The children had their ketsuka class tonight. Kyle has refused to spar since he earned his white belt and could spar. He has decided to do jujitsu instead of sparring. I am happy he decided not to quit doing the martial arts - I could see what they were giving him.

Today was Abby's day off from babysitting and it was warm and sunny. After many days of rain, we're all a little sun and warmth starved, so they had a day free of seatwork. They frolicked outside, took the dog for a walk, practiced their katas outside and generally just enjoyed being alive.
