駐車場へ向かう途中、偶然その日のコンサートのバイオリンソリストに遭遇。街中でちょっとお喋り。現在21歳のイタリア人の彼は7歳の時からバイオリンを始めたそうです。彼の名前はPaolo Tagliamentoさん。とっても素敵な結婚記念日の晩をアレンジしてくれた夫に感謝。
On the way to a parking garage, we came across the violin soloist from that night's concert by coincidence. We chatted a little on the street. His name is Paolo Tagliamento. He started his violin when he was seven and now is 21 years old. Thanks to my hubby for arranging a nice anniversary evening.

My niece's third baby was born. I forgot how tiny a newborn baby was. She was so cute and precious. I never got bored of looking at her and it was hard to say good bye. Wished I could stay there to see every step of her growing up.
うちの息子たちもメロメロ。。。 My boys were in love with her, too.
Riki turned 22 on January 4th. I was glad that we were able to celebrate his birthday together this year. He will be graduating from a university in fall.

They were snowboarding until dark. After their first time snowboarding, they had pain here and there though they are young and hot bath was super soothing for them when we got back home.
I was sad to say good-bye to boys( I cried a little bit (^^;; ), but I must move on. Now, all of our children left our nest and I am ready to enjoy the next chapter in life.
