February 13, 2010The 7th Annual Hibikino Campus School Festival 2009
November 10, 2009The annual school festival is one of the events I look forward to every year. Food stalls, games, events, concerts, people, etc. The students work hard planning for this event so when it’s finally here, there’s a lot of excitement and plenty of positive vibes. Below is a short video of the festival and the faces of the beautiful people you will encounter at this time of year. Even Santa and the Power Rangers came out for the event. Good times!!
Mikan (Mandarin Orange) Picking
November 9, 2009Last Tuesday, Anne and I took the kids to a “mikan” grove. “Mikan” is the Japanese word for mandarin orange. It is also commonly called a “satsuma”. Trivia: Did you know that the towns of Satsuma, Texas, Satsuma, Alabama, Satsuma, Florida and Satsuma, Louisiana were named after this fruit? Mrs. Itoh came along with us and everybody just had a great time as you will soon see. The girls must have eaten at least 20 oranges. You can eat all the oranges you want for a measly 3 bucks! It was a beautiful day for such an outing. Okay, time for the pictures…

Kid’s Swimming Session: Kitakyushu, Japan
August 31, 2009
Our 3-year old took a crash course on swimming recently and she really had fun. She will probably continue the lessons but this post is not about her. It’s about our neighbor’s son, Fuuta. His mother, a good neighbor friend of ours, has been taking Fuuta to swimming lessons since he was less than a year old. He has made great strides in his swimming and his mom wanted me to document one of his lessons. I had a blast and as you will see, Fuuta is the most adorable little boy around. Mia is glad to be good buds with him. And now, I introduce to you swimming boy wonder….FUUUUUUUUUUTA!!!!

See how advanced Fuuta is! Everybody else is twice his age.

Future Japanese Olympian?

Fuuta knows how to have a good laugh between laps.



Fearless!

How was my timing on that last one?

Here I was experimenting with the Lensbaby Composer. Using it is harder than I thought but lots of fun! Dad just loves Fuuta. Very proud of his boy.

The textures are courtesy of Totally Rad Actions’ Dirty Pictures plug-in. If you haven’t bought it yet, I give my highest recommendation to the TRA Actions set.
