Ganeshさんのところで見て 面白そうなので家族全員の家紋をジェネレートしてみました。綾鷹家紋ジェネレーターはここ。

still in the process of unpacking but here are some moved in pics...
so, here are some pics of the new place before we've moved in...
since we are moving at the end of the month we want to take every opportunity to reduce the number of things we are actually going to take with us to the new house. case in point, the munchkin's bed. she had graduated from her crib a while ago...that was when she started standing in her crib and started thinking trying to climb out was a good idea. we had gotten her a toddler bed but she didn't take to that very well. she had been sleeping on a twin bed with the box spring on the floor (no frame) but that mattress was getting old so we figured she'd get a new bed when we moved into the new house. but then we started thinking how was this 21 month old going to adjust to a new place from the only home she's known? not only would she be in a new home and new room but she'd be sleeping in a completely unfamiliar bed? so, based on the theory that we want to minimize the trauma she might be confronted with we figured we'd get her her new bed prior to the move. it would give her a few weeks to get familiar with her new bed which would be in her new room at the new house.
well, that led us to ikea last weekend to pick out a bed for her. now, choujyo sleeps in a full bed that we also picked up from ikea when we moved two years ago and since the wife and i like to make sure the girls have the same things the munchkin got a full as well. so, once we'd picked up the bed, brought it home and got it assembled the munchkin was ready for her first night in her new big bed.
getting her down that first night was no problem. she didn't seem to mind that she was sleeping in a new bed. the interesting part came later that night. i should mention the fact that the munchkin rolls around in her sleep quite a bit so her falling off of the bed was a concern. we chose a bed that was low enough that it was easy for her to climb on herself and so a possible fall would be fairly painless. the bed rails we had been using with the twin bed didn't set up right with the bed frame so we decided to pass on those and just piled up some pillows on either edge of the bed and hoped those would prevent her from rolling off. well, later that night i went to check on her thinking the worst would be that i'd find her asleep on the floor. i quietly entered her room and looked at the center of her bed where i had left her...no munchkin. figuring she might have fallen off i then looked over to the floor beside the bed...no munchkin. holy cow! where'd she go? i have to admit there was a moment of confusion. now i had to carefully look around the room to figure out where she'd rolled off to. she was actually still on the bed but she had rolled almost to the foot of the bed with her top half actually hanging off the side of the bed! i quickly slid her back to the center of the bed and reset the pillows along the edges with some additional blankets.
well, since that first night we haven't had any more close calls (knock on wood). speaking of which i better go look in on the munchkin.
on tap for tomorrow...choujyo's very first piano recital. she started taking piano lessons with miss amy about a year ago. tomorrow she'll be playing "hush little baby."
that was a long day but the girls got to see so many people today and grub on some favorites in the old neighborhood. we had lunch with the wife's parents (referred to as grandma and grandpa) and the wife's brother was able to join us before we left. we had lunch at the loft - we just love their island fried chicken. the wife had an appointment at the hair salon so while she was having her hair done the girls and i went and visited with my aunt and uncle. after that we swung by my parent's (referred to obaachan and ojiichan) place since we were going to have dinner with them to celebrate obaachan's birthday. one thing we inevitably end up doing while back in our old stomping grounds is we end up stocking up on some japanese groceries so before dinner we did some shopping at nijiya market and marukai. dinner was at akane chaya for some wafu (和風=japanese style) pasta.
today was a craft party at a local michaels. the girls each got to decorate a jewelry box. first they painted their boxes and then they got to decorate them. everybody seemed like they had a good time and choujyo was excited that everyone had come. couple of minor planning bugs but all-in-all a good b-day party for choujyo.
