A Caricature of a Friend part 1

I drew this picture last year 2010 for a friends birthday. They were moving to another country so I was in a bit of a hurry to finish it. I think I could have done a better job proportioning her body, but I still liked how it all looked in the end.

I hope you see this sometime Marie. We miss you a lot!

My loves

I have never yet introduced the most important people in my life.

This post will be dedicated to my loves. They are the ones who add so much joy, love and meaning to my life.

The Wife!

Joan Marie

She holds my heart . She is my inspiration, encouragement, best friend, team mate. To sum it up she is my other half. I can’t think straight without her.

She has worked as an English teacher in Japan and together we are currently working on a fun children’s English lessons geared for preschoolers and young Japanese children.

She is great at making friends wherever she goes and is a bright cheery ball of sunshine. She makes sure that family comes first in our life, and work etc, come next.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend the rest of my life with. Love you!

The First Born!

Kayden Takumi

If I had to sum my first son in one word it would be “passion”.

Whatever he is doing, whether it’s eating, running, watching a video or whatever, he does it with all his might. If he cries it’s all like ARGH! (uncontrolled sobbing ensues) When he laughs its like WHAHAHAHAHAhaha….(then he fall on the floor barely breathing)

He has a great sense of humor and works real hard to make jokes to make people laugh. He has tons of energy!

He has a big heart. He loves with all his strength too. He is getting so big and is learning so much. Pixar’s Cars and Thomas the Tank Engine are his biggest passions at the moment. He also loves to sing and can hold a tune quite well. And boy does he love to dance. Can’t wait to see what your future holds for you big guy. Love you!

The Baby!

Sean Tsuyoshi

He is too cute to be true. If I thought kayden grew up too fast, this kid seems to be learning things by the minute. He is turning one years old soon and he is already trying to stand and walk.

His smile is beautiful and he is very generous with it. He’s always looking to get your attention.

It seems that unlike Kayden, who does things because he’s emotional about them, Sean uses logic and thinks more about what he does. There seems to be a plan and strategy to his moods and emotions. He knows how to pull the strings, when to smile and laugh, when to get angry and demand. ha.
But sean is quite a quiet baby most of the time and he will be content just to quietly sit and watch everything everyone is doing for long periods of time.

The current thing he is really into is walking. I hold his hand and help him walk all around the house if you put him down to early for his liking he will let you have it. Also stairs…yikes. He loves climbing stairs.

My little baby I love you!

So there you have it, my loves. This is my little family.
