So let's back up about two weeks and tell you what's been going on...
まず２週間ぐらい逆上って何が起きたか話しましょう...
Two Tuesdays ago I(Anna) had a tooth extraction and was in a lot of pain. The strong pain killer called Vicodin was making me really nauseous to the point of throwing up so I was trying to get by by taking 200mg of Ibuprofen which didn't help much(I found out later that I was supposed to be taking 800mg but didn't know to do that for about a week so you can imagine the pain...) Well I kept telling myself this pain is just a part of recovery and went on with my life and even had Jacqueline and Liam over for lunch on Thursday and a storytime and lunch with Erina-san and Sana-chan on Friday...
２週間前の火曜日、奥歯を一本抜いたアンナは沢山の痛みと戦っていました。お医者さんが出してくれた強めの痛み止めを飲むと凄い気持ち悪くなっていたアンナ、だからイブプロフェンを８００mg飲んでも良いと知らずにたった２００mgずつ飲んでいたアンナは、これは普通の痛みなんだと自分に良い聞かせながらいつも通りの生活をして、リアムとジャッカリンと遊んだり（木曜日)エリナさんとサナちゃんと遊んだり(金曜日)しました...
On Thursday I got a phone call from an agency and she told me the company that I interviewed with on the previous Friday wanted me to start freelancing for them on Monday... I was happy at first and even arranged next week's Madison sitting with Jacqueline who happened to be there when I got the call... But then I got really depressed thinking about leaving Madison with someone besides Dave although Jacqueline is absolutely the perfect choice for Madison since she has a son, Liam who is about two months younger and they play with each other every week so obviously very comfortable with each other AND a big plus, she is a pediatric nurse!! Just the thought of having to drop her off somewhere and go to work was really hard on my heart and remember my mouth pain was getting worse as the weekend approached...
その木曜日の日、先週面接に行ったばかりの会社から電話が来て月曜日から働けるかと言う事...まず最初は嬉がっていたアンナ、早速そこにちょうど居たジャッカリンに来週マディソンのお子守り(デイブはもう１週間学校に行かなきゃいけない)を頼んでと準備着々... ところがマディソンを誰かに預けて一日中仕事に行くと言う事を実感し始めてとっても寂しい気分、でもデイブ以外の誰かにマディソンを預けるとしたらジャッカリン(同い年で毎週遊ぶ息子のリアムのママで、ママに成る前は小児科の看護婦)が一番目の人なんだけど...でもムーニー家にマディソンを置いて仕事に行く事を考えたら胸が痛くなる毎日...しかも歯の痛みは日に日に増していった...
Friday, before Anna headed back to work, Madison had her two year check-up where she got to put on this cute, but slightly strange gown...
金曜日に２才検診に行ってマディソンは可愛いガウンを着れて嬉しそう...

お腹を出して見ているマディソン...
Friday night we had tickets to Sesame Street Live at the Long Beach Convention Center just a few blocks from our place...while it wasn't Broadway, Madison seemed to really enjoy herself!! We have a video of Madison wrapped in streamers from the end of the show, but unfortunately the videos aren't loading right now...
そしてその夜近くの劇場までセサミストリートのミュージカルを見に行ってきました...ニューヨークで見慣れていたミュージカルとは断然違うけど、マディソンは気に入ったみたい!!
The pain got unbearable by Sunday and finally Dave had to call the on call doctor to let him know of the complication because I suspected Dry Socket from all the research online. He told me that I needed to come see him in the morning...:-(
痛みが我慢出来ないくらい増した日曜日の夕方、とうとう僕は治療したお医者さんに電話そして、次の日の朝にお医者さんに会いに行かなきゃいけなくなりました...：(
On Monday(first day of my new job), I dropped Madison off at Jacqueline's which went better than I thought, no tears from either of us, definitely not from Madison as she was very happy to see Liam so early in the morning... Then I had to drive myself to the oral surgeon's office and he confirmed that I do have dry socket and stuffed the hole with something that smelled and I was off to my new job... I did warn the new boss that I will be late but I ended up only being 15 minutes late so I was pretty happy with how the morning went. Then I got to work right away and stayed busy until about 6. Since this was Dave's last week he had a short day everyday so he was able to go pick up Madison around 1:30 then take her home for her nap(and his nap I'm sure) while I produced some bacon...:-)
そしてとうとう来た月曜日、マディソンをジャッカリン家に送って(思ったよりあっけない、リアムに会えてとても嬉しそうなマディソンからも私からも涙無し...)歯医者さんのところへ直行、変な匂いのする物を歯を抜いて出来た穴に埋めて治療終了。会社の人には送れると言っておいたけど、結局はたったの１５分遅れでした...：）早速グラフィックデザインの仕事を初めて６時で終わり。この週がデイブの学校の最後の週だったからデイブは毎日１時には終わりでマディソンをお昼寝の時間前に迎えに行く事が出来ました...：）
Then we repeated this for another four more days... And I wish I took a picture of Dave's car we rented for the week which was a pale blue beetle because it was the cutest thing... I never got to see the inside or how the tall Dave, a car seat and Madison fit inside that but I was told they fit quite nicely...:-)
そしてこれを後４日間繰り返しました... そしてこの１週間借りていたデイヴの車の写真を撮っておけば良かったな〜、特にお母さんの為に...：）黄色じゃなくて水色だったんだけどビートルに乗っていたんだよ...中を一度も見る機会が無かったからどのくらい広いのかみれなかったけど、どうやって背の高いデイブが入ったのかやマディソンのカーシートが入ったのかは今でも不思議です...：）
I LOVE Jacqueline!! She texted me a picture or two of Madison and Liam playing during the day so I can chuckle and keep going at work knowing she is having a great time there:-)
ジャッカリンってとっても良い人!!毎日仕事中に私のケータイにマディソンの写真を送ってくれたから、マディソンが楽しんでいるっていうのを知りながら、仕事に集中する事が出来ました：）
Monday: Madison and Liam went outside to kick some soccer balls... By the way her Daddy&Me Soccer is starting this Friday for 8 weeks so you can expect some adorable pictures and videos soon...:-)
月曜日：マディソンとリアムは外でサッカー...そして、来週の金曜日からサッカーのクラスに８週間行く事になっているので、可愛い写真とビデオをお楽しみに...：）
Tuesday: They played with play-doh... It's kind of embarrassing but I hadn't introduced Madison to play-doh before this day so this was her first time at it but looks like she was being pretty creative...:-)
火曜日：粘土で遊んだみたい...恥ずかしながらこの日まで粘土で遊ばせた事が無かったので、上手に遊んでいたよと聞いてちょっとびっくり...：）理由：粘土食べちゃいそうだから。
Thursday: Painting Day...Madison created a precious painting of her hand prints for Daddy and another work of art for Mommy...so sweet!!
