めっちゃ大変なのに、みんないつも笑顔なのが素敵

[@文子-g4n]

何が起こっても、どんな時でもいつもニコニコ、体は疲れても、心は元気、本当に感心します。

[@rachelcookie321]

I hope everyone is able to adapt well to their new school and make friends.

[@松尾和敏-g5i]

この一家の凄さ。郷に入れば郷に従え　の格言にある通り。日本の文化に触れているけれど染まらない。それが尊敬に値する。それに、ご夫妻の愛情を受けた子どもたちの明るい表情。こんな外国人がもっと増えたらいいな。新入居、おめでとうございます🎊

[@LIJ]

ご丁寧なコメントをありがとうございます。

[@natsuha-pd9hv]

私の子供達は大きくなりましたが、子供達の接し方を見ていて私もこの様な子育てができていたら良かったなぁと感心します。大変な事も多いと思いますが応援してます！

[@toffy6508]

大変な事もネガティブに捉えず、いつもポジティブに笑顔で過ごしてる姿、とても素敵ですね。日本文化や習慣に上手く順応して、楽しんでる姿にとても微笑ましいです。 アメリカと文化が大きく違うので大変かと思いますが、日本を沢山満喫して下さいね！これからも応援しています！

[@JapanDream808]

Congratulations! What an awesome and spacious new place! I also like what you said about your memories living on in the KZbin archives. That's one of the reasons why I started my channel. Eventually, when I move back to Hawaii, I'll be able to relive all these great times in Japan, while sharing them with the world. Aloha from Yokohama🤙

[@CarlsVlogs]

Wow Hawaii, beautiful place but very expensive to live. Unless you have a well paid job. Like you probably have, I have good memories of the islands as a child.

[@LIJ]

Thanks - that's right! It's a lot of work now, but how great to have those memories.

[@TheHeartSmart1]

Your positivity in the midst of trouble is so inspiring. And your wife's sense of humor....you guys are the key to coping!

[@LIJ]

Just trying to keep it together here :) Ha ha!

[@dianeamison-loring7204]

Love the tatami room section! May God bless you all as you move into your new home and a new chapter in your family life. Moving is stressful. Be patient with each other.

[@LIJ]

Yes indeed!

[@fana2803]

I also moved last month. I threw away a lot of things I didn't need, but the memories that were there didn't disappear. Therefore, this experience should be an irreplaceable memory for children🤗 Congratulations on your new home.May your home be filled with love and joy every day! Good luck at your new home!🏘←🚚🧔🏼👱👩🏼👩🏼👧🏼🧒🏼💓

[@LIJ]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@gabunnie1]

I'm SO happy for you all having more space! The 2 older girls not having to go so far to school is a very good thing too! Very nice, new home!

[@ashleydaniel3215]

So glad you all got through the stress of moving🤗 it's always fun to explore new surroundings when you're settling in.

[@如月二郎-v2k]

私も数回、引っ越しの経験がありますが、肉体的にも精神的にも結構疲れますよね。子供さんたちの学校が変わるのも大変です。思い出沢山の家ともお別れですが、早く新居に慣れて落ち着かれる事祈っております。ご家族みんな一緒に居れるにが一番幸せですね！😊

[@youcanletgox3]

Ahh that balcony is dreamy, more space for Ruth's plant babies! Can't wait to see all of your new adventures in your new neighborhood!

[@LIJ]

We can't wait to use the balcony. It's really big, but since there is construction happening, we won't be able to use them for another 3 months or so.

[@elteescat]

I know a move is bittersweet! So sad to say goodbye to an old home, but so exciting to start over in a new home! I wish you guys continued success and happiness in your new home! Have a good transition!

[@ネモカオ]

Moving IS a challenge! We were in Scotland for 6-1/2 years (moved twice while there!) and in June we moved back to California in San Bernardino County, then two months later moved 100 miles south, to Carlsbad. We have been here in this house for 5 months and there is still lots to do. Two of us aged 70-71, so we are not as fast as you😊. God bless your new home and the kids in their new schools! How nice that mom can be near her sister!

[@LIJ]

Wow- you've been in many different places (and climates)! Thanks for commenting.

[@Carol-Bell]

@@LIJ correction I said 5 months- we have been here only 5 WEEKS!!! lol God has been so good to us, and I am sure your family has God’s arms wrapped around you too, and that is part of what makes all things possible.

[@lruss5050]

It’s always interesting watching other people move! I hope you enjoy your new home!❤

[@leepomoka]

早く来週の動画見たいなー🎵 楽しみにしてます☺

仲良し家族の笑顔は最高の宝物☆彡。

[@user-nr7hr2is1kw6a]

6:02～ 引っ越しって家が変わるだけでなく風景も変わるんだなっていうのが今回よく分かりました…(当たり前のことですけど)。川沿いでいい思い出が沢山あったと思いますが、やはりいいロケーションから離れるのはちょっと残念ですね。ただ新居はフロアが上のようなので、前居とは違った思い出もできるといいですね！

[@kpopsweetlemon1396]

I feel so bad I forgot about your channel. Here I am I will come to watch your channel very Friday. your videos heal my heart and make my day better. why did the ending almost made me cry. hope you have a happy new chapter ahead in life.

I also experienced frequent school change in Japan on my childhood, and it really helped to grow mentally and learned to adjust new environment.

