Almost two weeks ago, Grace tested for her Orange Belt in her martial arts class. She did amazingly well. She is so calm and focused! She was even better prepared for this test, mainly because she knew what to expect and knew to trust herself and not worry about what other kids were doing. We were very proud of her--but I think she is even more proud of herself!
Grace showing off the many stars she's earned by doing chores every month (red=300-399 chores; blue=400+ chores!):
The yellow and orange belts waiting while the white belts tested:

Grace after getting her orange belt, shaking Bhak Bonnie's hand (her only female teacher, who can kick some serious ass while still being super cute--a GREAT role model for a little girl!), the whole group after earning their belts, and the proud girl.
We ended the evening by going out for malts, fries, and Grace even got a strawberry tart. It was quite a decadent end to a great evening. Now she's moving towards earning her purple belt! (which will be a while...)

Congratulations, Grace! That take down looks like you mean business. Keep up the good work getting those stars.
Love,

Yay for Grace! I'd be scared to meet her in a dark alley :).
At what age did she start up with martial arts? I'd love to get the twins involved (if they are interested), but have no idea what age is right.
So glad things are better with your eye. I'm glad life is pretty much back to the old normal.
She is so cute...maybe next time I can go watch :-)

Grace is awesome! Congrats to her, and Anna of course for making the dance team. Your girls never cease to amaze me!
