Saturday Scene - Tokyo Edition

I am so excited to link up with Katie at Loves of Life for our Saturday Morning Scene!

We woke up late this morning after an exhausting week and a late night with Matthias.  Philip said those three little words I love to hear on a weekend morning..."I'm getting donuts."  And since we live in the middle of a sprawling metropolis and don't own cars, Philip hopped on his trusty bike and headed off to get some deliciousness!

One of the things that surprised me about Tokyo was the number of French-themed bakeries and patisseries scattered around town.  We get our bread (and sometimes our baked goods) at this little spot.

Mmm...donuts!  Many baked goods in Japan are green because they are made with green tea.

I'm sure it was difficult for Philip to stay focused with all the yumminess here!

When Philip came home, I was just finishing giving Matthias his "breakfast."  Philip put together a lovely meal highlighting delicious cinnamon donuts and we headed out to our balcony, because the weather was absolutely GORGEOUS.

The breakfast and the baby are so NOM-able!

Adoring my sweet boy.

Come to Mama!

Looks like he enjoyed his breakfast.

Pretty soon he'll be wanting to share my donut.

Like so many moments these days, our blissful little time was suddenly interrupted by an aftershock.  My chair started quivering and my coffee sloshed in my mug.  This aftershock wasn't very big, but each one is a reminder of what happened in Tohoku and what could happen here in Tokyo.  We have to cling to the words of Psalm 62:1-2 (NIV): Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.  Truly He is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
