PARIS

We went to Paris for 2 days.

Pique-nique

in front of Polytechnique

We went to see Cyrano de Bergerac at the Comédie Française, 

the Panthéon 

and the Galleries.

 Amané was also able to go shopping at Uniqlo...

We left the end by night.

And this is our new

card for this dragon year !!!

 

Happy new year !!!

Connecting with Jiji and Baba.

For new year,

they have Daijiro and Kentaro !

Jiji made a magic show,

and Baba was dressed in kimono !

In the afternoon

we went to visit Grammy,

she was in a good mood !!

 

Christmas with the cousins

Colin, Ylan, Gaëlle and Céd

came to Angoulême

for Christmas !

Playing while waiting for them.

For Chrsithmas 

Ylan and Colin 

had a video game

so Amané also.....!!!!

We went to sports workshops offered by the city:

 rifle shooting, ping-pong and self defense

Dada could enjoy with kids!

Rugby with cousins

Dada also received Gérard and Josiane

for lunch !

 

Duo Mambo published in Corea !!!

The album created with Wei was published in Korea! 

Very very proud!!!

 

Junior high is going well

Despite the piano, theater, training 

and table tennis tournaments, 

Amané still has excellent results in 4th grade!

Bravo Doudou !!!!!!!

 

Wishing an happy birthday to Didi

 

Table tennis's life

I accepted that Amané plays 

for the French senors championships...

So she plays on Friday evenings sometimes until 2 a.m....

Overall this year she made: 

-the federal criterium (individuals nationale 2 so she can play far away),

-the young championships (by teams only in our department),

-the feminine tournament (by team, in our city)

-the individuals finals (individual, the more she won, the more away she goes...),

and the French señor championships....

Our life is strongly tasting table tennis...!!!!!

 

Nathalie in France

Nathalie came from US

for a few days.

 

Sunday with Minchan family

 

While Amané is playing tournament

While I accompany Amané 

to a table tennis tournament, 

Wei signs, and the dance show on the album

 takes place in Troyes during the festival.

 

Away with 140 teenagers

As part of my new job I accompanied 

140 teenagers aged 15 

to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean for a few days.

 

Glasses

Glasses are saving my life !!!

Thanks Amané and Yuta 

to help me to choose !

 

The book became dance

So happy

that some dancers are transforming 

the book Wei created with me 

into a spectacle !!!!!

It will be presented at a literature festival

in October.

 

Creating for Grammy

Grammy is at the retirement home.

Amané prepares the schedule

 of the proposed activities

 for her in detail (Grammy can no longer see very well).

Sweet girl !!!
