My Baby's A Black Belt!!

Could I be any prouder??? My baby (OK - so he's 14) got his black belt in Tae Kwon Do today!! We all got up early to be sure to get their in plenty of time to get great seats. He did fabulous on his forms and sparring - then came the board breaks. I was sweating bullets - he went up there with all the confidence in the world. He powered through his first board like no body's business and then he clobbered the second board with just as much ease. I - in true mother form - started to cry. Every time I looked at him I had more tears of joy running down my check. He got his belt and then proceeded to wear it around the rest of the day. I kept joking that he is now my personal body guard - watch out!!
As for happenings at the shop - our teddy bear drive is coming along quite nicely!! We have collected over 70 bears so far for the Highline Medical Center in memory of Laura. We have lots of new yarns - be sure to stop by and check them out. Come in before Feb 28th and bring a bear - we will give you a coupon for 10% of a future shop.
Off to the Puck and Purl event at the Seattle Thunderbirds game tomorrow - I will let you know how it goes after I get done watching the NASCAR race - Go JR, Tony and Kasey!!
