感慨深い。。。おけの5歳です。アメリカでは誕生日にみんなにお菓子を配ります。ここではお菓子はダメなのでマフィンかフルーツサラダでお願いしますと言われているので、今年は両方。他の人のを参考にしながら毎年ちょっとずつ進化させています。。次元の低いところで。来月はゆりの誕生日でしかもけのと同じクラスなのでそれも視野に入れながら。毎年ドキドキする一大イベントです。わたしがクラス全体に差し入れするなんて!!と。。。。気を構えすぎでしょうね。今年は何か記憶に残ることを、と信ちゃんが考えてけのと一緒にお料理をすることにしました。買い物から一緒に。信ちゃんはけのの大好きなゼリーとガーリックブレッドを作ることにしました。ちなみにけのに誕生日は何食べたい?と聞いたらレタスとブロッコリって言ってたんですけどね!爆。けのもとっても喜んでいてよいお誕生日になりました。その夜はみんなでけのの赤ん坊のときの写真を見たりして。かわいかったな〜〜今もまだかわいいけどね。5歳はけのにとって特別な1年となりそうです。よいものとなりますように!
Ken is already 5!! I can't believe it!! Now he can read and write a little bit. I didn't teach at all, he is going so ahead. I brought mini muffin and fruit salad to preschool as it was suggested. This custom is not what I grew up with, so I have no idea how it should be done, but I'm learning and improving every year! This year I made banner and prepared cups. I already made one for Yuri since she is going to the same class as Ken next month. Ken requested mochi cake for his birthday cake. I made dinner. Shin thought it would be memorable to make his favorite food with Ken, which he thinks Jell-O and garlic bread. Well, when I asked Ken what his favorite food was, he said lettuce and broccoli though... He had a blast with cooking time with Daddy. He picked ingredients he wanted from store. It was such a good idea!! We looked at Ken's baby photos and felt old that night... It was a good birthday! Wish him the best year ahead!

Thanksgiving...
今年も静かなサンクスギビングでした。お粗末な料理で恥ずかしいのですが。。。信ちゃんは仕事があったので家で子どもたちとサンクスギビングのクラフトでもしようと思ったんですけど、準備してなかったのでけのの希望で図書館で借りてた本のをすることに。そしてゆりのペイント、結構上手になったな〜芸術的です。けのの絵も味があっていい。そして今年はしっかりとブラックフライデーしました。さて、上の投稿と、けのとだいの着ている服が全く同じだ、とお気づきになったかもしれませんが。彼らは同じシャツを二枚ずつ持っています。そして、同じ日にそれを着ます。だいきが着ているのを見たらけのが同じシャツを必ず着るように気をつけているのです。兄弟愛ですね。
Quiet Thanksgiving as usual. Shin had a work, so we spent morning doing crafts. I wanted to do something related to thanksgiving, but ended up with ordinary ones. We had a good time anyways. Yuri loves painting and she is getting good at it. Can you see? You may have found Ken and Daiki wearing the same clothes in next post too. Well, they have a pair of those outfits and Ken makes sure that they wear those on the same day. Whenever Daiki wears it, he wears it too.

まずはだい初のへアカット!ちょっと悲しげになってますが、実際はいい感じです!あんまり髪が少ないのでちょっぴりしか切りませんでしたが、すっきりしてうれしい。そしてわたしの小さな夢、すべり台付きのベッドを買いました♪だいは見張ってないといけませんが、上ってそのまま滑り降りて、と楽しんでくれてます。ずっとこういうのがほしいな〜と思っていたのが中古サイトに出ていたときの喜びと言ったら!ちょっと思っていたよりも低かったけど、まあ安全でいいし寝ている様子がチェックしやすいのでよかった。この流れでいろいろものを片付けて模様替えもしました。家がすっきりして広くなったみたいに感じてウキウキしちゃいます。
My little boy got hair cut for the first time!! I cut his hair just little bit because his hair was long but he doesn't have so few that I felt bad to make it even fewer. He looks sad with this after-picture, but I think it went well and looks good now! And we got a loft bed with slide!! So exciting!! I've been thinking of this kind of bed for a long time. I thought I invented it, but apparently someone did before I did! When I found this on craigslist, I had to buy it. It's like my dream came true! Even Dai has a lot of fun with it under my supervision;) We are moving furniture around to make home better. This morning Shin surprised me with new arrangement!

Happy 1st Birthday Dai
だいが1歳になったんでした。おめでとう〜と歌うだけで済ませていたのですが、ベテランズデーで水曜日なんて中途半端な日がお休みになったので、誕生日パーティーをすることにしました。ついでに朝に信ちゃんから個人情報が漏れないように小さくちぎって捨ててと渡された紙を使ってピニャータも作ることに。ケーキを焼いて飾り付けてピニャータ作って、、としていたらもうくたくたになってしまって、ごちそうはなし!という意味不明なパーティーに。。。でも信ちゃんが子どもたちを連れてプレゼントを買ってきてくれました。カメラの電池がなくってケーキの写真はありませんが、おいしく焼けて満足!あとは職業選びっていうの?1歳の誕生日の定番をやってもらいました。そしてピニャータは子どもたちが大喜びしてくれて、一緒に作ってよかったな〜と思いました。ただ、いい紙を使ったから割れにくくって困りましたが。次は新聞紙だね〜成長の早いだいくんはもうトコトコ歩いてるし、コミュニケーションもとれるし誰より食べるし、毎日驚かせてくれます。性格も出てきて見ているのもおもしろくなってきました。この一年、また一緒に楽しい思い出を作っていきたいです。
Daiki turned 1 a week ago. I wasn't planning to do anything (such a bad mom!) but we were so bored on veterans day that we decided to have a party! I had tons of document that I had to cut into pieces to throw. That gave me idea to make a pinata! We decorated, made pinata and baked cake, then I was just tired. I couldn't do any more. So there was no feast but humble meal for evening. Shin and kids went to dollar store and got birthday gift and glow sticks. I don't have a picture of cake because battery of my camera died at the moment but cake was delicious! Dai blew a little bit. Banner started burning so I blew at the end. Dai proudly chose his future job as a scientist/accountant. Pinata was a quite success although it was too hard to break because I used nice paper. (Remember to use newspaper next time...) Ken loved it! He is talking about it over and over this morning. His birthday is coming up next...

