"Mommy does what she wants to do, you're more of a sidekick."
-Ashlyn
James tested for his blue belt this week and passed with no problems. He nailed his form on the first try and held his own in sparring. Because it’s October, the school let the kids come to the awards ceremony in costume so an excited Link ran up to the front to get his new belt.
There are only three soccer games left to go. James’ team hasn’t won a game all year but they keep improving and this week the other team didn’t score a single goal in the two quarters James played (it must have been all James). The last picture below has no relevance to soccer other than James is still wearing his jersey. He was tolerant enough to let Ashlyn put hair ties in his hair and we thought the picture was funny.
Grandma’s birthday is in a few days but we went ahead and got together to celebrate this weekend. We started with a nice dinner at a new restaurant and then followed it up with dessert at our house. The kids settled down to a movie while the adults played cards. Happy birthday Grandma!
