Top Ten!

After this weekend, I am going to make my second top ten in the last three years. I went to the Little Rock tournament with some of my students. I picked up a second place in weapons to give me a enough points to move up a few places on the list. Now it's a wait and see game to find out where on the list I end up. I'm really hoping to end at least #7 on the list so that I can get out of the first three. I'll keep updating when the point standings are listed on ATA's web site.

Nathan meet Ouch




After 18 months of curiosity, Nathan finally introduced himself to Hugo the hedgehog. At first, his name was "Hedgie." Then Nate tried to touch the very unhappy hedgie. Now and forevermore, the Hedgie's name is now "Ouch."

Texas Impact 6

For the first time since we were newly married, Melissa and I competed in the same ATA taekwondo tournament. She had been taking time off after having Nathan and earning her new rank. We had a great time in Dallas, although having to wait 35 minutes to get our car out in the morning sure wasn't the best. Maybe we're just too small town minded...

Anyway. I got first in weapons and third in the other two events. This means that with the points I've gotten already this year, that I should be solidly in the Top Ten and will compete in the World Championships in June. This will be my second time going, so hopefully, I'll do better than last time.

But before I competed, Melissa got to join her new 30-39 4th and 5th degree black belt ring. She was so nervous after having been out so long, but she did a great job. She ended up getting second in weapons and second in sparring. She even only missed placing in forms by one point. Not bad for not competing in two years!

So now, I will be taking some students to Little Rock next weekend for the final tournament of the season. Then it's down to watching the ATA website and seeing where the final point totals end up.

Nathan's Wiggly Obsession


So Nathan has started to get really good at expressing his opinions. His biggest thing right now is the Wiggles, or as he calls them "Doo-dles." In Dallas, there is a Wiggly Play Center. While we were there in January, we picked up this stuffed Murray guitar. Check out what happened at bedtime...

Nathan at Easter

Nathan woke up to the basket that the Bunny left him, complete with a blue bunny, sidewalk chalk to lu-lor (color) with, and eggs with his first candy in it. After Meli played at her church, we went to her parents for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. There are also pics of a community egg hunt earlier.

Nathan Bows

Nathan was bowing at the end of every class tonight. So we decided to try and get him on camera when we got home.

Spiky Baby





So, Meli started getting bored while I was teaching and she was home alone with Nathan. So she gave him a bath and then started to spike up his hair. It didn't stay in all night long, but it was so cute while it lasted.
