Andy Loving Them Apples ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02432

On Labor Day we went apple picking at Tougas Family Farms. I did not think that we'd go through the apples as quickly as we have but Andy is really enjoying them for snack and more. Tonight andy had an Apple sundae. A full Honey Crisp apple and A caramel apple ice cream from Munroe Dairy. Andy really like that combination. After school Andy will cut up a full apple and have it with peanut butter or Nutella.

Tonight Allison and I went to Feehan to meet with Eva's teachers. It looks like she has a great group of teachers. They were all very nice. When we got home Eva grilled us on what we thought. Allison relayed a story about when Eva shadowed another student before attending the school. The teacher she observed was someone that really intimidated her because they were so loud and enthusiastic. Now she has that same teacher for Sociology and she really enjoys him. We encouraged her to tell him the story at the end of the year.

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...

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.

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.
