What a spectacular weekend!

First up this weekend was our Tae Kwon Do testing. Patrick came in with lots of confidence, excited about moving up to his next belt. His confidence showed as he did his form. He was spot on and even did well in the sparring, getting in a nice combination. No pictures yet of Owen and even me doing our tests, but I'll add them to the site when I get a chance to pilfer them from my dad. A couple of videos out on Picasa, so be sure to click the pictures and links to see it all!


Owen had his own burst of confidence on Sunday, as he decided he was ready to try riding his bike without his training wheels. He gave it a go on his old elmo bike, and almost had it but decided it was too small. Off came the training wheels from his big bike and he was ready to go.


It didn't take Owen long at all to be cruising. The look on his face said it all: He was very proud of himself!


Not every ride was perfect, but I was in the right place when it counted. By the end of the night though, he had it down cold and was zooming around the circle with his neighborhood buds!


Kate had her own great day. Hard to believe, but even Kate is getting into the school swing. She starts pre-school and today was meet the teacher day. She was very excited to meet her teachers, especially so she could show off her puppy dog jeans and shirt outfit! :-) She hit it off right away with her teachers.


Kate and her teachers all seem excited about the coming year. It continues to amaze me how quickly all three of the kids grow up, but I sure am enjoying the ride!
