Josiah got his stripe!!! He was working really hard on his circle block kata and was really hoping that he would earn his stripe before Sensai left for NC....and he did! (for those who don't know it goes white belt, then add a stripe, yellow belt, add a stripe, green belt, add a stripe, and on through brown to black...i think that's all the colors) We are really proud of how well he did these past six months in the karate class and look forward to November when his teacher will be back. 
One of the things that we've done this past year is a Mom's Morning Out program, trying to provide a chance for stay at home mom's in the community to get a couple hours without their preschool-aged kid. These four were the consistent kids that came most 1st and 3rd friday mornings and our last one was today. AJ had a blast spending time with her friends and getting out of the house. It was a bit of a break for me, although, having the twins around still kept me busy. :)We've been trying to make several decisions lately...one of them is to homeschool or not (i'm leaning against it, but am still considering it) another is whether we continue on with one vehicle or try to get a 2nd vehicle. I'm actually a bit surprised that we've lasted as long as we have on just the van....it is definitely starting to get a little harder trying to figure out when I'm going to have the car and when I'm stuck at home....now, there aren't a lot of places to go in town...but just the fact that I couldn't go if I wanted to gives me a little bit of cabin fever. We're also looking towards the future and what the next step might be. Please pray with us as we try to figure out what is best for our family...and what the Lord might be calling us to.
Btw-I love it when you guys comment on my blog. Tom thinks I'm ridiculous to check for comments as many times a day as I do...it really is an encouragement to me that there are people who love our family and want to hear what's going on with us! So....if you have a minute, feel free just to say hi! :)

Brian teases me about how much I love comments and often accuses me of trolling for them. Ha ha! So, here's a comment to make your day and let you know I read your blog faithfully and pray for you and your family. Thank you for al the encouragement you've been to us. Your kids are getting so big and adorable. Congrats to Josiah on the stripe. :) Miss ya'll.

Well, I don't have a blog so instead of looking for comments I check for new posts! It is so fun to see the kids growing up throughout the pictures!
Sweet, sweet Karen! I'll never check your blog again without commenting! Tell Josie I said great job achieving his karate goal. I enjoyed watching him practice while I was there. And what belt do you have, Mrs. Karen??
Call if you can; Joel's in MS this weekend. . .
Love,
s for the hatha's
So did you test for a belt in Karate too?
I love your blog because I have to get my Mirabella fix! Plus, those are some cute kids!
