Wordless Wednesday {linky party}: Aki's Traditional Japanese Wedding in Kanazawa

We were in Japan the past 1.5 weeks so I didn't have time to take photos for the Joys of Parenting series, sorry! Hope you enjoyed the photos from the highlight of our trip - Aki and Toshi's wedding in Kanazawa! It was a beautiful traditional Japanese wedding where Aki wore the white shiromuku {白無垢} and red uchikake {打掛} kimonos... gorgeous!

So happy Lil Pumpkin and I could have been there to share your joy. Wishing the both of you a long and blessed marriage! ご結婚おめでとうございます。新しい人生のスタートにあたり、これからの
長い道のりをお二人で力を合わせて進まれることを、心よりお祈りいたします。明るく楽しい家庭を築いてください。

Bub & Me: Happy Father's Day 2013!! #dadsforlife

Lil Pumpkin and I are still in Japan, but before we left, we made a little handmade gift for the boy for Father's Day. Surprise my dear!!! Sorry that we aren't able to spend the day with you {no chance for you to attend Lil Pumpkin's Father's Day celebration in preschool again} but we wanted to at least give you something to mark the special day :)

It was a mad rush before we left for the hols to settle work, plan our travel itinerary and schedule blog posts, so I didn't have time to head out with Lil Pumpkin to buy a gift. I'm sure the boy appreciates gifts made with love anyway.

I asked Lil Pumpkin "what's daddy's favourite colour?" and she said "blue" {actually it's green}, so she painted the background of this mini canvas in blue. I asked Lil Pumpkin "what animal does daddy remind you of?" and she said "a lion!" so I drew the circus lion {pardon my kiddy drawing!}. I showed her a few photos of lions and she like this one so I based my drawing on it. I think she chose lion because both of them like to pretend to be lions and roar all over the house ahaha

Lil Pumpkin helped paint parts of the lion while I tidied it up a little. Took us just about 1.5hrs and I'm so happy with the result. Hope the boy likes it too!

Happy Father's Day Poogeo! 
See you soon tonight!

P.S. The lion painting is hidden in the bottom right shelf of Lil Pumpkin's kitchen set. Behind the platter of "bread". Go find it! :P

Blog Break | Back to Japan for a Wedding & Kansai Travels!!

We're in Japan again, this time for Aki's wedding! Yay!!! She and her okasan came down to Singapore to attend our wedding a few years back, and we're {well, just Lil Pumpkin and me since the boy couldn't come due to work} so happy to be able to attend and celebrate her wedding with her too in Kanazawa :) After the wedding we'll head down to travel around beautiful Kansai - Osaka, Kyoto {oh my love!}, Kobe and Nara. So excited to have Lil Pumpkin there for the first time since her last few trips were to Tokyo, and for my friends living there to finally meet our darling girl.

It's time to rest, relax and focus on the family again and I'll be taking a little blog break. The regular Wordless Wednesday feature will still be on though... don't forget to link up if you have a WW post! I'll probably post a few updates on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and you can connect with me there if you are interested in our Japanese travels :)

Oh, if you'd like to support us in the Singapore Blog Awards again this year, please do. Appreciate it very much :) Have a good June hols everyone! Catch up again when we are baaaaaack!! ^^V
