Shana and Auntie Suzanne

Shana has grown quite a bit since she was born. Here she with her jetsetting, doula-in-waiting Auntie Suzanne. Suzanne's first babysitting duty was to escort Granny-san from Tokyo to San Francisco. She was right there in the thick of things during labor and a great help before and afterwards. A big thanks to Suzanne for making the path to parenthood a lot smoother. Shana is very lucky Mommy and Suzanne went to grad school together.

Shana and Granddad

Granddad is busy at work tending to the garden. The poor garden has been neglected since the princess arrived and demanded all our attention.



Here is Granddad with the little lady.
