Gymnastic

Ken goes to Gymnastic school since last year. He loves it. I'm so glad that we found this place for him. We took some pictures on photo day at school. Go Ken!!
去年の秋から体操教室に通い始めたけの、大好きみたいでマムも喜んでいます！今日は教室のカメラデーで、親たちが中に入って写真撮りまくりの日でした。さすが、親心をわかっていらっしゃる！左端の写真からおわかりのように、けのはいっつもしゃべってます！無駄口多すぎ！！！っていつも外からヒヤヒヤしているんですけど。右下はお菓子を分け合う我が家の三人。かわい♡

Yuri 3 birthday

ゆりちゃんが今日で三歳！早すぎる〜まだ完全にオムツなのに。。そして相変わらずだっこだっこ言っているかわいいうちのお姫様です。夜は大学のブッフェに行きたいと言うことで、楽させてもらって朝みんなで歌歌ってケーキとプレゼント！そしてキュウリ。（ゆりに何食べたい？と聞いたらキュウリ！！と言ったのでね。。レタス！と言ったけのといい、まるでマムがちゃんと料理してない感じ・・・）プレゼントにあげた２４ピースのパズルは朝すぐ始めてあっという間に完成させてしまってびっくり。ずっと１２ピースをやっていたのでできると思わなかったのだけど、もう４８ピースを買ってあげないとなあ。ゆりもけのもマムに似てパズル大好きです。ちなみにけの誕生日のプレゼントは１００と２００と３００ピースのパズル４つでした。そして学校にゆりのトリートを持って行ってみんなが歌ってくれるのも見てきました。なんだか大きくなったな〜と感動。今月からゆりはけのと同じクラスに通っています。まだあんまりしゃべらないけど堂々としているのが見えて一安心。おめでとうゆりちゃん、良い一年を！
Yuri turned 3 today! I can't believe she is 3!! We sang to her this morning and had cake already because she wanted to go to restaurant (it's just college cafeteria) for dinner. I asked her what she wants to eat for her birthday besides sweet stuff. She said "Cucumber!!" Well, as you remember Ken said "Lettuce" to the same question, you may wonder what I feed them everyday... I can cook. Serious. Anyways, that's why you see cucumber next to her birthday cake there. She got a lunch bag and 24 piece puzzle, which she quickly finished. I didn't know she could do 24 piece already! Maybe I should get 48 piece one now. (We love puzzle. Ken got 100, 200 and 300 piece puzzles for his birthday.) I went to see her preschool class sing happy birthday. She recently started going to the same class as Ken's. It was a good opportunity to see how she is doing and was great. Kids came up and gave her hugs. So cute. Happy birthday my sweet Yuri! Wish the best year ahead!

Tubing

この冬は結構暖かくて、雪も少なく楽をさせてもらっているのですが、なぜか雪を見に行こうという流れになり（人間って贅沢だ）わざわざ１時間半もドライブしてスキー場に。けのはチューブ滑りに挑戦しました。すごく楽しんでいて、わたしもうれしかったです。まだチューブ滑りには早すぎる下の二人にとっては寒すぎた様子ですが。
It has been warm this winter. We don't have much snow. I like it, but somehow we miss snow too. Just a little, so we decided to go and see snow. Ken tried tubing. It was freezing cold but he had so much fun! I'm most happy to see him trying new thing and enjoying. I was going to play with snow with little ones that can't go tubing yet, but apparently it was too cold for them. They chose to stay inside. Maybe next time.

あけましておめでとうございます 2016

今年も静かなお正月でした。信ちゃんは朝一で釣りの年パスを買ってけのと釣りへ。マムはもちをついてお雑煮を作りました。お昼はゆりがダディとお散歩。夜はだいきがダディに付き合って映画館へ。静かに寝ていたそう。子どもたちは気持ちも新たに、ということで新しい服をひいおばあちゃんに買ってもらいました。二日はマムは神殿に連れて行ってもらいました♡よい一年になりそうです。
We had a good start of happy new year. Shin bought a fishing year pass and went fishing with Ken for the first thing in the morning. After that, he took Yuri for a walk, then took Dai to movie. He slept very well there. I made mochi and one of traditional Japanese new year dish with it. Kids loved it. Ah Zhou gave children for new clothing to celebrate new year. I went to the temple next day. I can feel the best year is just started!
