We got to celebrate Quinn’s entry into karate yellow belt world over pancakes last night. She worked extremely hard and we’re so proud of her. Especially when you consider that she moves about 2-3 seconds behind everyone else for just about every move that makes up karate. Julian practiced with her every day and she prevailed. I should also insert here that Sensi is about as patient a man as you have ever seen and he looks at Quinn like he appreciates her effort and tenacity. Because you have to appreciate the girl with vision problems when you see her run in a group line where they tag the edge of the mat and run back and forth…now remember when I said she is a tad behind everyone else? Picture our Miss Quinn having about 15 kids running towards her. I swear sometimes she just shuts her eyes. Yeah.
I have a picture of Gage behind her just smiling a proud big brother smile and it’s just about The. Cutest. Thing. Ever.
That’s my girl. A yellow belt. We’re acting normal…once again.


It’s nice to know that you are well-protected by your martial artists!! Congrats to Quinn!
Quinn! I am so, so proud of you! A yellow belt – yippee!
Quinnie,
We knew you could do get your yellow belt when we saw you practice with your daddy last week. You were so good at it then. On Friday you told me after your ballet lesson that ballet has karate moves that you already know. Now your mom and dad have 2 yellow belt champions in their home. Your mom’s mom.
