We have lived in Okinawa 4 years now, and today was our 5th time to see sakura (cherry blossom trees)! You can only see the blooms for about 2 weeks, but somehow each year we have managed to have a 'sakura day' where we spend time together as a family and enjoy God's beautiful creation on our island. We're really bad at keeping track of how the boys grow on a regular basis(height, weight, etc.), but we do have pictures of them every year with sakura. :) It's so fun to look back and see how they have changed. Each year's pictures bring back wonderful memories - we are so blessed!
Sakura 2010 - we had only been in Okinawa a few weeks, and I was still pregnant with Noah!
Sakura 2011 - Noah was just a baby and Justin was 3 years old...
Sakura 2012 - Noah was 1 1/2 and Justin had just turned 4...
Sakura 2013 - we went to a different area of the island that year and don't have as many pictures, but you can still see how they're growing...
And sakura 2014 - Noah is 3 1/2 and Justin turned 6 last week... we had tons of fun walking, running, exploring... more adventures every year! :)
Again, thank you Jesus for our family! :)
