A Year From Now...

Departures... Ann Arbor

So, Monica left yesterday, Jonah left today.  Jay and Megan leave tomorrow.  I have a couple more weeks to get everything done, till I have to go back to Shanghai.  (With a cool stop in Tokyo on the way.)  So, time for the next phase.  そして、昨日、モニカは出たので、今日ジョナも出ました。所で、日本に行ったので、前の学校に一ヶ月のカンプに手伝います。明日、他のの息子も出ます。私はアメリカにいるの二週間だけがあるので、上海に戻します。途中に日本に行って、楽しみにしています。あれから、次の間に入れます。 Everyone is wearing Jay's shirts.  皆はジェイのシャツを着ています。     Pefff Prints

Jonah - Monica - Jay - Megan.  Relaxing in downtown A2.

Goodbye Jonah.  Have a great experience as a counselor at ASIJ Summer Day Camp.  今日さよならジョナを言ったので、がんばって。とてもいい経験をできたら、うれしい。

Ann Arbor - Frisbee in the park

Sunny skies and a shiny new disc in the park near our place make for a fun time!

Ellis Guo from Tokyo joined the fun.

Fun family time!

Cool down time...

Ann Arbor - Monica's friends visit A2 June 2012

When guests visit, Dad's job is to prepare food.   Mixed grill - steak, fish, bratwurst.

A feast! 

Enjoying the Ann Arbor Summer Festival.

Salsa Dancing during the Ann Arbor Summer Festival at the Top of the Park - these people know how to dance!

The band from the Dominican Republic rocked the crowd.  No one could stand still.  

Sunset, Ann Arbor

 While unloading my bike tonight...a full rainbow appeared!  I ran upstairs and caught the view from the bedroom window.

The Ann Arbor Marathon runs right past our place.

Wow, what an amazing experience shopping for hardware in a big-box home improvement store in Ann Arbor

My first open water swim with new friends from the Ann Arbor Triathlon Club, at Silver Lake in the Pickney Recreation area.

Already training... in Ann Arbor

While Jonah and I were trying to recover from the first day of jet-lag, Martin went to work.... and then went on a 30 km bike ride with his new triathlon group... then a run!  What a MAN!!!

今日、ジョナと時差ぼけの病気から直してなりたいながら、マーティンは仕事に行ったので、30キロの自転車の乗ることや走ることも行きました。新しいスポーツグループに会いました。すごい男。

More househunting.  We have seen some interesting things this week.  

もっと家を探しています。今週面白い物を見ました。With Martin and Monica.

So great being able to spend a little time with our sweet daughter, Monica.  

二日間にモニカと言う娘と一緒に過ごしているはよかったです。

Look what we found in the parking lot, downtown Ann Arbor.  Remember, Martin's an electric car engineer.

面白い事を見つけました。覚えて、マーティンは電気の車の技術者だね。
