May 2012

On May 5th, our dear friend Satoshi married Cara; a fun reception followed a beautiful ceremony at the Botancial Garden.

Congratulations Satoshi & Cara!!!

We spent Mother's Day at Grandma Julie's house.

Amane takes after her brother with a superhuman ability to float in the air.

We're always finding her in the craziest places.

Hiroki and his classmate Joe celebrate a year of tumbling together at the Studio with teacher/owner/friend Kim Swanson.

Hiroki and his preschool class enjoy their end-of-the-year picnic with some fun games!

Amane had a great time too, even though she's not in school yet.

Cate Gotway's Baptism

John Gotway and I have been friends for more than two decades, since high school.  He and his wife Cindy celebrated the baptism of their third child, Cate.  We were lucky to spend some time with them.
