The Pianist

Here is Sebastian doing some improv, and then I made him play a song. He played the most basic song he knows - after about 6 or 7 lessons he knows about 8 or 9 songs. Oh well, still cute.
His teacher thinks he is a natural.
He never had any rhythm, so I think it's the mathematics involved in piano playing that helps him succeed.

The first video didn't catch what I wanted it to, since I was sneaking in from the other room.

Working in the yard

Random things...

From the past few weeks...

Sebastian's blue and gold banquet at the Bill Bates Cowboy Ranch and awards ceremony as he graduates from Tiger to Wolf cub!
































I walked in on Sebastian putting a fresh diaper on his sister's nakey butt.
He did a really good job.

Camping

Spring break.
Jes' chillin'...

Well, not entirely. We went camping to Turner Falls, OK last week for 3 nights. It was a blast. We have been before and will go back again at the end of summer.
There was an unexpected cold snap right before we left, which brought a wintry mix and a low of 30-something the night before we got there. While we were there the overnight lows were 41, 41 and 45. The days reached 60-something, 60-something and then about 80 on the final day.

We went with a group of close friends and their children and it reminded me of camping trips we had when I was a kid. It was great, I hope to do a big group friends and/or family camping trip every year!

While we were there we spotted numerous sneaky raccoons, a silver fox, a herd of deer, a skunk, lots of trout and minnows, a crayfish, a swarm of buzzards, turtles on a log, turkeys, and a partridge in a pear tree.

dude i really suck at this blog thing
