Christmas at home

Gen and I made an advent calender of Santa Clause,

and did some Christmas Tree decoration together.

He loved several Christmas books, and enjoyed the atmosphere.

And, he LOVED all the presents he got from his loved ones.

Now we wish you the very happy New Year to all!

Hometown in Okayama

Gen and I were taking a short "vacation"
to go back to see my family and friends in Okayama.

Unlike the last time we took a jetplane, (it was aweful!)

taking Shinkansen seemed to have become one of his favorites.

Ibara Tetsudo, local train in Okayama

I really love the views from this train.

So peaceful!

Love Music!

What do you think Gen is doing?

He is listening to some school brass band performance.

Hidden place for butterflies

One day on our way back home from small shopping in neighborhood, we happened to find a "hidden-secret" spot where so many butterflies were flying. Orange ones, purple ones, yellow ones, white ones,,, it was just so amazing and Gen got too much excited!

"Look, mommy! There are more butterflies out there!"

Halloween decoration going on @ABC CLUB

♪ Halloween, Halloween, What does it mean? ♪

Halloween Night is around the corner.

Our ABC Club is being decorated with

Halloween motifs little by little.

We made "Happy-Sad Pumpkin Head" from paper plates.

Kids really love their pumpkins showing its "happy" side.

Real "Spooky" atmosphere is too much for little ones,

so our club is providing a "Spooky-Cuty" Halloween.

Here come "cute" ghosts!

Our Halloween Event will be held on October 26th.

Come and join us!!

Sunny days of September 2009

Gen and I tried Machida Squirrel Park again.

He really enjoyed feeding the small friends.

We went for Aihakawa Park and

Gen tried to say "hello" by touching each flower.

After that we went for Hattori Farm,

where we had a really "yummy" icecream!

Gen was so excited to see many farm animals like

goats, cows, sheep, horses, roosters, pigs and so on.

He is such an animal "lover"!

Sunflower Field

Sunflowers, sunflowers, sunflowers!!

Gen likes to walk around this sunflower field, which is just like a maze!

Kids had a lot of fun surrounded by so many sunflowers.

It was just so relaxing and energy-regaining.
