Dinner Party at Doma and Khem's new house

We had a great dinner with Doma and Khem. Doma has known Ryden since he was 13 months old.
Khem used to own a restaurant in Kathmandu and is a childhood friend of Doma's. Now they are married!

Mosaic Class

Ryden and I took a mosaic class down the street. I still haven't gotten the hang of it and have nothing to show yet, but Ryden on the other hand, just went at it and was so confident. I couldn't believe it when I saw the final piece. It came out beautifully. The red grout he chose was a perfect contrast to many of the tiles he had chosen.

Japan Night

I didn't get many photo ops at this event, but Ryden had a lot of fun. There were many activities there that you would normally see at a Japanese outdoor festival. We also bought some Hiragana flash cards from the Kinokuniya store vendor.

Movie Making

Ryden got a movie making kit for christmas and we tried out some of the tips in the kit. My camera doesn't have enough memory on its card to film so I have to get a bigger card.

Neighborhood swing

We discovered this cool swing on our walk home from school.

Art Projects

Ryden has been helping me with creating an art curriculum for his class. We have been trying out different art projects. It has been fun trying out different mediums; wax, crayons, water colors, oil pastels, chalk, color pencils, colored paper, color pastel sticks.

Here is one project that explores geometric shapes and shades of green. Ryden mixed different shades of blue and yellow to come up with different shades of green. Then we used a hole punch to place dots of snow on the landscape.
