SAKURA....


It's Cherry Blossom (Sakura) Season in Okinawa... the first Cherry Blossoms in all of Japan


This festival is at the ancient Ryukyu Castle known as Nakijin




I love his crazy faces...

He loved the Blossoms


It's a beautiful venue for Cherry Blossom viewing
Lately Asher has enjoyed climbing in and out of drawers, closets, cupboards... pretty much everything in the house.
And you thought he looked like Trevr before...

A friend of ours... Michael Spagna... took these pictures of my graffiti... which one of these is not like the others.

Asher in Motion...

Just a few random videos of Asher for the Grandparents... trying his first strawberry and playing catch.

What intelligent mom lets their child try strawberries on a white skirt? Yup. Obviously I wasn't thinking that day... I shot it in black, white and yellow. (you can stop watching after the funny face).

I Can't Believe It's Been A Year...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHER!!!
The blowup pool may seem over the top...
but it was definitely necessary.
First step... get naked.
Second Step... blow out the candle
Third Step... pretend we don't live in a society with cultural norms regarding food.
He wasn't sure about it at first and kept looking at us like, "What's the catch?"
Then he just started grabbing handfuls and shoving them in as fast as he could.

If I didn't know any better... definitely chocolate.



Then Jessica painted an anime version of Asher on the Seawall. Graffiti makes a good first birthday present right?
Asher's Room
And Finally... a random Okinawa picture.
These are the doctor fish that eat dead skin off your feet. It tickles like crazy.
