The way I felt so happy when Sara and Joshua said they made new friends on their first day of school. I hope the same goes for Becca and Anna. I cried a few tears here and there when the twins were conducting and especially that part when Anna cried. Changes can be tough for kids and I hope and pray it will get better fast.
My Own Road 私も合唱コンクールで10年前に歌いました。とても懐かしくあたたかい気持ちになった一方で、ベッカとアンナの友だちとの別れには胸が締め付けられました😭新しい環境は誰でも緊張します。「自分の力で拓く道だから一歩ずつでも進めばいいよね」ちょっとずつ慣れてちょっとずつ頑張ったらいいんだと思います！応援してます😉🫶頑張れライター4姉弟！
It's sad to say goodbye, I cried after the girls showed the notes they received; it's a very special gift. I'm glad things worked out for Sarah and Joshua. As parents, it must be challenging to do everything, but it's good to see your friends and family helping you around. Can't wait for the new adventures and memories in this new place!
I'm so impressed with your daughter's conducting skills! I'm also loving your words of wisdom, and enjoying the way you tease the next episode. It's like watching my favorite show on TV😊
I hope the older two had a good first day like their siblings. Changing schools is rough, especially if you have lots of friends there. The gifts they received from their classmates are very special.
I love your quote mate… I agreed… “Every thing we go through in life make us into who we are… friends and experiences… old and new all come together to create the rich experience that is life”
Excellent jobs! Both daughters conducted very well. I think that they definitely got good memories for this junior high school and classmates. I wish you and your family enjoy more at the moved place.
I can remember my first day in a new school in Canada. I didn’t speak a word of English. Didn’t take long to learn it though. I arrived in April and by September I could read a book in English. I wish you all the best of luck with so many changes. I did google Paz church last night.
So bittersweet, I also cried knowing how tough it can be to transition to a new home and school as a teen. Blessings for a great end to the school year.
My family which includes my school aged kiddo have also recently moved across the US and watching your videos has been so therapeutic for all of us. He can completely relate to what your kiddos are experiencing. I hope that your family is settling in nicely. Good days and new adventures are just around the corner!
This was so touching. The girls did wonderful and all of the kids looked and sounded amazing! How touching that the girls' friends will really miss them. Once again I cried my eyes out to see emotional they felt about leaving. God has wonderful plans and adventures in store for you guys. 🥰🙌🏽
I remember when I was changing schools after moving to a new town, it was scary and fun at the same time. I still miss my old friends but keep in touch with them thankfully! I hope all of them have fun with their new friends and new schools!
So glad to see that your children are handling the transition so well, and I loved the notes that they received. I hope your journey continues smoothly.
Heeyy, thank you for sharing the conducting part with us, the girls did amazing! Im happy the younger kids love their new schools and making friends fast. God bless your family!
Ahhh, I shed a tear as well. As a parent, I too feel worried for your kids starting new schools! But surely they will be just fine! God bless your family.
I had to move so many times as a kid, and twice in the middle of school years. Eventually you shut down and stop even trying to make friends, because you're just going to lose them when you move on again, anyway. Even in my 40s now, I have a very hard time opening up to people, because I could never shake that 'what's the point' feeling. I know moving is sometimes unavoidable, but I think I would have done anything for a stable home life growing up.
So proud of Anna and Rebecca’s conducting - great job, girls! You made Aunt Joy cry! And Sarah and Joshua off to a great start in their new school. I’m praying for all of you!
I love your energy, dad!! 😆 I’ve experienced transferring schools before too, so I can relate to your kids very well. It was especially very emotional seeing your daughter cry 😢 Wishing your family all the best ✨
The last two episodes were so touching! I'm so impressed by the twins, they did a great job with the conducting, it was such a special moment for them. Looking at the gifts they got from their classmates you could tell how much they will be missed at their old school. Wishing them all the best at their new school! And we were happy to see the younger kids had a good start at their new school. Best wishes to them too! 😊
What a Nice family! A warm and loving home, so you all can go and make happy any where, l think. A life is challenge. It's always hard to say goodbye to good friends. But I'm sure your children are grow up strong and spiritually rich. Up until now and from now on, I'm looking forward your nice video!
I'm so glad that Sarah and Joshua had a positive transition to their new school. Anna and Becca did a marvelous job conducting. What a special experience.
This was another emotional episode for me! I almost teared up about the kids crying! I hope all is well for the family and everyone settles into the new routine!!
i moved schools twice as a kid and at similar ages to the children, youre handling it great! thank you for giving them the extra attention they need, kids can be tough but they need that support at times like these, youre doing great!
I'm glad Josh and Sarah enjoyed their first day at their new school! Hope the girls have a good time as well! Those gifts their classmates gave them look amazing!
Fighting through covid all week this was definitely the warm hearted pickme up I needed. God bless you and your family and thank you for letting us join on your adventures
Oh my goodness👀‼️ I know Anna's class sang song because I played the piano when I was 1st grade of middle school music festival about twenty years ago🎹 I was surprised students was still being sung this song✨
I love catching up with your family every Friday! It gives me something to look forward to at the end of the week. Glad everyone is settling in, wishing you all the best from Minnesota!
I had experienced change of school twice during primary one and once during junior high one. Those were trying days and made me inactive, which left me a bitter memory. I wish this time experience of your kids don't influence on them negatively. Such tender-hearted twins as were given sweet messages for short half a year semester would get good friends again. I'd like you to tell Anna especially, who I predicted might stay in Japan on end as she seems to have Japanese sentiment, "Put away the message card until you feel trying by all means not to miss tomorrow."
My Own Road and Towards Tomorrow are the best Japanese choral songs! Especially for end of year. They sound better than the American songs musically. it's even better when you can translate them even after just 2 years of Japanese. ありがとう、げんき教科書I and II.
I've been watching your videos since my twins were little😊Transferring schools is a sad thing even in Japan. We were good friends😊I'm glad my younger brother made new friends❗️I'm watching over the writer's family from Osaka👍
It’s hard to start a new school and left your friends and teacher at your old school. Also it hard to start in the middle of the school year. I know the the feel when start a new school and making new friends and getting to know your teachers. Can’t wait to next video
Konbanwa, Reutter's family!! 🤗 Becca-chan and Anna-chan acted wonderfully as conductors. 👏👏👏 It's amazing that both twins are conductors! As a parent, don't you feel proud? Children grow up in a blink of an eye.

