Jump Ropin' and Hula Hoopin'

Recently, Luken was preparing to take his belt test for his martial arts class. Part of the test included completing a circuit of physical activites. One of those was jump roping. Since he hasn't had much opportunity to jump rope, we thought we would practice. One afternoon, we spent some time out front doing just that. Keeley decided to bring her hula hoop out, as well!















Keeley has become quite the accomplished hula-hooper, and Luken is steadily improving his jump-roping skills. :D

Letters to the Kids

In November, the school sent home paper "feathers," and asked the parents to write letters to their children, detailing what they love about them. How sweet!! They were to be attached to a turkey display at school.

Here is our letter to Luken:

We loved this opportunity to sit down and write love letters to our kids!

Soccer Trophy

At the end of the season, Luken and his teammates each received a really gorgeous trophy!





It looks great on display up in his room!

Way to go, Luken!
