Happy Father’s Day 💕
I am so blessed to have a husband who loves his family and values his home, is humble, patient, wise, funny, and prayerful. He is a real man, who knows that manhood doesn’t come from flaunting strength, but by knowing how to love steadily with God’s love, and sacrificing for those you love.. even if it means washing dishes or changing diapers. I’m so grateful that he is the father of our son, and it is an enormous gift to be parents together!!

Happy 3 months, Jamie Fionnlagh!! 🍄 Jamie loves scooting all over the floor on his back, talking and giggling, and playing with his activity mat. I can’t believe he is officially no longer a newborn.. 😭 I love being a mama to this little boy so much!!

Weekend exploring at the bell tower.. one of our favorite local sights! 🔔 Photos by my husband.

This past week has been so full.. we experienced the (Japanese) Golden Week holiday, celebrated my 30th birthday, had our first home BBQ since getting married, and for the finale, Mother’s Day.. a day that has felt complicated at times, filled both with the gratitude for all the mothers in my life, as well as the sadness of pregnancy losses. Today I spotted forget me nots growing near our house. We originally planted seeds in memory of one such loss, and now they have self-seeded and spread all over the place. Beauty spilling from the sadness.. and now, I have a child in my arms and a new story of joy and gratitude, especially knowing where we have been to get to where we are now. My heart is glad.

“Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”
- Psalms 126:5-6

Since the next couple of days are supposed to be rainy, we went outdoors today. It was perfect weather for bento boxes by the river and walking around some camping sites! ⛺️🍃
