Christmas at Church

I got a picture of all my kids at church today, plus a son-in-law (Jackson) and minus a daughter (Becca).  She's spending the holidays in Japan with her friends. ❤️ I'm thankful for kids who love God & their family.  Merry Christmas! 💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️

Japanese Cuisine

Becca keeps sending me pictures of what she's eating in Japan, and I'm thinking maybe I should find a way to visit...you know, because I miss her...

Becca's Birthday

I've had a busy week and forgot to post about Becca's birthday.  She says she had a great day celebrating with her new friends!  We're missing her, but we're glad she's enjoying language school and Japanese culture.

The Sound of Music

Taking the kids to a production of one of my favorite plays!  Some of their friends are in the performance.  It's opening night! 😃



Japanese Cuisine

Becca has been eating well in Japan!  She's enjoying local cuisine and also learning to cook traditional fare.







Pi Day

My kids reminded me that today is a special day! Thankfully, I had all the basic ingredients. Yum!
