明日は仁君のお誕生日 ということで前日祝い?にここから車で1時間 ジョージタウンという古い町へ行ってきました 最初から上機嫌だった彼 Tomorrow is Kyle's birthday So we decided to celebrate it a day before We visited "Georgetown" which is located 1hr away from where we live He was happy from the beginning
到着!まだ嬉しい Arrived! Still happy:)
これクライマックス This was our climax for the day
仁さんよりこの方の方が興味深々 More than Kyle, someone else was really into it

"Strength comes from being settle on a firm foundation of truth and light it comes from paying attention to a divine things that matter most" Ian shared this in our family home evening the other night and touched my heart. I think I needed this to make me realize what really is matter most in my life with many things to worry about.
ショーン 日本語と英語に苦戦中 まだまだ会話が成り立ちません が お調子者な性格は変わっていません Sean Struggling speaking Japanese and English Not capable making some decent conversations, yet but His funny personality is still there
Sean's buddies here have this bike called "balance bike" which teaches them how to balance before they get on a real bike Of course Sean wanted it, too So he got it from his Nonna as a half a year early birthday gift in April It's been two months since he got this and watch!
去年父の日に私からイアンに送ったメッセージ 最近ショーンの成長の遅れから他の子供と比べては 焦りがちだった私たち イアンにとっては今年の父の日の特別なメッセージになったみたい I sent this message to Ian last year's Father's day Lately, because of Sean's delay in his growth; speech, behavior etc, we were both having a hard time seeing our own son not being able to do what he is supposed to be able to do in his age. But it seems like this message became a wonderful reminder for Ian this year for Father's day
ずっと欲しかったバイクトレイラー 日本では見かけないけれど ここではかなり人気商品です 自転車の後ろにこれをつけてサイクリング 取り外してバギーにすることもできる優れモノ ガソリンが値上がりしたこのご時世 重宝しています We finally got a bike trailer/stroller I've been using this pretty much everyday since the gas price went up so high that this could be our "eco car" for now!
私の仕事の一つとして 毎週屋外プール日を取り仕切っています ここのアパート郡の芝生の広場に子供用プール を設定 近所の子供たちが沢山出てきて遊びます うちの子たちも楽しんでます A part of my job as a resident manager is to be in charge of "water days" every Thursday afternoon during the summer Whether I like it or not, the kids here love to hang out and play in those little pools;)
