Takeshi found part of an old Halloween costume…after he was crafting.

Kenji strikes again!

Ahhhh… Autumn.

Takeshi has requested that our next house have LOTS of trees because he wants LOTS of leaves to play in.

Takeshi’s new favorite music is (surprise, surprise) trance and dance so Jay’s taken the liberty of buying some of his favorite songs so he can use them when he deejays. Takeshi can’t stay away and loves that crossfader!

Takeshi in one of his picturesque poses. Bachan says it’s “F’ing gorgeous” which confirms my suspicions as to which side of the gene pool this talent comes from.

This picture captures my shopping experience with Takeshi, The Boy Who Does Not Know The Meaning Of The Word “Stop!”

Poor Esco can’t get a nap without being harassed.

Takeshi drew a picture of a big fish that ate a bunch of little fish: happy fish. And it was for me, which is why he wrote my name (no instructions needed) on the back.

Today was Day 2 (of eight) of Takeshi’s swimming lessons. Not surprising, he’s doing well — he keeps up with the instructor and even (in typical Takeshi style) challenges the teacher by refusing to get out of the water. Today they practiced jumping into the water — Takeshi took it upon himself to jump as high and as far as he could, doing mini-cannonballs. It’s too bad the No Fear company isn’t around anymore; he could be their posterchild.
