Halloween is Coming!

Halloween is coming up so we have planned a little trick or treat event with some kids in the neighborhood. We will also attend the fall festival at my last school on the 25th and it is a costume event too. Since Sumire is infatuated with dogs right now, we got her a dog costume - we almost got the one Haley will be wearing this year!

We visited the Itakura's again so Sumire had another go at the auto piano. The other shots are just fun in the bath and one of our new lawn that is coming in nicely!

Sumire's Commercial

As many of you know, Sumire's first commercial is on air until the spring. This month it is being shown on a show called Nijiiro Jean on Fuji TV (Ch8 in Tokyo) sometime between 830 and 10am. The past 3 weeks it was aired between 930&10. The show airing the commercial will change each month though and I dont know the schedule for October yet.
The company is a skin care/lotion company and Sumire is in the ad for their baby line of products.
Here is a clip taken today. Enjoy.
