The kids and I have progressed through building most of the Lego sets that we purchased last Christmas. It has taken quite a while, but we were able to make everything except the Millennium Falcon Collectors Edition. This weekend we finished the Lego Classic Mini Cooper. It was quite a bit of fun to build. The box suggests that its for experts (16+), but Ryu, who is 5, was able to make most of it by himself with very few mistakes. I’m looking forward to see what Santa brings this year!!

There was a bit of snow last night. I was hoping to get a bit more, but I would say we got an inch or two.

The cats like the bookshelf, but really have no interest at all in human food.

We have been having some excellent sunsets here lately! The snow is melting and the temperatures are getting warmer.

I was having coffee a couple of days back and one of my cats was acting a bit weird and making some strange sounds while looking out the window. I decided to check out what was out there and saw a big bobcat. I was lucky to have had my phone with my and captured some videos of the cat.

The kids had a great time this morning helping to clear snow from the driveway. I hope the snow is still there this evening so we can have a snowball battle!

Sakura and Ryu (my kids) got this for Christmas this year. So far, they are totally enjoying it. I need to get some newer Street Fighter games on it for them, but for now, they are training hard!

Ryu liked outdoor soccer quite a bit last Fall, so we decided to sign him up for indoor soccer/futsal this winter. So far, it has been quite a success. He loves the competition and he has really improved his skills. I think the futsal ball is really good for kids to work out with and it seems to help with foot skills much faster than a standard ball — especially for indoor!

Took some pics of the snowstorm on the walk to the car.
