感謝祭 Thanksgiving

私にとっては3回目の感謝祭
でも過去2回は宣教師時代で
人に作ってもらったものを
嬉しげにたいらげただけでした
が
今回は初めて全て自分手作り
がんばりました
It was my 3rd Thanksgiving
but the last two that I had were
when I was a missionary
means
I just went to someone's home
and ate the great dinner for them
BUT
this time, I cooked the whole things
all by myself
It was a lot of work..
イアンのお父さんが来てくれました
Ian's dad came and visited us
午後は教会員の人に誘われて
遊覧飛行に
この方、去年まで大阪ーデンバー間の
旅客機パイロットだったらしい
自家用機まで持っている
In the afternoon,
a nice church member here invited us
for an airplane ride!
He used to work as a pilot
He owns a small air plane


イアンは副操縦士に!
(ちなみに少し操縦させてもらっていました
恐ろしかった・・笑)
Ian became a co-pilot!
(btw, he got to controll a little bit
it scared me to death..haha)

私たちが住んでいる町
ボルダー上空
Our beautiful town, Boulder

土曜は
エステス公園とロッキー山脈国立公園
へ行ってきました
On Saturday,
We drove to The Estes Park
and The RockyMountainNationalPark

さすが国立公園
野生のエルクを発見
We got to see the wild elks
in the national park

認識 Recognizing

最近色んな人の違いetcを
認識できるようになったっぽい
ということで
東京で伝道しているために
あまりお目にかかれていない
アレックおじさんについて説明してみました
結構興味深々
It seems like he started
being able to recognizing a lot of different types of people
So,
I started explaining some of the people that
he hasn't been able to see lately
by using some picutures.
This time, I used his uncle, Alec
who is serving the mission in Tokyo.
He was really interested.

エコ Eco

エコ
最近ある友達に感化され
うちでも布オシメを
始めました
500,000,000枚の使い捨てオシメ
毎日ゴミになっています
自然に戻るるまで
最低500年はかかります
子供の未来がかかっているなら
難しいことはナイ?!
Eco
I was inspired by a friend of mine recently
to switch it to the cloth diapers.
So, we've been giving it a try.
50 million disposable diapers
enter the landfill every day,
where they sit for up to 500 years.
I can do so much to be an earth friendly person
but as a mom,
I think this is a big thing I can do
for my baby's future!
長所:・経済的
・(自分で作れば)かわいいデザインが可能
・エコ貢献
・ゴミ箱に残らないので臭わない
・意外と簡単
・おむつかぶれが改善された
・緊急時(災害時)にも余分なおむつが不要
Pro's: Financially friendly
Cute design available(If you make your own)
No stinky diapers left in your garbage can
Unexpectedly, it's EASY
works well for a baby with diaper rush
In a case of emergency, you won't have to pack a lot
Earth Friendly!
短所:洗濯の回数が増える
Con's: More laundries for you to do
好きな布&安いシャワーカーテン
そして不要になった木綿のシャツなど
これだけで
つくれちゃいます
If you have your favorite fabric, cheap shower curtain
and some cotton shirts that you don't use anymore..
You can sew your baby's own diapers
