Black Belt

Saturday we found out some good news...and some bad news. First the good news...Nathan is now a BLACK BELT! We are very excited for him! And the bad news...unfortunately Tim didn't pass this time. So, he will be able to retest again after the first of the year. This was hard, b/c Nathan and Tim have passed every test together since they started TaeKwon-Do many years ago, so this is the first time only one of them progressed. Thankfully both boys are handling it well, and it's a good learning experience for us all.

Congratulations to Nathan!

Sorry...

Okay, no update for over a week. Sorry! Not much to update though. Nathan and Tim took their Black Belt test again on Saturday, but still no results to post. They aren't sure if they passed...so we will have to just wait!

Kenny is enjoying his new job; it's keeping him busy and he's learning all of the new little details that go along with a new job. His schedule is not really set yet, so the hours are inconsistent. But, he's encouraged and having fun too!

I'll post the Black Belt results when we find out about them... :o)

Starbucks and Voting

After you vote tomorrow, go to a nearby Starbucks, tell them you VOTED, and they'll give you a FREE cup of coffee!

November

Is it really November already? I guess so...Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! We are enjoying the rainy weather; rain which we really need.

Last week we went to a little Halloween "party" at Eskaton, where Kenny's Mom lives. They had a few games, and a costume parade where the residents there handed out candy.

We had a fun weekend, and I forgot to take pictures of the kids in their costumes. But we did take pictures of our pumpkins! Kenny loves carving pumpkins, so he did that with the kids. Nathan did one of an "emoticon smile" and the other one was a double sided pumpkin. One side was a butterly (for Lizzy) and the other side was a strange face. Tim roasted the seeds, which were really yummy! :)

Nothing much else is new here...don't forget to get out and VOTE tomorrow, if you haven't already.
