Sophia’s Turning one!

Cora’s little friend Sophia is turning one soon and we helped celebrate her birthday this weekend. She was loving her birthday cake and got lots of fun toys!

 

Cake Coma!!!!! 

Cora: “Now what do we do?”

Sophia: “How am I supposed to know, I’m just a baby.”

Cora: “Let’s just stare at it until someone opens it for us.”

Romans 5:1-4

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

 

Know that God is with us always and that even the bad stuff in our life is for a purpose.

Hanging Out

Cora loves going out on our balcony and watching the activities of the day. She watches the cars and people go by and the kids play on the playground that is located to the right of our house.

Now that it is warming up, she likes to people watch in her most natural state…naked!

Once again Cora, you are welcome! Mommy loves you and your little tushy!

Cherry Blossoms

Peter took off a little early from work Tuesday and we went to the Kintai bridge to see all the pretty cherry blossoms. It was a lovely afternoon. Lots of pictures people!

Vendors.

The famous Kintai bridge

Walking over the bridge

Quick family photo

Ice cream? Don’t mind if I do!

We went with cherry to stick with the theme of the day!

They decided to switch families!

Oyster cream puff. We heard they were tasty so we had to give it a shot!

Headed back over the bridge to our side of town.

Local Park

We went to the park with our new friends Olivia and Bridget this past week. We played in the grass and on the slide. We soaked up some sun and fed the pretty coy fish.
