Welcome back Mother!

It is about 1 month from when I came to this home as an au pair.

Today is a special day for the family.

Boy and Sister:
Mom is coming home!!

Their mother who has been going to overseas business trip for a long time comes back home today.

They wanted to pick her up right away, but because of it was a weekday, they went to school excitedly.

Mother told me that she would come back in the afternoon.

Father was working day so we decided me to pick her up to the nearest station by driving.

In the afternoon, finally the time is coming.

When I was waiting in front of the station, a woman who had some big bags came.

Hi, Hotaru. Thank you for taking care of kids!!

This was a first time to meet directly.

The first impression was,

So beautiful and she speaks beautiful English.

In my mind, I had the image of English being spoken with a fairly strong accent and tone, and I thought that everyone (especially women) spoke in a forceful, assertive manner.

I was surprised because I didn’t feel it at all when she was talking. At the same time, I thought it was beautiful.

I picked her up to the home and her met the kids again.

Hey ,mum!!

That evening, Father came back from work, met Mother again and all family gathered for a long time.

It must have been a lively night with a lavish dinner.

Actually, I don’t know because I stayed in my room the night because I had a remote meeting.

The next day, When I went to the living room, a beautiful bouquet of flowers was there.

A few days later, Father and Mother went to Tasmania trip for three days.

The kids seemed to be used to it and no signs of being surprised, instead telling “Have fun!!”

Even after having children, the couple continues to cherish their time together as a married couple.

And their kids acknowledge this and sent them off.

The refreshed couple and their kids gathered in the home again.

Welcome back Mother!

It starts from here living with five people including the family of four and me.
