Karate Boy!!

We have been so proud of Stephen and his committment to karate. The end of May, he tested to go into Cadets. He did an awesome job. He just tested June 19th for his orange belt. He did a great job writing a flag report for the testing. We are excited to watch him in the future.

Happy Birthday Stephen!

On June 21st, Stephen turned 8 years old. I remember the day he was born and the joy that I felt the first time they put this precious gift in my arms. I still feel the joy when I watch him. I look at the young man he is turning into being and can't help but feel proud. Stephen, I am so proud of you. On his birthday, we looked at his baby album and have spent the last few weeks looking at home videos. The time has gone so quickly. I know Stephen can't wait to get older, but I wish it would slow down. We do cherish every memory.
