A sense of Japan

I have been missing my brother Peter and his cute family since they moved to Japan a year ago. We got a taste of what they are experiencing, when he sent some Japanese treats and chopsticks to the states with his brother-in-law Sidney, who was coming to Utah for a friend's wedding.

Thumbs up!

James has been fascinated with the chopsticks. 

I tried to show him how to use them (I am not very good. My siblings are getting really good at it). He figured out a better way to use them to eat his favorite snack: bread.

Peter has been posting pictures of the beautiful cherry blossoms in his area of Japan.  At the Utah State Capitol Building, they have some as well! My friend Linda took Max and Ben with her Andrew to fly kites last week.
