どもども。
Hi there!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How' your life treating you?
さて、今回の帰国にあたり、Hit-chan、楽しみにしていた事はいくつもあるのですが、その中でも特に楽しみにしていたのが、昨年兄夫婦のもとに生まれた姪っ子、ふうちゃんに会いに行く事でした。
So, I got tons of things on my list for this trip, but one of the most exciting events is that meeting my precious and loving niece, Fu-chan (Hoo-chan) who's my big brother's daughter and born last year.
当日、妹2、スカッチと一緒に、兄夫婦の家のある最寄り駅まで行きました。
On the day, my sister2, Skatch and we met up at the station near my brother's apartment.
最寄駅から家までは近いのですが、兄がわざわざ車で迎えに来てくれました。
My brother's apartment was not that far away from the station, but he kindly came to pick us up by his car.
そういえば、兄が実家を出て行ってから、兄の住んでいる部屋へ訪ねるのは今回が初めてでした。
By the way, this was my very first time to visit where he lives since my brother left my parents' house.
部屋は義姉、Kちゃんのセンスで、綺麗に飾られていました。
The room was decorated so pretty by my sister in law, K-chan.
可愛い～。
So lovely, isnt it?
そうそう、この日Andyっちと義姉Kちゃんは初対面でした。
Oh yeah, it was the frist time for Andy and K-chan to meet on that day.
料理上手の兄がお昼ご飯を作っていてくれました。
My brother is such a nice cook and kindly prepped the lunch for us.
絶品ポテトサラダ。Andyっち、感動して、人生で食べたポテトサラダの中で一番美味しいと言ってました。（レシピ聞いたから、ミネソタでも作れそう！）
This is the best potato salad!! Andy really loved it and said it's the best potato salad in his life! (I got the recipe from my brother so that we can make it back home!)
メインは兄お得意のカレー。安定の旨し。
The main dish was homemade curry which is my brother's very good at. As always, it's very tasty!
辛さも甘口と辛口の2種類を作ってくれて、至れり尽くせり。
He nicely made 2 different spicy levels for us.
そうそう、肝心の楽しみにしていたふうちゃんですが、対面直後に大泣き！（汗）
Oh yeah, speaking of my lovely niece, Fu-chan, she cried so hard once we got in the room!!!
母にも聞いていたんですが、ふうちゃん、普段はご機嫌さんで人見知りもしないそうなんですが、この日は何故かギャン泣きでした。（泣）
My mom was telling me that Fu-chan is such an easy and happpy baby and usually doesn't get shy even with strangers, but not that day!!!
兄夫婦も、「どうしたんやろうなぁ‐。」と首をかしげておりました。
My brother and his wife, K-chan were also wondering, "What's wroung with her today?"
ふうちゃん。
Fu-chan
義姉に抱かれると泣き止むのですが、Hit-chan達が近づくとNG。
Fu-chan stopped crying when she was in her mom's arms, but when any of Andy, Skatch or me got closer to her, she started crying again.
初姪っ子と触れ合いたかった叔母は残念無念。
I was so excited to play with my first niece as her sweet aunt, but it's too bad that I couldn't do it.
本当にいっぱい泣いていたので、ぽてんと眠っちゃいました。眠った顔はビリケンさん、もしくはヒヨコさんみたいで、めちゃくちゃ可愛い！！！！
She really cried a lot, so ended up falling asleep. Her sleeping face looked like the lucky character below or chick and super cute!!
ビリケンさん（画像拝借元）
This is the charater.
ヒヨコさん（画像拝借元）
I meant chick like this.
叔母はここぞとばかりに近づいて、何とか2ショットをゲット。Andyっちに「あんまり近づいちゃダメ！」
と注意されましたけど。(笑)
I took this big chance to take a photo with my lovely niece and got closer to her, but Andy warned me "Honey, don't go too close to her!!" LOL
おもてなし上手の兄は、手動で豆を挽いてコーヒーを淹れてくれました。
My brother is such a wonderful host and he brewed delicious coffee for us with freshly hand ground beans.
兄が出してきたカップ、忘れてたけど、Hit-chanが贈ったカリブーのんやった！使ってくれてて嬉しい！
He took this cup out on the table and it made me remember that I gave him this Caribou cup before. I'm so happy that he's really using it!
可愛い姪っ子、ふうちゃんを抱っこする気満々でしたが、この日は最後まで打ち解ける事はできず、バイバイする事になりました。
I was planning to hold my pretty niece that day, but I ended up not being able to even touch her until the end of the day.
でもでも、本当に何時間見ていても飽きないくらいの、可愛い寝顔を見る事が出来たので良かったです。
Still, I could enjoy watching her sleeping which won't be boring for hours to me.
ミネソタ帰るまでにもう1回は会いに行って、ふうちゃんとお近づきになりたいと思います！
I hope to visit them again before I go back to MN and try to get closer to Fu-chan next!
ちなみに、アパートに戻ってきてから、兄がメールをくれて写真つきメールをくれて。。。
What's funny is that I got a text from my brother when I went back to our apartment and it said...
「もう全然元気やで。」（爆）
"She's happy already." LOL
ふうちゃん、ツンデレガールなのかな？
Is Fu-chan playing around with me??
とにかく、とにかく、可愛い姪っ子＆兄夫婦に会う事ができて本当に楽しかったです！
Oh my, though Fu-chan was not in her best mood, but I'm so happy that I could finally meet her and see my brother and his wife, K-chan again!
お兄ちゃん、ありがとうね！！
Thank you so much, brother!
