Mother's Day and Father's Day

Happy Mother's Day. This Mother's Day was bittersweet. Mother's Day was also the day that Aaron flew back to Seattle...for good. This marks the end of Aaron's life in Japan.

We decided to spend this Mother's Day the same way we did two years ago, when we had just moved here. We went to our favorite neighborhood haunt, "Shoto Cafe", for a slice of cake.



This is a family favorite because of Mac, the owner's dog. Mac was our kids' first friend in Japan. We try to stop by and see him as much as possible.



Mia and Rhett did not want to say goodbye to daddy. This was a tough day for them. Mia cried and Rhett (who has no clue about the concept of time) was consoling her, saying "Don't cry Mia. Daddy will come back after work."



Luckily, we will get to see Aaron again on June 12th. He'll come back to Tokyo for a few days of work. Thank goodness!
