I'm back to work and Okasan is back for another week helping Masako with the house work. It seems common for most new Japanese mothers to stay at their parents home for up to a month after giving birth. I try my best to accept the customs here but that was one was too much for me. Masako's parents live an hour by train from us away from the city and there was no way I was either going to commute an extra 2 hours (already close to 3 hours) a day to see Frankie or just not see her until the weekends. Her parents understood my problem with that so Okasan (Masako's mother) has come to stay with us.

Frances is getting sweeter by the day. Her eyes wide open when I come home from work ready for papa to bathe and play with her.

On a side note it was my friend and coworker's birthday today, so we checked to see what other famous people share his birthday. No big names for him but for mine there was Pat Buchanan, Burt Lancaster, k.d. lang and rapper Nelly who shares not only the same birth day as me but the same year as well. Well gotta go, it's getting hot in herre
