Karate Kid

On Tuesday we signed Dylan up for karate at Sunridge Karate. Sunridge Karate is a Christian based martial arts program. In order to progress through the belts you must not only learn the martial arts, but also memorize Bible verses.

He received his white belt tonight. In order to receive it, he had to do an act of courtesy. So today at the pool, he helped a family collect their toys so they could leave and when asked to do the same for us, he said "yes, mam" and gathered cheerfully. So he is now officially a white belt. He has also memorized his first verse -

Matthew 7:12 "So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you."

P.S. We eat lots of popsicles around here...

Nissy and I both said the same thing at once - "Karate?". I guess you are willing to do anything for him to pickup toys cheerfully, right?! Thanks for the more frequent updates. We are off to Alaska Saturday morning to see Buddo arrive. We will give him a hug for you and the boys. - Blake

P.S. Wax on, wax off...wax on, wax off...
