Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Barbara, Congratulations! You must be still beaming. I know that when my kids achieve something wonderful, I smile for hours. The little things (like the Yankees losing) just pales by comparison. (grin). I know that when Ian tested for his red belt I was amazed as to where he could put his feet and how quickly. And watching these little guys break boards is, well ... amazing. Ian dropped out of karate for a couple years and has just recently started up again. He obviously lost ground as far as the belting stuff goes, but it's still amazing to watch the feet fly around! Give the boys extra congrats and hugs from us!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 That is really great Barbara. Isnt it wonderful to see our children succeed?Congratulations to them both! I know what you mean about the baseball. I am a huge Boston fan, and while here on the west coast I wasnt up until the wee hrs, my heart and blood pressure took a lot of hits the last couple of days! I just wish I was going to be back there for the world series itself..I arrive back home in MA Nov.1 to attend my grandparents 60th wedding anniv so I'll just miss the series. Would have been great to watch the series with my grandpa, who is also a huge Boston fan. J WA state mom to ,10.5, severe/profound bilateral SNHL, SEE/oral, SID,asthma ,8.5 ph,5.5 > Just a small one!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 That is SO cool. We are thinking of getting our oldest into that soon. Maybe when he is 4. My husband is a black belt, and just loves kicking with him! Tawnya Re: A small brag... > >That is really great Barbara.