立派な娘さんに成長しましたね。
立派なご両親です。
ベッカさんとアナさんが合唱の指揮をする後ろ姿は級友との最後の思い出づくりという気持ちがよく伝わってきました。別れは本当にさみしいですが、その気持ちはこれまでの友達や学校での生活が充実していたことの証拠でしょう。新しい学校でもすぐに良いお友達ができるでしょう。いつも素直でまっすぐな子どもさんの心の成長に私も胸が熱くなります。
I shed tears on so many of the episodes lately. Changing schools can be so difficult, I really hope your children do well at the new schools
So have we! :)
The kids who grew up like them are the most grounded, cultured and resilient kids. We move a lot ourselves as we are a military family.

二人とも指揮者、カッコいい👍️😂
新しい学校皆、楽しんで☺️

子供の適応力は本当にすごいね。
My Own Road 私も合唱コンクールで10年前に歌いました。とても懐かしくあたたかい気持ちになった一方で、ベッカとアンナの友だちとの別れには胸が締め付けられました😭新しい環境は誰でも緊張します。「自分の力で拓く道だから一歩ずつでも進めばいいよね」ちょっとずつ慣れてちょっとずつ頑張ったらいいんだと思います！応援してます😉🫶頑張れライター4姉弟！
同じ子供を持つ親として尊敬します。
どの動画も見ていてとても心が温まります。素敵な方々に出会えた気分です😊

