There's something beautiful about Cherry & Plum blossoms

Plum

Hinamatsuri

Japanese snacks sure are pretty & delicate looking-- they pretty much just taste like pure sugar though.

Lina's fave--strawberries!

Catch 22

So, it seems there is a catch 22 when a husband buys you something fragile, like say, a digital camera.
He is, (perhaps rightfully,) concerned that I will not be gentle enough when taking the memory stick out of the camera to upload the photos, that I have to wait for him to do it.
What's so think he's Dad.
And what's so Aimee be all clumsy my whole life, men never trust me to do anything technical.
I have some cute little pictures of the kids eating Japanese snacks on "girls day" (hinamatsuri) & also a not so cute picture of the strawberry pie the kids & I made for Mac's birthday.
The Pie crust was a little too flaky for a nice photo, but Mac was happy with the pie. I have to say it was my first time making a gelatin based pie where you do not bake the filling, only cool it. --And was terribly impressed!!
Will post recipe if U are interested!

Happy Birthday Mac Daddy

Jumping

So apparently, Mac made them jump for half an hour trying to get them to jump together & get a perfect picture.

More Pics of the Toddler

Lina got vaccinated, & she was quite sad, but brave. A few days later the kids were playing with their doctor's set & she starts pretending to give herself & the kids a shot. I guess she remembered it.
