Preparing for Christmas

One of my favorite thing to do

during winter:

decorating the house for Christmas !

 

Osaka

A geography oral about Osaka:

Amané learned a lot !

And a friend at home 

to do homework after school.

 

Junior High

Still studying a lot

to have good marks !

 

Didi's birthday

Jiji Nobuya offered a racket

to Amané several years ago.

Because she's taking it to school every day since,

it's quite destroyed...

But Amané wants to keep it

and play with it at Junior High...

So Didi tried to restore it !

Thank you Didi.

We were late to celebrate Didi's birthday

but we did it !

 

Ping pong

Important tournament of the best ones in the club.

All kids wear their shirts from the club

and most of them were here to encourage

their coachs and friends.

Nice club, like a family.

 

Critérium régional 2

ready for a big day tournament !!

Regional !!

There are 2 from the club who will play

Training

Coaching by Patricia (volunteer)

and Lola (student from ping-pong class in high school)

Amané finished 2nd.

At night she failed against a girl

she won in morning...

Mummy is reassured...

National is not yet..!!!!

 

Amané got the president of the club as a coach sometimes. 

He's still playing and his kids are really good at this sport too.

End of the day, late at night,

Amané is tired....!!!!
