wow!
Following is a picture from Jared and Jeff's first testing and promotion almost two years ago (this summer). Looking at our new pictures I noticed just how tall these boys are getting. I decided to look up these pictures. Jared is starting to look so grown-up.
senior red belts! WooHoo!
The lessons are learned. The practice is over. The uniforms are washed to sparkling white, starched, and ready for testing!
It's time! Those are two boys are very excited to show their stuff!
Jeffrey was just so excited to get that belt in his hands! He kept staring at it. He is too cute sometimes.
It's on and he is one proud little boy, as he deserves to be. 
Jared was commended for his perserverence and great attitude.
He gets his belt tied on by his instructor.
And our picture of the day! I'm so proud of my boys! Two more months... Black belts, here we come!

settling in
Today we are wrapping up week 2 of school and things seem to be settling into a normal pattern. We have things scheduled 3 of the 5 nights so homework is done as soon as they get home. There is just no time for it after 6pm. So, basically, Jared has only 2 hours of down time most days that includes any homework he may have. Not much. It feels great to be back on a regular schedule. We've had to make some adjustments. Our most difficult challenge seems to be getting Jeff on the bus every morning. I think he's made it twice in the past 9 days.
TaeKwonDo Testing. It's that time again! Testing and promotion. After next week they will be yet one step closer to those coveted black belts. National Championships a couple of times a year - yikes!
Now things here haven't been overly exciting but, boy, has it been a week for my friend Terri over at In His Hands! After 6 long years of struggles and disappointments, she finally received a picture and name of the little girl she is adopting from China. It's been an awesome week full of joy, excitment, and praises. I'll be thrilled when they get to bring her home in a few weeks. Jump on over there if you get the chance...It will bring a smile to your face and tears of joy to your eyes.
