Black Friday


It was black Friday today!
Ritsuko got up early morning almost 4:30 A.M. , and she went to shopping mole.
When we got up around 8 o'clock, Ritsuko already came back and she had many bags!

After that we went to see furniture shop and decided to purchase desk and TV rack.

And I ordered iMac via the Internet.
I'm looking forward to arriving new iMac!

Thanks Giving day

It was Thanks giving today.
We had party in my home.

I'm worry about Ritsuko at first, but she was already well.
We tried to cook Turkey again.


In this year, Ritsuko chose bread for filling in Turkey.
And she made cranberry sauce also.

Angela cooked also Turkey and she did gravy sauce, so it was nice combination and good balance for the others who just ate Turkey with the sauce.


Everyone bring something to eat and to drink, so we had lots of stuff to eat.

We enjoyed watching DVD, talking and doing games, we spent great time happily and peacefully.

Anyway we had great time with friends in Thanks giving day!

Thanks all!

Small gift for mother

My parents came to Boise to help us and take care of all of kids for almost one month.
Day after tomorrow, they will leave Boise and back to Japan.
I was afraid of that I didn't have a lot of chance to take them to somewhere of interesting in Boise.

So I made some gift for my mother.

It was small loupe.
Not my father, because I believe he can make more better goods than me.
And I also took him to his interesting shop, wood craft shop.
He could purchase several things for new his wood projects.

Anyway, we appreciate their many helps in Boise.
All of kids will miss them.

Last week we started indoor soccer season for 10 games.
It was 1st game for me today.


Similar to futsal, there are 5 field players and 1 goalie, but field is more longer and we can use side wall which bounce off the ball.

Then next game was Kevin and Spencer's team.

But lose it also.

All of kids want to hold Kento.

After seeing doctor, it was meeting teacher day for Haruki and Minami.
I went to school and meet their teacher and they gave me this 1st quarter improvement.
They had good job and got many improvements even though study in English.
Minami's reading skill was so nice and exceed average in her class.
Teacher recognized she had good skill and she needed more courage for speaking in front of many people.
I hope she can speak in front of all class mates and volunteer in class room.
