Megumi's Blog Returns

Megumi's blog was all about motherhood, and bringing up Rosie. She started posting again on Friday, and puts a picture or two on there every day.

She also asked me to explain about the name Sumire. When we discussed it, I mentioned that the Brit side of the family might have trouble with the pronunciation. There is no re ('ray') ending to words in English, hence hire, dire, and even tire all have the same 'ire' pronunciation. Anyway, I jokingly suggested that some British scholteacher might pronounce it 'smile' 5 or 10 years down the line. Megumi liked that, and that's what tilted the final decision in favour of Sumire for the Japanese name.

So, a smiling violet angel has just joined the family!