Me too, the students are mostly very kind to each other.
Their chorus were really great! They moved me very much. I hope you all will enjoy your new life!
子供たちの成長を見ているとこちらまで笑顔になります。新しい家で新しい学校生活も始まりこれから楽しみです。合唱祭もとても素晴らしかったです。
I'm so impressed with your daughter's conducting skills! I'm also loving your words of wisdom, and enjoying the way you tease the next episode. It's like watching my favorite show on TV😊
Thanks so much - you always leave such encouraging comments!
Beautiful. The schools in Japan are so good. ❤
I hope the older two had a good first day like their siblings. Changing schools is rough, especially if you have lots of friends there. The gifts they received from their classmates are very special.
別れと出逢い それを糧にして子供達は一層大きく 視野も広がる アメリカ🇺🇸やブラジル🇧🇷で これを見ているお爺様お婆様たちも一安心かも知れませんね レベッカさんとアンナさんの舞台上のお辞儀も綺麗でした 😊👌💮👏👏👏👏
Beautiful daughters
いつも楽しい配信ありがとうございます😌💫
学校生活での様々な想い出の中で、子供ちゃん達がお友達からとても愛されてるのがとても私の心に伝わり、感動してもらい泣きしてしまいました💖😭💖
これからもご家族の愛を発信して行ってください✨😊
また楽しみにしてます🤗
I love your quote mate… I agreed…
“Every thing we go through in life make us into who we are… friends and experiences… old and new all come together to create the rich experience that is life”
When your twin daughters were conducting their each choir, made my heart melt and my eyes wet 😢😂❤❤❤
皆さんが幸せでありますように。
I can't watch this without tears.😭
アナちゃん、ベッカちゃん無事に合唱祭を終えて、指揮をするんなんて凄いです😆
うちも息子は合唱祭を先週やりました。歌声を聞くと日々練習してきた成果が見られて私は感動しました。
サラちゃん、ジョシュアくんも新しい学校で友達が出来てよかったですね😊新しい学校生活が楽しみになってきますね。
コタツは温かくて気持ちいいですよ。
Many thanks for sharing. Wish you and your family the best

Oh wow- you learned fast! Kids have an amazing aptitude to learn.
So bittersweet, I also cried knowing how tough it can be to transition to a new home and school as a teen. Blessings for a great end to the school year.

I'm sure it will take a couple of months before things really get settled for all of us.
This was so touching. The girls did wonderful and all of the kids looked and sounded amazing! How touching that the girls' friends will really miss them. Once again I cried my eyes out to see emotional they felt about leaving. God has wonderful plans and adventures in store for you guys. 🥰🙌🏽
Thanks so much
双子さんの指揮者素晴らしかったです。サラちゃん、ジョシュアくんすぐにお友達できて良かったですね。
When I was 8 I moved from New Mexico to Florida. It was so hard. May God continue to bless your family!
I remember when I was changing schools after moving to a new town, it was scary and fun at the same time. I still miss my old friends but keep in touch with them thankfully! I hope all of them have fun with their new friends and new schools!
So glad to see that your children are handling the transition so well, and I loved the notes that they received. I hope your journey continues smoothly.
子供たちが転校でストレスを感じないよう励ますパパさん優しいですね。
心配しましたが、ジョシュア君とサラちゃんはすぐ友達が出来て良かったです。
合唱祭でベッカさんとアナさんは指揮をやって、良い思い出作りになりましたね。
私は中学時代の恩師を今でも尊敬しています。すごく厳しく面白い「リューさん」
理科の先生で名前からH2SO4(硫酸)というニックネームでした。
ワキさん 体育の先生で厳しくて数えきれないゲンコツをもらいました。
愛のムチを頂いたおかげで鉄棒や水泳が出来るようになりました。
子供達も日本の学校で良い思い出ができるといいですね。
あ～今回はスーパープレミア回でしたね～! アナちゃんが寄せ書き見せてるときに顔を伏せて涙ぐんでるのを見て、本当にクラスに溶け込んでいたのがよくわかりましたよ(; ;)
I really like this video. Even if you move away, the wonderful memories will remain forever in your heart🤗Good luck👍
学友との別れは辛いですよね。私も過去に何度も体験していますが、新しい出会いを楽しみことです。最初は手探りでもね。親友は大人になった時に出来ることが多いですよ。
合唱素晴らしいですね 心打たれましたよ 頑張りましたね
Heeyy, thank you for sharing the conducting part with us, the girls did amazing! Im happy the younger kids love their new schools and making friends fast. God bless your family!
I think I can speak for everybody else when I say that I really love this family very much ❤ May God bless you all!!!!😊😇👏🙌🙏👍🎉
今週も盛り沢山！
忙しすぎてパパさんママちゃんは目が回りそうですね😂😂
友達や体験の積み重ね、本当にその通りだと思います。
全てが貴重な経験で財産ですね😊
I just get goose bumps listening to those kids sing. So precious. They did a great job leading them.
Ahhh, I shed a tear as well. As a parent, I too feel worried for your kids starting new schools! But surely they will be just fine! God bless your family.

