Chickens!

Last week we bought some chickens! I bought the chickens from the internet. The chickens came to our house in the mail. We went to the post office to get the chickens. I think they are very cute! They are growing fast! We have 28 chickens. We want to have chickes so we can eat fresh eggs.

My School

I have a new job. I am an assistant teacher. I work with 4th and 5th grade students. I like my job very much. But, I think next year I will find a job as a teacher again. This is a picture of my school. It is an elementary school (1 - 5 grade). We have 1,100 students!!

Mochi

On Saturday, Ridge's Japanese school made mochi! I helped! It was fun. I met some Japanese mothers. Some mothers can speak a little English. I met a woman. Her name is Miura-san (So, of course, I remember Nishiokoppe's Miura-sensei and Miura-san!). She has lived in America for 1 year. We ate mochi with daikon. It was my first time to eat daikon mochi. Is it popular in Honshu? I never saw daikon mochi in Hokkaido. Holt is very messy!

New Year's


Here are more photos I forgot. On January 1, we went to my friend's house. Her name is Amy. Her husband is Rusty. It is popular in Texas to fry a turkey. This is Rusty. He is holding a fried turkey. The pot is full of oil. Oishikatta desu!

Holt's Birthday Cake



I forgot to show a photo of Holt's cake! His birthday was January 3rd. Now he is 5 years old! Amazing!
