Translate Two-Paragraph Japanese Message

I’ve just received a Facebook message from one of my Japanese relatives—about two short paragraphs written entirely in Japanese characters—and I’d like to understand it fully. The note seems to be family-update related, but all I need is a direct, natural-sounding English translation for my own personal understanding. No extra cultural notes or commentary are required.

Deliverable:
• Accurate English rendering of the two Japanese paragraphs, returned in a simple text file or pasted directly in chat.

If that sounds straightforward to you, I can send the message as soon as we start.
