Photo Hunt #19 - Soft

Theme: Soft Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll

My daughter updated her podcast. She's doing weird news. You can listen to it by playing the selections on the podcast player on the right side. Choose the 2nd on down. The first one is her favorite Pokemon, which I am quite clueless. I like the news of the weird. Or is it weird news?

My baby is eleven months old. He loves to grab grown up food and eat it. He loves to dance. You can tell he's dancing as his butt shakes up and down to the beat. I am very sure his "Higa" is hello, and "Hag" is hi.

Oh, I'll be 34 in two days. Thing about birthdays after 30 is I try to keep a low profile because it's kind of embarrassing to be this old and still having birthday party. I like to have party for my kids, but I'd rather be having a quiet time doing things I love on my birthday.

Congrats to my Sweet Girl, she's on A Honor Roll! DS1 also has A average. They're both doing so well in school, we are proud of their efforts. Hurray for my darlings! Or should that be DH and I?

This is my DS1. The clay figure he's holding up? It was wonderful! Except it was soft, and DS3 amputated it.

Father and First Son

I saw this picture while cleaning up my files. Don't they look great together? My first son is 8 years old now. He's only 3 and a half here.

Happy Birthday, DS1!

Happy 8th birthday sweetheart! Mommy and Abba are very proud of you.

When DS1 was new, he's the one on the left. I remember laboring and pushing for 3 hours! This baby did not want to come out. I felt him swim the wrong way.

He'd be engage in the birth canal, and in between contraction, off to my ribcage he goes. After Demerol, epidural, and spinal, he still wasn't ready to go out. He loves his apartment, thank-you-very-much! Off we went to a different room where they showed me a forcep to help him out the rest of the way. He's 7 pounds, 11.7 oz.

We love DS1 very much. He's smart- honor roll student, funny, and very talented with his piano. He's sensitive, and creative. He's everything a mother can dream of in a child. Throughout the years, he's always made us proud of him.

My Photo Hunt Vol. 12 - New

These are my older 2 sons. The photo's are 7 and 5 years old, but they were brand new when this was taken.

DS1- Art in Colored Pens

DS1 art in color pens

Two days ago, DS1 decided to take down all the drawings on my wall done in crayons. He wanted to replace them with arts done in colored pens. Here's the first one.

I love it when my kids spend their time drawing. The sight never fails to cheer me up.

DS1 is into Dave Pilkey's Captain Underpants. He'd started illustrating a comic books in similar story line and some are really good. These he does on top of his chores, choir practice, piano, home works and all other stuff. When I find his latest work, I'm going to take picture of it and post it for posterity.

Right now, he's also working on his Sonatina on C which he's going to play in a contest next fall. His teacher believes he can go home with the highest prize. DD is going to play the second movement of the piece too. I have to start seriously practicing myself. Not for any contest, but just for leisure, and for playing duet with my babies. That and to know that they are practicing what they're supposed to.

DH also told me that he loves hearing me play the piano. I am trying to play Mozart's Turkish March. It's a playful piece, deceptively easy with it's C major key signature, then it changes to D major, and the counting is quite fast. I love it's lively tune. My fingers are lamentably out of practice, you can practically hear it creak as it goes over the ivory keys to warm them up, hoping to get them nimble enough to produce a sound resembling that of Mozart's composition.
