Woodland Antics

Last night the kids earned their black stripes. Reed flashed me his jack-o-lantern smile and gave me the thumbs up.     After Fiona recieved hers, Reed gave her the biggest hug ever. The two of them had all the parents melting. Needless to say, we're proud of our little ninja's.

Last month the kids started training.   "The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants." -- Master Gichin Funakoshi Check out that mean face The weekest things in the world can overmatch the stongest things in the world. Nothing in the world can be compared to water for its weak and yielding nature; yet in attacking the hard and the strong nothing proves better than it. For there is no alternative to it. The weak can overcome the strong and the yielding can overcome the hard. This all the world knows but does not practice. ~ Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
