Even little boy (almost 2) couldn’t stop munching .

Illustration of a giant squid, a duckling and a kid in a bathtub. The squid is looking curious trying to get the attention of the kid with its tentacles. The child is looking right at us in fear. The duckling is standing between the two, wings spread out, trying to defend the kid.

Our thoughts are with the beautiful souls who departed 14 years ago today.
311 is the day Japan was struck by the tragedy of the earthquake.
My daughter came home with many plum blossoms in her pocket.
We are thankful for everyday life.
