Sparring medal

We've been working on getting Catherine and Thomas back into karate.  We've been slackers about it during the school year, but selfishly it was difficult when karate night was often the only evening of the week that we might have together to just hang out at home and be together as a family.  Karate is year round though, so with school and other activities winding down, we decided last week to at least get those two back into it.  I think Robert would like to go as well, but between baseball and being VERY grounded, it's not happening.  Anyway, the younger two started back last week and went again this evening.  When we picked them up, Thomas very happily announced that his sister had won a sparring medal in the competition they had held that evening.  Andrew and I always knew that karate would be a good fit for her!  We are very proud, and the part that made me even happier was how excited Thomas was for his big sister.  It touched my heart!
