We experienced a double blessing yesterday of having both of kids graduate from their respective schools, elementary and middle. We often take for granted what goes into such an accomplishment, but we want to thank all the teachers, fellow parents and family members who have invested time in the lives of our children to help them succeed in school and feel good about who they are. And of course we thank the Lord for watching over them and giving them the opportunity to grow, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

One more step in our journey toward Japan as both will start the school year in Japan in a new class structure. Only 18 days left before Japan!
