Greetings from the Far East!

Mari (age 3) is wearing Kimono on the occasion of traditional Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) devotional visit to a Shinto shrine to celebrate her age of 3 years (somehow, it happened to be on Christmas Eve; formally, it should be on Nov.15 but busy days did not allow us).

Tak (age 8) grows rapidly.  Now he is as tall as mother’s shoulder (and weighs as heavy..).

Misa (age ?) still chasing around kids, miraculously keeping herself sane, healthy and happy.

Shiro (age 38) gaining weight and losing hair, and (still) trying to balance research, education and child rearing.

Best wish from Uesugi’s!

Shiro, Misa, Tak, Mari