良いクラスメイトに恵まれたんだね☺️
少しずつ新しい環境に馴染めると良いね🤝🏻✨
良いタイミングの転校で幸いでしたね。
皆さんが幸せな生活を新しい家と共に歩まれていく事を心より願います。
中学で一時離れても高校で再会する友人もきっと少なからずいるでしょう。
コタツ置いたら寒い日にコタツから出たくなくなり堕落しまっせ、牧師パパさん(笑)。
お幸せに！
コタツとザルに入れたミカンは日本の古き良き冬の文化です(笑)。
So proud of Anna and Rebecca’s conducting - great job, girls! You made Aunt Joy cry! And Sarah and Joshua off to a great start in their new school. I’m praying for all of you!
Thanks Aunt Joy - I let them all know!
子供の成長を喜び、時には悩み相談に乗ったり、素晴らしいご両親ですね。ジョシュア君は、何に興味があって、将来どんな仕事をするのかな？パパさんの仕事っぷりを見て、いい青年に育つと思います。
動画からたくさんの愛が感じられて、私はかなり泣きました。
みなさんが幸せでありますように。
何か、トラブルがあったらぜひすぐに動画にしてね。
みんなで考えよう。
I love your energy, dad!! 😆
I’ve experienced transferring schools before too, so I can relate to your kids very well.
It was especially very emotional seeing your daughter cry 😢 Wishing your family all the best ✨
今回も素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます🌹🌹🌹
みんな大きくなったよね😢
嬉しいです🌹🌹🌹
I'm literary crying watching this.....
The last two episodes were so touching! I'm so impressed by the twins, they did a great job with the conducting, it was such a special moment for them. Looking at the gifts they got from their classmates you could tell how much they will be missed at their old school. Wishing them all the best at their new school! And we were happy to see the younger kids had a good start at their new school. Best wishes to them too! 😊
Thank you so much!
Praying that God uses you in this new place / areas in even better ways than you’d expected 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Owen!
🌸一期一会🌸

ライター家の子供達みんな頑張った👌
What a Nice family! A warm and loving home, so you all can go and make happy any where, l think. A life is challenge. It's always hard to say goodbye to good friends. But I'm sure your children are grow up strong and spiritually rich.
Up until now and from now on, I'm looking forward your nice video!
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm so glad that Sarah and Joshua had a positive transition to their new school. Anna and Becca did a marvelous job conducting. What a special experience.
指揮者かっこいい👍
My one regret in life was having never lived and worked in Japan….What would I give to be able to spend my youth there ❤️🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵❤️
It’s a difficult time to change schools for the older girls in particular! I hope they all can adjust quickly to a new house and school routine.❤🇨🇦
Bless your beautiful family Mumma and Pappa! Thank you for sharing your life 🙏❤
Thanks so much
This was another emotional episode for me! I almost teared up about the kids crying! I hope all is well for the family and everyone settles into the new routine!!
There have been a lot of emotional days around here!
i moved schools twice as a kid and at similar ages to the children, youre handling it great! thank you for giving them the extra attention they need, kids can be tough but they need that support at times like these, youre doing great!
合唱とても感動しました！My Own Road と明日へは僕自身も合唱祭で歌っていて、ノスタルジアに浸ってしまいました笑 レベッカさんとアンナさん指揮者お疲れ様でした！
ライター家の子供達の成長が、我が子や孫の様に感じて、とても嬉しく
とても楽しく感じます、５年後１０年後どういう風に成長するか楽しみです、
それまでも配信お願い致します。
I'm glad Josh and Sarah enjoyed their first day at their new school! Hope the girls have a good time as well! Those gifts their classmates gave them look amazing!
Fighting through covid all week this was definitely the warm hearted pickme up I needed. God bless you and your family and thank you for letting us join on your adventures

