karate promotion

This is old news from a few weeks ago. I haven't posted all the promotions, but I wanted to get Damsel on here since she just passed her first one. Although we might like to do 5 other activities and although this doesn't mean that we will only do this 'forever', I love this karate thing. We have a great teacher that focuses on 'self discipline' and 'self control' and the more kids from your family, the cheaper it is (price is a big factor here right now) and we can be together more rather than 5o different directions. LOVE IT!!! Secret Agent earned his yellow belt and Damsel earned her red belt. So cute.

recital and promotion

We have really been busy lately with so many different appointments and events, so I hope I am able to show them all but here is a glimpse into some achievements for a couple of the kiddos this weekend. We decided too this fall, that it was time, after much waiting, to invest some time and money into some interests that the littles have. It was especially important after all we've been through this last year and a half.

Secret Agent has been asking and waiting to start karate for forever and we finally got him started and he is loving it!! This teacher really focuses on self-control and discipline which is right up our alley.

He's a red belt, it's official!! Here he is with his teacher.

Just turn sideways here...I can't turn this video..sorry.

Damsel had a lovely first recital for family and the elderly and this extended care home. I just could not get a good head shot, however I did get a nice video! It sounds so sweet. It's the next best thing to being there. I hope you enjoy.
