Short Trip Home and Other Stuff

This past week, Matt had to make a trip home to meet someone. While there he took a few photos from our favorite lookout on Pine Mountain. All other pictures are various pictures of Clay and his field trip, Green Belt, and while spending time as a family.

A new tradition has begun with Clay and that is every time he tests for a new belt and gets it he
wants to celebrate at Shogun's. We will be celebrating his Green Belt there around the end of the month. My child that at age three was scared to death of Shoguns, now loves eating there and wants to go there to celebrate each belt. He is growing up so fast!!!

One day, I really do hope we can add a little girl to our family!!

Testing for Green

On October 8, 2015, Clay tested for his green belt in Tae Kwon Do. He had a very adventuresome day. At 745am he went to school. He went to the Museum of the Appalachia with his class. He wanted to go alone, without us tagging along. They had bus issues on the way to the Museum and on the way back. Thus they were an hour late getting back to the school, finally, at 5pm. Testing was at 530pm. We made it!!!! I am posting the video of his testing and then of the award ceremony and pictures will follow. I will then post a brief sentence on the results.

Tae Kwon Do Awards Ceremony

Clay received was rewarded Level 2 Green Belt (Belt and Certificate), 2 Stars for academic excellence (which is determined by his teacher how many stars), and Award for attending 32 classes. We did not know that there was to be award for class attendance so the pictures are a little blurry. Hope y'all enjoy watching this as we did seeing our little one perform at something that he loves to do. We are VERY proud of our little boy!!!!
