Children's Day and Mom's Day

On May 5th we celebrated Children's Day, a day for the health and happiness of children. In Japan families celebrate with a Boys' Festival and fly carp streamers for each boy of the house. The carp is a fish of great strength and determination and representS the courage and ability of young boys to attain success.



In the spirit of this day Jeremy has been hard at work reaching many goals. He has mastered his "army crawl" and now pulls himself up to standing. He's a little cocky at times, reaching for things and ends up "face-planting". But, he is a determined little guy and always tries again and again. He's also started to enjoy the swings and cruising on his bike.

We just celebrated our first Mom's Day too. Jeremy and John spoiled mom rotten with breakfast in bed, yummy treats, and a time alone with a relaxing massage. It was a beautiful day.
