1st Week of School is in The Books

The 1st week of school has went by fast.  It's been a week of adjusting to getting back into the full swing of things.  T is working hard to get ahead in subjects so when fighting season starts up heavy, from January to July (when Nationals happens), that we won't get behind in school but stay on task and maybe even hopefully stay ahead.  At least that is our goal anyhow.  

This week T got to do several science experiments with his microscope.  He got to look at skin cells, a piece of onion, and pond water.  The pond water had stuff moving in it that totally grossed T out.  We asked him if he wanted to go swim in a pond now and his facial reaction was so funny because he gave a look like aint no way I'm swimming in pond water...LOL!

He's working on finishing his school work in a timely manner.  He's improving on that big time.  Because he's had such a good week we are going to go get an inner tube for his dirt bike so that he can ride it over the holiday weekend.  He's so excited about being able to ride again.  It's been a while since he's been able to do that.

T has a lot on his plate with school, Black Belt World Black Belt Testing Cycle for his 3rd Dan, sparring training with his coach and team,  and traveling for tournaments.  Being this busy doesn't stop him though.  He keeps pushing forward, striving to do his best in all of it.  He does quite well at getting it all done and staying on top of it all which we are very proud of him for doing.  I don't know many kids who have goals that they are going after like he is and continuing to move forward and not fall behind in anything he's doing.  I love how he's growing and maturing and becoming the young man that God desires of him to be.

Life is never boring with our boy!  So thankful that God entrusted him to us and I pray every day that how we are raising him up will be honoring in the sight of God.  I pray that he will be like David and be a man after God's own heart!  That he will walk in a manner that is worthy!  That his life will be a testimony of how awesome and great our God is!  That his life will be an example for others to follow!  Nothing he accomplishes in all he is doing will mean anything if God isn't the central focus of his life!  We are so proud of all he's doing but more than that our pride for our son will overflow as his life unfolds with God at the helm of all that he does.

Just wanted to give you a first week update.  Stay blessed!!!
