Connor gets his orange belt!

orange belt
Connor tested for his orange belt today. He had been working hard on his forms and stances, but he was especially nervous today (not knowing that all of the kids who test generally pass). Even though he was "a little scared" (in his own words), he did a really great job (in my somewhat biased opinion) and I was very proud of him for trying his best.

When is 1777 coming out?

Just a quick update. Tricia finished reading 1776. To her surprise and disappointment, the book ended in December 1776. Now, she'll never know who won...

Max, a misnomer?

mini totoro
We've decided that Max is too small. He eats a lot, but seems to be getting wider only, not taller.

Perhaps totoro magic will help ...
