Celebrating her







































Now, after a month's delay after the official date, we celebrated our daughter with a ceremony, champagne, delicious food and announced finally her name: Lumi Iiris Anni Päiväläinen [please, click the image].

Lumi Iiris a.k.a 'Snow Iris' can be also translated into Japanese: 'Yuki Ayame'. Riitta ordered 50 bright white Irises for the evening! We are very grateful to helpful grandmothers because they did most of the kitchen work...

Mother is feeling better, but this is not over yet. We are very thankful for our friends' warm thoughts: all the e-mails, calls and SMS messages. –Not to mention our special friends in Tokyo, who sent us an exclusive set of chocolate via London!
