We celebrated Hina Matsuri (girls day) at my ex-coworkers house! She made a big effort, and I’m so happy since I am not good at celebrating this day! And Kara topped it off by finally wearing not one, but two dresses! Mummy was very happy! I also included some photos of the amazing digger and play house her husband made! Talented! #girlsday #hinamatsuri #march3
An end of an era today, I worked at this school for 7 years and Kara went here for 2 years as a preschool student! Now she graduates preschool to go to kindergarten! I’m so thankful for all the love and energy they have built into Kara! She grew up so much thanks to them! I can’t believe she will be going to kindergarten so soon! #sakurainternationalschool #tennoji awesometeachers

Merry Christmas!!! I’m so am thankful for a healthy family this Christmas! I believe Jesus is showing up in our lives all the time, providing us with opportunities we never thought we could get, even in the middle of problems we didn’t know we were going to have! Often we are just not looking! Jesus has certainly shown up for us this holiday season and I’m thankful to have everyone home and healthy! But I don’t want to continue to miss him because I am not holding him in my heart or seeing him in my everyday. This Christmas we can fill our hearts with so many things, presents, guests, parties, romance, fun, but our hearts were made to hold God and I believe all we have to do is make space for him and for what he wants to do in or lives! And how full our lives are going to be when we let him in! 今年のクリスマスを家族みんなで健康でいれる事にとても感謝してる！ イエスはいつも私達の生活の中にいる、手に入れるなんて想像もしてなかった機会を与えてくれたり、予期してなかった問題の最中にいても！時には私達はただ見ていないだけ！ イエスは今年のホリデーに必ず現れてくれる、家族みんなで健康に過ごせて感謝してる！ でも、彼を見逃し続けたくない、だって心の中でイエスにしがみついてもいないし毎日会ってもいないから。 このクリスマス、私達はいろんな物で心を埋め尽くせる、プレゼント・ゲスト・パーティ・恋愛やその他お楽しみ、でも私達の心は神様を留めるためにあるし、私達がすることはただ神様用と私達がしたいこと用のスペースをそれぞれ準備すること！ 神様を心に受け入れた時、どれほど人生が満たされるか！ #merrychristmas #reasonfortheseason
Finally for a brief moment she wore a dress! And she love it! #belle #beautyandthebeast #bellegirl #bellecosplay #karabelle
It’s been a crazy week in the hospital! Finally she is getting better and come out on Sunday! Even though it was quite stressful and worrying at first, I’m thankful for this time to slow down and really appreciate my kids more, spend quality time, rather than just fitting them into my schedule, to really look at my kids and see what they need! I have especially had this time with Kara and I think we have all grown up so much! God gives us just what we need sometimes, even when it comes in packages that we wouldn’t otherwise choose. Sometimes we just need to slow down and appreciate what we have, we can never take our health for granted, that’s for sure!
Happy 30th birthday to my sweet Hubby! This weekend we celebrated two birthdays 30 and 3! In our house! My daughter and husband’s birthday is the same day, means super busy for me! But I love every minute of celebrating these 2! So thankful to have this man by my side in ups and downs, we keep on growing and loving life together! Proud of how much he has accomplished before reaching 30 and excited for the next 10 years! Swipe right to see the first birthday I celebrated with him, with the chocolate cake he didn’t like that melted in the middle! How much he has changed ;) and for the surprise party we had this year! #30thbirthday #hubbybirthday #birthdaylove
