Ayako came home with Arashi.

  It is December now.  Time really flies!  Looking at the calendar, oh, I realize there is only a month left for this year.
  Ayako came bac from Sapporo in the morning with Arashi. Arashi will stay here with us tonight. In the afternoon, Takashi and Sachiyo called on Skype.  By the way, our webcam was broken, and I had bought a new one. So, the picture of us including Arashi seemed to be seen on their screen.
