Tonight was Andy’s first band concert. This year Andy decided that they would like to learn to play the trombone. We bought Andy one and they’ve been enjoying it. Band is one of their favorite classes and I am happy that there is a band class for Andy. There seems to be a lot of things that Andy has access to at this new school that Andy never had before.

With this being the first band concert there was also a learning curve for us, namely to get there very early to get a seat. I took Andy to rock climbing and then directly from rock climbing to the concert. When we arrived it was already packed. This was my view of the concert.

We all stood in the hallway and could only get into the room after 5,6,7 & 8th grade bands were done and it was just the chorus doing their show. Mom came up to see Andy’s concert but like us, she did not actually get to see Andy play. I’d been looking forward to this and will know for next time. There were way more people here than at the talent show last week.

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.
