Catch up time:)
Well, it's a crazy whirlwind here, but I am just determined to catch you up on all this craziness-so here goes...take a deep breath and hang on!
Fall has come and gone....
That was just a sample of the views around here...That was Nai-Nai and Kenji bringing in a load of daikon(huge japanese radishes). And a bunch of Hokkaido winter squash.
Here's Tio at 5 weeks, sleeping with Daddy
Kenji finally found some good fishing streams---three hours away! But the boys did not let it deter them from convincing dad that they needed to catch their own trout(they raved over the ones Kenji caught, they were really yummy!) and so flattered:)he took them on the long trip the next Sunday along with uncle Shunsuke, and guess what--after great success the weekend before, only Sage and Kai caught one fish each! A mom couldn't make that more fair:). They had good naps on the trip in and out, and had a great time it seems.
Here are some pics about 10 days ago, the last really warm, nice day, it was spent harvesting and storing the last of the daikon. It was Saturday and the kids helped out. Kenji was the only one who could work on it in the morning and he was truly grateful as the kids were pulling the daikon and he was packing them into the crate on the tractor(the earlier pic). He was amazed at how hard they worked...and how much fun they had! They all munched on the raw daikon through the day too. Lucas is being daikon-man at Sage's request-as soon as he saw me with the camera he looked around and found something as a stage and posed and danced around. One of the girls here told me he's going to be a TV personality or something:). Sage helped cut the tops of the daikon, which really thrilled him! These vegetables are really huge and they all lugged them around, even Lucas, pretty funny to see!
Some pics of the kids that same day, playing with the keyboard and having a blast...
Here's Ray accepting an award for Menno Village, we were nominated to be part of a contest that judged many farms, the award was for connecting farmers and consumers through our CSA(community sponsored agriculture). Ray and Aki, Toshi, Kenji and Orie-san all attended the award banquet and fancy meal where they were served food that was made from the products of the top 14 farms and top 4 fish farms!
Naptime!
Well, I had a few more pics to post, but the photo posting process is not working at the moment, so I'll hit the sack, this is enough for now anyhow, isn't it?? We had our first snow today, we woke up to a few inches on the ground. The kids were so excited and played all morning out in it, it's all gone now, but fun...and muddy while it lasted!
