Zach awry in Japan

10 July 2008 Playing by the Lake Then and Now

We live about a kilometer away from the biggest lake in Japan, lake Biwa (about the size of lake Tahoe), and yet we rarely go there. Whenever we do, though, it’s always lots of fun. I’m hoping we end up spending more and more time in and by the lake as Genbo and Zoe get older.

The other day we went down to the shore and Genbo and Zoe had a ball. It reminded me of what might have been the last time, which was almost exactly a year ago. Hard to believe.

I haven’t posted for a long time, and I now have a suped-up customized posting system courtesy of Jeffrey, so this is going to be a long one.

First, Genbo on the way to the beach this time.

Almost the exact same shot one year ago

Now compare this Zoe…

With this one. Hard to believe it’s the same creature

Growing up means adventure!

Which sometimes means mishap!

“Genbo, I know the waves keep washing it ashore, but whill you stop throwing that empty beer can into the lake!”

Zoe is happy to play with mommy on the grass

Mother and daughter

A rascal…

…But one who loves his sister