Congratulations on getting the new place, I hope your move went well, I know it’s been raining this week we are so happy that it finally stopped on Saturday, we had to move in the rain as well, it was rough. Love the tatami mat room, we have one too and that’s where we’re sleeping. We’re praying for you and just remember God provides!!!

[@lillycstreeter]

Congrats for your new home and I can’t what happened next

[@stdocyuze9000]

Looks so lovely apartment house. Mama-chan seems so excited and to enjoy even heavy rain.😅 By the way, In Japan, a 'typhoon passing' refers to the period when a typhoon passes and it gets sunny again. It is called 「台風一過」in Japanese and usually brings a glorious day, washing off everything in the air. It's so suitable for your new chapter of life.

[@LIJ]

That's exactly right. It's interesting how the weather perfectly matched what we were going through!

[@1949chefjojo]

Sending you all Blessings and prayers and LOVE❤ from Calvary Chapel Palmdale ,CALIFORNIA.

[@TheHikari100]

入居先決定おめでとうございます。 以前の多摩川が見えるおうちものどかで良かったですが、電車と学校が目の前の新居も刺激的で生活が楽しみですね。 仕方がない事とはいえお子様達の転校は少し寂しいですね。 別れも新たな出会いもどちらも大きな試練です。 家族や親戚以外の同年代の友人の存在は、大人になっても得難い人生の財産だと思います。 新しい学校でもお友達がたくさんできると良いですね。 Congratulations on deciding where to move in. Your previous home with a view of the Tama River was nice and peaceful, but your new home in front of the train and school is also exciting and you are looking forward to living there. Although it is inevitable, it is a little sad to see your children move to a new school. Both goodbyes and new encounters are big ordeals. I think that having friends of the same age outside of family and relatives is a life asset that is hard to obtain even as an adult. I hope your child will make many friends at the new school.

[@LIJ]

So you're starting life in your new home! Your children are moving to a new school. I know you will be sad, but I believe it will be a good experience for you as you expand your friendships with friends from your former school and friends from your new school.

[@tsps621]

Is the new place all on one level? Hopefully by now you are mostly settled in and kids have started the new school.

[@LIJ]

We just moved, so we have a lot to do yet!

[@kimberlydeverell2863]

Moving is such a pain! I hope we are in our forever house....after moving 10+ times in 14 years, I'm ready to be settled. When we bought our first house in Washington, we got to live there for 6 months before my husband got a job offer in his software development field at Fort Knox, KY, so we put the house up for rent and moved to Kentucky...except that he went first, and I was left to pack up our house, put only what I could fit in our SUV and the cats, and put everything else into storage for a year. Not. Fun. That was probably the absolute worst move ever. Then of course moving back after a year and having to unpack everything again and do repairs from the renters (never again) only to decide by November that same year that we were tired of the high cost of living and rising taxes and decided to sell and move east again to Indiana. ugh. Packing up everything again was tiring, but if we had stayed, we would not have been able to afford the cost of living and likely would have ended up homeless. Moving to Indiana has been a huge blessing in disguise. Your new place looks great. I'm sure once everyone is settled in, it will feel like home.

[@LIJ]

I grew up in semi-rural Illinois and just loved it. I hope you can settle in as well!

[@山岸芳郎-x9u]

8年間住み慣れた家から引っ越すって色々な事情もあい重なりうれしくもあり悲しくも（子供たちが友との別れが）ありですよね。母は妹さんが近くに住んでて超がつくくらい嬉しいのでしょうね。新居に越す事はよくよく考えれば夢がありますね。各人の部屋の割りあて家具はここに、冷蔵庫は？TV,洗濯機、等々考えたらキリがないくらい。友との別れもつらいが、ワクワク感の方が勝ってる家族全員の笑顔を見て安心致しました。越した後の動画楽しみにしています。障子がありましたね。幼い頃人差し指をなめ障子紙に押し当てて＜穴＞を開け親にゲンコツをくらいましたが、この遊び子供達に絶対に教えないで下さいね。

[@LIJ]

大きな調整で、時には圧倒されることもあります。 しかし、私たちは将来について非常に期待しています。

Hi everyone congratulations on your new home!!! I was a bit worried you were not going to get one. And who knows what would of happened. But your there now, and your having a great start although it's been wet. I'm now recovering after a full hip replacement only last week. So good luck in your new Palace ha 😄 😀 kind regards

This might seem like a strange question but do you ever give a special prayer/ blessing in your home after you have moved? To bless the house and your family, for safety, peace, somewhere for the lord to be with you etc. I hope that makes sense

[@LIJ]

It sure does, and we sure do.

[@TheKerokitty]

Hi Nathen (Nate? Nathaniel?) and Ruth! Our family has been following your channel a while and revisiting our time living in Japan vicariously through your family. I have a curious question about the transition from a house to an apartment. When we lived there we lived in an apartment and we often had complaints about the noise even if we were barely home that day which is one of the reasons we will be in a house when we return in spring for a stay. Do you foresee this being a big life adjustment because of the change in building or do your kids having grown up there find it easy to accommodate the quieter living? My 5 are truly loud Americans at times!!

[@ruthreutter8355]

We are a little concerned about that. Having older kids is a benefit, but even then, even their walking is heavy! 😂 We are trying to have thick rugs in the living area to help with the noise. Hopefully we don’t get too many complaints!

[@Acci-ie1tc]
