Lego fun

Here’s Sebastian showing his newest Lego creation:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Short and sweet: photos are up!

Spoiling y’all

Two updates in a short span of time?! Crazy! It’s another short post, just to let you know that there are some new photos up from Sebastian’s field trip, Christmas program and general family fun times. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

A short post but one a few of you will (I think) appreciate. First we have Sebastian getting into the holiday spirit:

Next we have one from way back in November (at the old apartment) when Sebastian made his very own spaceship.

Enjoy!

‘nother video

Here’s a short video AM captured yesterday. Enjoy.

School!

Just a quick post to say that the photos from Sebastian’s first day of first grade are up, along with some others from the past week or so.

We made it just in time for announcements after a scramble to get all the supplies packed and ready, so sorry there aren’t more. You’ll also see a few shots from last Friday when Sebastian joined me for a fun-filled day at work. He was a great companion and we even put him to work in the warehouse. I don’t know that he’ll want to follow in my footsteps but let’s be realistic – neither would I.

Insight…

Sebastian was explaining how he created a Lego Transformer to Anna-Marie the other day:

Children are tiny and we have a lot of ideas. Children have much better ideas than adults you know. When you’re an adult, you don’t have so many ideas.

He may be right.

Then & Now

What a change 4 and 1/2 years makes…

Happy Birthday, America!

Sebastian says: “The fireworks were cool!”

I would have to agree. The show at the LA Coliseum is an hour long and has an amazing finale. AM & I were talking and neither of us can remember anything so grand from our childhood experiences. They started abruptly with a small, short barrage of the loud variety and I thought Sebastian was going to demand to leave immediately. But he stuck it out and by the end he was having a great time. Below is the grand finale of the event — not the best quality of video but you get the picture:

And there are some new pictures up, too.

A night out…

Last night they had a free event at the Japanese American Cultural Community Center (JACCC) in Little Tokyo and they showed the pilot episodes for Astro Boy (1963) and Gigantor (1964). The also showed the original Japanese version of Voltron, but decided to have a DJ create a live soundtrack, so it was a little disappointing. Still, we had a great time and enjoyed some veggie hot dogs from a cart, some ice cream from a truck, and some good anime from Japan. Woo hoo!
