This time I get some too, even if it is second hand!

Love POPPY. xx.

Wolfy is a girl's best friend!

Me & 'Wolfy'.

I decided that I was big enough to start playing with 'Wolfy' today. I really enjoy sucking on his nose and paws. I'm not quite big enough to balance him on my head yet so 'My Ma-kun' helped me out. I think my timing was pretty good seeing as yesterday was "Hina Matsuri"!

See-ya, Love POPPY. xx.

Hina Matsuri.

Me, Kanako & her dolls.

Here is my friend Kanako & I standing in front of her dolls for Hina Matsuri. It's a doll's festival over here & my first one! I have dolls too but no steps to put them on so the big set stayed in the cupboard. I have three sets of the Emporer & Emporess that Mum put out for me so I'm pretty happy. I hope she packs them up tomorrow 'cause if you leave them out to long they reckon your daughters won't get married. I wonder if marriage will even be an option when I'm big enough to care?...

Love POPPY. XX.

P.S. Kanako just got back from Canada & her English is FANTASTIC!

Have a great time!

Me , Sa-chan & Kalin.

I'm a bit sad today 'cause Sa-chan & Kalin are leaving us to live in OZ. Sad for us, really exciting for them!
All of us wish them the very best, they will be missed but I have a feeling we will see them again soon. Until then...

Love POPPY.xx.
