Hailey's Going for Green

Very exciting news for our youngest...she's been selected to test for her Green Belt in Karate. She's very proud. I'm more than a little disappointed that I won't be able to be there in person, but I'm so excited and proud of her. She's been taking the lessons for almost a year now and she's so into it that it just makes you smile. Before I left, her dojo had a demonstration where all of the students came and did different exercises for their friends and family. Hailey, being a white belt, was one of the first to present. She did great and when she was through everyone wanted to head out to a restaurant. The only problem was that Hailey wanted to stay and watch the entire program...so the rest of the family headed to get us a table and the Hayster and I stayed and watched the Green and Black belts strut their stuff. I don't know if she'll remember that as she grows up, but I'm pretty sure that I'll always remember that special time; just she and I. She was so intent on watching every little move the older students made. I'll make the prediction now...one day there will be a black belt in the family!!

A second (at least to Skylar) exciting event in the lives of the Coryell's happened this week as well. Skylar now has her own email address. In the two days that she's had it she's sent me multiple emails. She's very sweet in her excitement when I let her know that she should check her inbox for a message.

That's it for today. Have a blessed Monday!
