私は本当に残念です

私は、長い間、投稿していません。I have not written in a long time. 私たちは非常に忙しいです。 私たちはクリスマスを祝いました。 リッジとホルトはthier誕生日を祝いました。 私は、走り続けています。 また、私は習慣柔術を続けています。 私は、すぐ、いくつかの写真を共有してみるでしょう。 私を忘れないでください。Thank you for sending me email. I miss Japan very much. We have a big garden now! I will share a photo soon! Aaron and I worked very hard. We built our garden together. メールを私に送ってくださってありがとうございます。 私は日本がたいへん恋しいです。 私たちは、現在、大きい庭を持っています! 私は、すぐ、写真を共有するつもりです! アーロンと私は一生懸命仕事しました。 私たちは庭を一緒に建設しました。

Marathon

On Sunday I ran a marathon! I ran for 5 hours and 14 minutes. Now I'm very tired, but I am not injured. I feel good! This is my father and me. Everyone can have a medal when they finish a marathon (me) or a 1/2 marathon (my father - he ran 13.1 miles). It was very hard and very exciting! I will write more later.

Marathon

On November 16, I will run a marathon! A marathon is 26.2 miles ( 42 km). I have trained for six months. These are my training friends. We made this photo after running 20 miles ( 32 km). We are still smiling! I am very excited!

Ju-Jitsu

We had a Ju-Jitsu competition at our Ju-Jitsu school on Saturday. Ridge, Aaron, and I all fought. Here are some photos. My fighting photo is hard to see. Sorry. I am fighting Laura. She is Brazilian. She is strong! Aaron fought a big man! Aaron is the man wearing blue. Ridge is on top and he is wearing white. I am wearing blue.

Our Chicken's Eggs

Here is a picture of some eggs. Can you see the three green eggs? We think our eggs taste better than eggs from a store. Every day our chickens lay (make) about 5 - 7 eggs!

Dude Ranch

A "Dude Ranch" is a vacation place. A "Dude" is a person from a city. Sometimes, people from cities like to visit the country ("inaka"). They enjoy riding horses and visiting a ranch (with cows). Aaron's mother wanted our family to visit a Dude Ranch. Here are some photos. Ridge and Holt had a lot of fun! We rode horses many times. We stayed for 4 days. By the way, you can change each photo to a bigger size.
