Pre-surgery fun

Feb 3-4 2015

In the days leading up to Dani’s metal removal surgery we tried to see people and have fun. We started with Taco and TCBY Tuesday with Grammie.

After co-op and Bible Study we had lunch with the Jones family who were visiting Fort Worth.

Then the girls spent a lot of time outdoors because the weather was nice and Dani wasn’t going to have a chance to be out there for a while.

We love having a membership to the zoo! It was a beautiful day so we headed over there. Nadia took some seashells and the research she did to make a trade at the Texas Nature Traders and then we wandered around enjoying the cool weather.

Thankful Thursday

  • That we are 3 weeks past surgery and Dani is doing great. And she got to have a REAL bath this morning.
  • That we had our last social worker visit yesterday. Our social worker is wonderful and I am glad we had her, but I am also glad we can just do our own updates in the future.
  • For the little bit of ice and snow we had this week. The girls loved it and even made a tiny snowman.

Gold Belt Orange Tip Test 1.24.2015

Last year Nadia started at another dojo that closed after she had only been there for 2.5 months. She had learned their white belt form and some of their gold belt form. When we moved over to Excel Taekwondo at the end of October, Master Valdez let her stay a gold belt and she just knew she had to learn the new white and gold belt form. She loves it so she worked really, really hard. When it came time to test in January she was on the list to test for the tip on her gold belt. She easily passed and was so proud. Master Valdez told her that in 2 months she could go for her Orange Belt because that is the standard practice for testing.
