Andy’s Relationship With Karate

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01241

Andy has been taking Karate since he was 4 years old. He’s earned ranks through his years as a Little Dragon and he is at Advanced Red in Karate Kids. This past year he has expressed a desire to stop training in karate. He no longer enjoys it. He does not want to pursue a black belt in karate. He’s going to finish out June and then take July and August off. 

When September rolls around he’s going to go back and train for 3 months and then he’ll be 11 and he’ll be able to start Jr. Krav if he wants to. He has expressed to me that this is what he would like to do. He sees that Krav has more action and you are constantly doing things. I’d love to see him do this. I really want him to have something that is so beneficial to his self confidence. However, just because it has been great for me and for Eva doesn’t mean that it will be the same for Andy but we can hope that he likes it more.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
