Another Puzzle Done!

 We got another puzzle done and have started another one.

T's Recovery...

So T is dealing with a growth spurt which makes the Osgood Schlatters in his knees hurt extremely bad.  Then he is also dealing with Shin Splints which we got told today that it takes 4-6 weeks to completely heal from and if you don't allow it to heal then you make an already bad situation worse so that puts T out of being able to do the PATU President's Cup in August because he won't have enough time to train to be ready for it so we won't be wasting our time or money on going to it and let T get completely healed from the Osgood and the Splints.  It'll be good recovery time for him and his body coach is going to adapt his body training so that he doesn't make anything worse.  I have a feeling there is fixing to be a lot of core workouts coming T's way from his body coach...LOL!!  There's always something with this sport that athletes have to deal with.  This is a high intensity and high injury sport with things such as pulled muscles and shin splints and things of that nature.  It just kind of comes with doing this sport.  Every sport has their own challenges and this is TaeKwonDo sparring's challenges.  At any rate, T rests and recovers and does what his body coach tells him that he needs to do in order to completely heal up.  The really good thing about this is that he can eat and grow while healing.  That's a huge plus for T.  And even though it's painful T is really glad to have Osgood happening right now because he knows that means he will be getting taller and, of course, height matters in this sport.  

This picture was taken after his last fight and he got his medal and was making his way back to take off gear so we could leave the venue for the day.  He's looking so grown up.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

It's Been 1 Year...

It's been a year since you left this earth for your heavenly home with Jesus.  It feels like it was only yesterday though.  You will always hold such a special place in my heart.  No matter where I go or what I do in this life I will always carry a part of you, my friend, with me.  You may be gone from this world but never ever forgotten!!!

"In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us.  I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love - not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus Our Lord!"  Romans 8:37-39 (CEV)

T’s Regular Class Uniform

T received his regular class uniform tonight. He’s looking forward to doing regular TaeKwonDo classes at Core TaeKwonDo Performance Center.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Some Screenshots From T's Videos

These are screenshots that I pulled from T's videos so they will be a little blurry but they were really good shots where T got his opponent good.  The last photo though, is to show you the height difference between T and Flores.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Puzzle Is Done!

We got this puzzle done and have another one to get started on.  We have been so enjoying doing puzzles.  It's been a fun family thing to do in the evenings rather than waste our time watching things on tv.  We've hardly turned on the tv since we started doing this.  I'm thinking about actually letting some of my subscriptions go that we stream because we are hardly ever watching anything these days.  This is such a beautiful puzzle that I'm considering framing it.  We'll see though because I don't really have a place to put this one.  

T’s Fight Videos From USAT East Grand Prix

Here are T’s fight videos from this past weekend. 

In this next video you will see the height difference of T and Flores. For his height Flores should be two weight divisions higher than T but he chooses to cut as low as T’s weight division because when you are a foot taller it’s easy wins. 

T fought so good in all his fights. His coach, Master Doug, doesn’t yell at him and he stays calm all three rounds. T goes for it in the second round and still loses to Flores but we still couldn’t be more proud. #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Happy Father's Day!!!

I wanted to take a moment and wish the men in our life a Happy Father's Day from T and I.  We hope that all the Father's out there have a fantastic Father's Day today!  God Bless You All!!!

The first collage is from T to his Dad, the second is from me to Scot, and the last one is from Scot, T, and I to Popsie:

Home Sweet Home!!!

God knows things we don’t. We got a call that power to our home wouldn’t be restored until Sunday by 11pm so we left in the middle of the night to come home because we needed to get the generator on our deep freezer and fridge freezer. They were full to the brim and it would have cost a lot to replace it all had they unthawed. We were seriously 5 minutes from the house when we got the call that the power was restored. But again, God knows things we don’t and there was a reason that we weren’t supposed to be in Daytona and we were to be home. And it could be just so we could clean up the mess the straight line winds caused in our yard with limbs.  God could reveal in time another why behind our not getting to spend time at the beach. Regardless, though, we’re home safe and sound with a very happy boy. He had such a fantastic experience at this event with his new team and coach and we couldn’t be happier for him!!!  We didn’t lose any of our meat. It all stayed frozen. Thank you Lord for looking out for us as always!!!
