Stripes a plenty

I have done martial arts for years and I even told my husband when we met at karate that it was something that would always be a part of my life. Enter life, right? We both stopped going when I was pregnant with Oliver and here he is, 7 years old. So after a 8 year hiatus, we are ALL back to it at a new-to-us style/club in town. It’s a wonderful karate club and we are so happy to be there. Peter and I are ESPECIALLY happy that OLIVER is happy to be there. This is his first time to try out martial arts and he’s really enjoying it. It’s nice to have family activities. In any case after 3 classes, testing came up. So we prepped Oliver that he probably would not pass. Only having had 3 classes before the test came up. What do you know? He totally rocked the test and got a green stripe on his white belt. We had a lovely celebration afterwards and I took some pictures and everyone is happy.
