This past Friday was sort of a big deal at our house … our oldest kiddo, Daniel, completed his first belt test in Tae Kwon Do to earn his yellow belt. All of the kids are in Tae Kwon Do, but, this was our very first test and I have to say – it was pretty exciting to watch him! Watching Danny’s growth – not just in his martial art skills but as a person – since we enrolled them over the summer has been amazing to witness. We’re so proud of all the kids, and excited to see them continue to grow in strength, balance, and character.

Here are just a few of our favorites from last week’s test AND the class afterward (notably missing is Noah, who is still walking around in a shoulder to wrist cast for his broken elbow). Sierra and Katelyn should be testing for yellow belt soon, which we’re all looking forward to! Enjoy!
