This picture brought TEARS to my eyes . . .

If you've been in touch lately, then you know that R.J. happens to be one of the "hand-fuls" in his Pre-K 3 classroom. This is no surprise here. He is a boy and he is a three-year-old. He is also used to getting things when he wants them. Thankfully he has great teachers in the room that see the goodness in him.

I must say, the photographers managed to capture it here. Oh my goodness . . . what an absolutely PERFECT little student R.J. appears to be here!! I love it!! I couldn't help but share.

If you have a chance, pan down the screen to September 10th (his first day of school). He looks like such a big boy now!!

High Yellow Belt for Colleen -- Hip hip hurrahh!!

Colleen really has been getting to karate classes consistently. It really does show. She makes sure that she attends one Core Clase, one Submission Grappling Class and now she's been taking Kickboxing classes too. She has now been promoted to HIGH YELLOW BELT!! We are all very proud of Colleen. If you see her, be sure to tell her what a great job she's doing!! She'd LOVE the positive feedback.

Thankfully, they give us a heads-up when there is a promotion. Which basically means that I need to show up with camera in hand to capture the event. Here are a couple of pictures I was able to take.

For my Little Ferry Friends checking this out . . . look at the SECOND picture here. Find the guy pointing to the other guy in the doorway . . . care to take a guess? . . . . . George Peakler!!! An incredibly pleasant surprise!! Loved it!! A truly small world that we live in here!!!
