Naga-waze

In January, Will and Harry began Judo.  We really limit our children to the amount of activities they can participate in at one time because we think that they need down time.  We also think it is incredibly important to have family time and dinner every night.  So, our boys have to really think about their choices and weigh their options. Well, from day one, they fell in love with Judo.  And they are quite good at it.  They have never once complained about going and they ask to go to extra sessions on Saturdays.  Today, they tested for their first promotion.  I cannot tell you how proud I am of them.  They worked so hard and they performed beautifully.  I actually was teary eyed watching them.

I know this one is totally out of focus but look how happy he is!

Harry was simply radiating JOY when he finished!

Will did an amazing job!

Kate played and cheered her brothers on.  She LOVES going to Judo!

I am afraid she is going to choose it over the ballet I want to choose for her!

I am so proud of you Will and Harry.

The title of this post is a little family joke.  Naga-waze is the Japanese term for the Judo throws.  Whenever Dave and I are having a friendly bicker, we say...watch out or I'll naga-waze you:) It immediately makes us both laugh.

Unfortunately, our friends who were supposed to be visiting this weekend had their flights cancelled due to mechanical problems.  We are so sad that they will miss our special Mother's Day activities.  But hopefully, we will still get to see them late tomorrow evening.  

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
