Happy Mother’s Day to our moms and all the amazing hardworking moms out there!!! Hope you all are having a great weekend filled with love and laughter.

Mili made me the best present :) I am so happy and so proud to be her mama! Thank you, Mili!

Also, Randy got me some pretty flowers and made me a french toast this morning. What a lucky mom I am! Thank you!

This little girl struggled with high fever this week, ended with rosaola rash, still has some rash on her body, but I am so grateful she is better now!

It’s been a bit rainy since yesterday, but I took a little walk this afternoon after the rain. It’s getting greener around here! I saw lots of pink petals on the ground, too, it was pretty.

Mili’s been sick since Tuesday… I hope she feels better really soon…

Found this on Water Street next to the Tobacco warehouse. There are so many graffiti art on that wall, I love walking by there. This one was added recently, caught my eye.

Children’s Day 2013

May 5th is a Children’s Day in Japan. This year, at Mili’s home school and playgroup, Mili made a Koinobori (above) and I helped her make a kabuto (the traditional Japanese military helmet) with a newspaper (below). I used to make these when I was little at school, it’s really awesome to get to do this all over again with my own kid now! Happy Children’s Day, Mili!
