Garr and Nathan pulled down the deck and its stairs (half torn by a typhoon back in 2005) of the annex building of our house yesterday in just 3 hours!
Isaac was watching them work and calling "Papa" and "Garr" from the deck outside of the living room.

First thing he did this morning after waking up was...
Yea, we have a very serious skier in our house! He must have got it in his genes surely from his grandma in the States!
Neither Nathan nor I use poles (we use short skis), so Isaac must have picked it up by looking at other skiers in Hokkaido.

Went to a nearby zoo (30min. drive from our house). Rather small but Isaac enjoyed it very much.
Left: mimicking a koala.
Middle: At the elephants' place. Mama elephant greeted the crowd.

In Japan, we have the Girls' Day (aka Doll Festival) which is March 3rd and the Boys' Festival (commonly mentioned as Children's Day) which is May 5th. People celebrate and pray for the healthy growth of their children.

It is a little early for the Boys' Festival but we are already celebrating and praying for Isaac's healthy growth displaying those cute ornaments (above).
Isaac will turn 2 in May. We are so grateful for his being healthy, happy, curious, adventurous, sweet and tender and everything!

Went skiing in Niseko, Hokkaido (northern island of Japan).
Seems every household is not complete without a bulldozer there.
"Papa, we've gotta get one too!"

First encounter with a real penguin! (from a zoo in Sapporo), ducks,
pig, goats, lama, emus! Isaac had fun visiting them probably more than
skiing...

We also did a short horse riding in the forest. That was a great fun! Nathan and Isaac rode a big horse called Mathew and Kayo on Cheyenne.

Isaac's first skiing! We took a gondola up and did a wonderful (slow) run. We had a great time!

Isaac grouping penguins - collecting penguins from different places: magnets, Lego, and blocks. He calls them "Peh". He does the same for his favorite animals such as horses, elephants, and lions.
He also likes to flip through encyclopedia and National Geographic magazines for animal pictures. When he sees pages with no picture, he says "Nah, nah".
We go for a walk every day in the neighborhood.
Exploring the land no man has set foot in...
Wow, snow is getting deep...
Is Mama following me?