Aw thanks - I bet things are chilly in Minnesota by now! I grew up in Illinois :)
素晴らしいね～感涙！立派な成長が眩しいです♪新しい学校でも良いお友達ができるでしょう。胸が熱くなりました💓✨

公立でも地区によって雰囲気がまったく違いますね。イジメが多発して荒れてる地区もありますから ここは本当に良い地区です。
合唱祭での指揮素晴らしいですね。
これから友達がたくさんできることでしょう。
いつも楽しみに拝見しています。
My Own Road and Towards Tomorrow are the best Japanese choral songs! Especially for end of year. They sound better than the American songs musically. it's even better when you can translate them even after just 2 years of Japanese. ありがとう、げんき教科書I and II.
What an Awesome experience for y’all blessings from North Texas
Excellent video 👏👏👏 Sad moments for Anna and Becca leaving their old school friends... I hope they make a ton of good friends at their new school 👍💞💞
レベッカもアンナもたくましく成長したと関心します。日本の友達も良い刺激を受けたと思います。ご両親も４人の子供達を愛情深く育ててると。大変なこともたくさんあると思いますがこれからの動画も楽しみにしています。それにしても編集が素晴らしい。
wow, the view over the neighborhood looks stunning ✨
I'm looking forward to the scaffolding being taken down in about a month or two.
Well done Rebecca and Anna your both great conductors and the song's sounded so great well done to the students.
Greetings from Atlanta! Great concert. Well done! I hope you are already making wonderful memories in your new school.
I've been watching your videos since my twins were little😊Transferring schools is a sad thing even in Japan. We were good friends😊I'm glad my younger brother made new friends❗️I'm watching over the writer's family from Osaka👍
Thanks so much. Interesting fact: Osaka has the largest percentage of Life in Japan viewers!
That's a surprise❣️Maybe it's because Kansai people are friendly about anything😄Thank you for your reply😊
I think. In the future.
You should show this video to the children.
your family will be impressed. You are good papa.
美人な双子ちゃん！ これからが楽しみですねー 頑張って下さい！！
It was a very nice chorus.
The girls conducting were so dignified in their ministry!
I hope the girls will have wonderful memories of this event.
The people you are raising are the hope for the future.
あなたが育ている人は、未来を担う希望。
お父さんがポジティブで楽しそうな一家ですねー
7:21 電車の中で泣きそうになった
同じく私もです😂
でも私は自宅だったので完全に泣きました😂
@@ちゃんユカ 旅行中のジョシュアの涙と同じくやられました...
Good luck on your new journey
It’s hard to start a new school and left your friends and teacher at your old school. Also it hard to start in the middle of the school year. I know the the feel when start a new school and making new friends and getting to know your teachers. Can’t wait to next video
Konbanwa, Reutter's family!! 🤗
Becca-chan and Anna-chan acted wonderfully as conductors. 👏👏👏
It's amazing that both twins are conductors!
As a parent, don't you feel proud?
Children grow up in a blink of an eye.
what a wonderful family you are🤗 I love guys!😻
Thanks!
小学校からの同級生と別れるって辛いよなぁ～。せめて中学卒業までは一緒に居させてあげたかったね。高校は受験やなんやで別の高校に行くことになるのが普通だから。見送る方も、転校していく方も、ずっと心に残ってる「あの子、頑張ってるかなぁ、新しい中学でもう友達できたかなぁ、いじめられてないかなぁ、自分達のこと忘れたかなぁ」少しの間、結構なストレスなので、パパ、ママ、細心の注意を払って、優しく見守ってあげて下さい！新しい学校でも楽しい人生が送れますように！
嗚呼
素晴らしい😂
若いコーラスに入り込んでしまった
良い思い出になりますね
Even after 70 years, I still have a junior high school reunion, but I think it will be a good memory.
Congratulations 👏
なにこの幸せな動画
Becca is such a talented artist! I love her drawings ✍️.
All of her friends drew those! (But she is good too- ha ha)
Good luck girls.👩👩👧👧