Happy Halloween!!
教会のハロウィーンパーティーが終わった!!ということでなんだかハロウィンが終わったような気持ちになっています。今年はゲームはミニゴルフをしてトランクorトリートにも参加したのでなんだかがんばった気分。トランクは想像してた感じにできなくて残念でした。来年はもっとかっこよく飾ろう!と思います。今年はけのの希望でバットマンになりました。だいはロビン!(アニメ見たことないのでロビンが誰だか知らないんだけど、バットマンの助手みたいな感じなのかしら?)アメコミ好きじゃないし、、と思っていたんだけど、けのも喜ぶし手軽に売ってるのも買えるし(今年は作ったけど)これからは毎年スーパーヒーローになってもらおう!と思いました。信ちゃんはクラークケントになりました。結婚前は自分が仮装するなんて思いもよらなかったという信ちゃん、こんな日が来るなんて、、と震えていました。(楽しんでいたと思います!)そうそう、見て見て!だいが歩き始めました!!
We had our ward Halloween party last Saturday, so I feel like Halloween is already over. I prepared mini golf and decorated my trunk for trunk-or-treat (It was the first time for me. It didn't turn out as good as I imagined. I will do better next year for sure!!). This year, Ken wanted to be batman (I never show him the show, but). I had fun making these costumes. Daiki became Robin of course! I insisted Shin to be Clark Kent. He was amazed how far he came along since we got married! He had never done such a thing before that! I like this super hero theme, although I'm not a big fan of those cartoons. It was so easy. I think we'll be super heroes every Halloween from now on. Oh, look! Dai is walking now!!!

Fall 2015
大好きな秋!もう終わりそうですが、、、いそいで恒例の家族写真を撮りにいきました。今住んでる近所はどこでもきれいなので近くの公園で。写真では紅葉のきれいさが伝えきれないわ。。。
My favorite season!! I really enjoy the color of leaves right now. It became our tradition to take family pictures around this season I guess.

Camp Joseph
バーモントのジョセフスミス生誕地訪問者センターの横にある教会が運営するキャンプ場キャンプジョセフに行ってきました。小さなキャビンに泊まってご飯食べたくらいで何もする時間もなかったんだけど、子どもたちはとっても喜んでいてよかったです。ちょうど紅葉が始まっていて、とってもきれいでした。ただ朝晩とても寒くてマムはずっとガタガタ震えていました。
We went to Camp Joseph near Joseph Smith birth place. It was a very short camp. We didn't do anything special but it's nice to have something different once a while. Kids loved it!! The leaves started changing colors already. It was beautiful.

Fishing 2015
信ちゃんが新しい趣味を始めました。釣り。マサチューセッツで釣りをするには許可証を買わないといけないので数日分買って、集中して釣りしてました。始めの数日はまったくどうしたらいいのかわからなくて一匹も釣れませんでしたが、昨日コツが掴めたらしくその後はいっぱい釣って、けのまで一人で釣れるようになってました。これ以上許可証を買うと年パス買えばよかったということになるからもう今年はおしまい、だそうですが。自然がきれいでリラックスできるとっても良い時間でした。そう思えばここら辺はいっぱい湖や川があってすごくきれいなのにこれまで何もしなかったのがもったいなかったです。ゆりはちょろちょろ忙しくしていると思ったらこのあと湖に落ちました。
Introducing Shin's new hobby, fishing! He bought fishing permit for a few days and went crazy with fishing. At first, he didn't know anything about fishing so got nothing, but yesterday evening he just got a clue. After that, he got so many fish and even Ken knows how to fish now! Way to go! Yuri fell into lake twice, then mom said no more. Boys went fishing alone. It was a good experience to learn the beautiful nature around this area. We've been here three years and almost left without really enjoying yet. It was very relaxing (until Yuri fell) and I loved it.

Dai 10 month old
今日で10ヶ月!早いなあ〜元気に大きくなっています。ベッドから自分で降りたり、伝い歩きしたり高速ハイハイで好き勝手なことしています。なんでも隅から隅まで調査します。最近ハマっていることは手を叩くこと!だいが手を叩くと家族のみんなが手を叩きます。そしてまたやって!というとまた叩いてくれるのです。我が家のアイドルだいくんです。そうそう、新しいアパートに引っ越してもう3週間も経ちますが、みんな元気にやっています。電子ピアノやカウチも増えて、ますます我が家感が増えました。今日も家族で暮らせることに感謝♡
He turns 10 month old today. He can do a lot of things like he can clap, pick up cheerios and feed himself, stand for 5 seconds and walk with holding on something. He is especially very proud of clapping. When we say do it again, he does it with smile. His crawl is super fast! He is very cute and always curious. We adore him. He is an idol in his family!
