Hana became 4!

Tue, 4 Dec 2007 11:01:25 -1000

Yes, She is 4 now. Quite healthy and happy. Recently, Her Art teacher described her painting style as “Enthusiastic”. We are very proud of her...　　Please log on to Picture Gallery and see todays photographs from her class room. 今年もやってきました、春波の誕生日。　教室でみんなに囲まれてモンテッソーリスタイルのお誕生会をやってきました。　去年は歌に合わせて太陽にみたてたろうそくの周りを歩くのもままならなかったのに今年はしっかりと歩けました。　こういうところで娘の成長に感動します。　えへ！　写真のページ、見てくださいね。

Halloween 2008!

Thu, 1 Nov 2007 11:51:02 -1000

English version, please look below..... 子供がいるとハロウィンってもっと楽しくなりますね。　昨日は誕生日会もかねたハロウィンパーティにおよばれされて家族そろって仮装して参加して参りました。　子供がいなかったころはなんか恥ずかしくて仮装なんてしなかったのですが、、、　娘はティンカーベル、私も妖精になって、ダーリンはパイレーツ。　それにしても、こちらは大人も子供もハロウィンが大好き。　仮装も楽しければ、キャンディーもいっぱい食べれて一日中、お祭り騒ぎです。　薬局やスーパーで働く人たちも仮装して出勤しますからねぇ、、、　午後になると仕事を早くきりあげて悪魔やら、歴史上のヒーローになりすました人たちがうようよと徘徊しだすわけであります。日が沈む頃、子供たちをつれての "Trick or Treat!" の時も、どの家も色々と趣向を凝らしていて、、、

Maui Matsuri 祭！

Mon, 21 May 2007 12:55:50 -1000

We went o Maui Matsuri on last Saturday. Hana was very excited when she wore Japanese Summer Kimono. “I am a Japanese Princess!” She was hopping around, dancing and very happy. She was too shy to join Bon-dance and complained that she did not dance at the end of the day. 土曜日はマウイ祭りでした。　春波には甚平さんを着せて、私は湘南モールで買った今時の浴衣をきて見ました。　去年アゼカプレイスでの盆ダンスは結構みんな浴衣を来てきたのに今回はあまり浴衣を着ていた人はおらず、、、　なーんだ、つまんないの！　せっか

What did I do on Mother’s day...

Mon, 14 May 2007 12:58:40 -1000

This Mother’s day was awesome! I painted Hana’s doll house with her. It was fun and very inspiring from her innocent creativity. I learned a lot from her. Please click “Photo” above or here to see more photographs from yesterday!

Wow! What a fun it was! My friend Miryeha, MHOK Parents, mother of Isabella, invited all families from school for Tie Die Party Yesterday. I always wanted to know how to do it. Now, I know how and loved it! Pink one (Left) was dyed by Hana. Others were done by me. Very Excited!

It’s hard to see on website, I used short impasto strokes just like Van gogh did on “starry night”. First, I was planning to add some green field scape as background because original source image had busy background such as tent, cables, boxes things like that. I am quite tired after busting two paintings in 3 days and thrive for everyone’s opinion. Please leave your comment... :-)