木曜日：水塗り絵の日...手形の作品をパパに、スプラッターのすごいさくひんをママに...なんて思いやりのある子!!
Friday: Jacqueline took Madison and Liam to see a horse her mom's friend owns and I couldn't believe it when I saw this picture of Madison sitting on a horse on my phone! Jacqueline said Madison did better than Liam and I'm so proud of her!!
金曜日：ジャッカリンが知り合いの持っている馬を見に２人を連れて行ってくれました。すっごい、マディソン！ジャッカリンによるとマディソンはリアムより断然平気で楽しんでいたらしい、感激!!
Saturday we headed to Disneyland for the early morning shift and were very pleasantly pleased by the lack of crowds...we rode Pirates of the Caribbean in 5 minutes and the new Little Mermaid Ride in 15 minutes...the longest wait was actually for our morning croissant and muffin :-) We also caught the elusive Donald Duck at California Adventure...Madison had her typical stage fright, but we gave her Mickey again and that helped a bit...she gave Mickey to Donald who hid him behind his back (Donald is jealous of Mickey), but then Pluto, who was next to Donald came over and snatched Mickey...it was very funny...
土曜日はもちろんディズニーランドへ朝早く訪問、朝早すぎたのか思ったより空いているディズニーランドにビックリ...カリブの海賊なんて５分待ちでした、しかも新しいリトルマーメイドの乗り物も１５分待ちだけ...一番待ち時間が長かったのは朝ご飯のマフィンとクロワッサンの列...：）カリフォルニアアドベンチャーでドナルドダックを発見...急に怖くなってしまったマディソンはミッキーを連れてオドオド近づいたんだれど、ミッキーの大ファンではないドナルドにミッキーを取られてしまいました、でも横に居たプルーとのお陰でミッキーを取り返す事が出来てめでたし、めでたし...
We spent the afternoon playing our first bit of beach volleyball since we arrived in Southern California with some friends from church...it was brutally windy, but Anna was still able to show off her skills...girl has still got it!!
そして土曜日の午後は教会からの友達達とビーチバレーボールを楽しみました...風がとても強くて方向調整が難しかったけど、やっぱり私バレー出来る!!
Today: The Father's Day, started with a major Madison melt down when we tried to put her shirt on for worship...Madison has learned a few words as of late, such as "Mine," "No," and "Stop It..." So Mommy and Daddy are learning some words of their own such as "TimeOut" and "Oh, No You Didn't" followed by a snap :-) After Madison's meltdown we had a pretty routine Sunday choosing to get some much needed grocery shopping done after morning worship, since this is the one day we had to work with.
今日：父の日。教会に行く用意中マディソンが服を着たくなくてグズこねて大変...最近良く言う様になった、マイン(私の!)、ヤダ！、とかダメ！を連発... そしてその後は私達からのタイムアウト!...
BONUS PIC...Daddy's Little Girl...
ボーナス写真...パパの愛しい娘...
It was Madison and 8 or so other kids with their parents and all showed exceedingly more skill then our Madison. The "coach" wanted us to practice dribbling, but Madison only has kicking the ball as hard as she can down, so that did not go well...
Madison's two favorite parade floats...

Main Courses
For Dessert we shared a Pana Cotta which was spectacular!! And were surprised by complimentary strawberries covered in chocolate for our anniversary.
リアムは後ろ向きに滑るのが好きらしい、マディソンは前向きだよね〜：）
本当にアツアツで困るな〜：）
そして、火曜日のお話の時間の後近くに住んでいるお友達、リアムの家に遊びに行ってきましたスッパ〜!!!建築家のボブって言うテレビ番組が大好きなリアム、早速安全の為にヘルメットを冠って建築開始です...：）
