Another Successful Belt Test

Alex had another promotion test a couple of weeks ago.  He was so nervous because he was going to have to break the board by punching through it with his fist.  In the end, he did a fantastic job on the entire test, and even broke the board on his first attempt.  I think he was the happiest he's ever been after a belt test.  Great job, Alex!!!

I love the serious expression on his face... or is it pain? ;)

Congratulations, Alex!  On your way to Black Belt!!!

Peter Pan 2012

This year Amy's ballet studio put on a musical production of Peter Pan.  I was so impressed by the talent of all the performers, especially those in the main roles.  The whole show was such a joy to watch, and if you include the rehearsals, I got to watch it FOUR times!  Amy performed in both the Saturday and Sunday performances because of her musical theater class.  I was worried how she would do with two dress rehearsals and two performances all in one weekend.  What is so amazing is that she ended up sick on Friday night with fever and stomach issues that lasted through the weekend, and yet she still made it through her performances.  She didn't want to miss any of it!  I'm so proud of my little girl!!!
