This week we started back doing a lot of things we'd had a break from for far too long.
Jared and Titus started back archery (after taking three months off for baseball) and it's outdoor season (which we haven't been able to do since 2019). However, they started back doing indoor, partially to get back in the groove and partially because Titus needs his blue pin before he can do outdoor plus Jared needed to buy new outdoor arrows. Wednesday was pin night and Titus earned his White JOAD pin (only two left). Next pin will be harder but I know he can do it because he accidentally earned this pin using a 40cm target instead of the bigger 60cm target ;-).
We stopped Taekwondo 19 months ago. Titus missed it terribly, it was so awesome to see Titus back in his dobok this week (Though he did need a new one as he had outgrown his old one by about 6 inches). The instructors were just as glad to see him; as he was to be there, its always great to be somewhere where you're truly wanted. When they did their breaking Master Ko waited to call on Titus till the very end. He apparently wanted him to do his breaking alone (other kids were called in groups). It warmed a mother's heart to see Master Ko's confidence in Titus has not wavered, and it was incredible to see how well Titus did considering the long break. (See the Video Below)
Amber had an eventful ride on Friday, Scout decided to have Amber do a "horse planned dismount". Rather than being scared, she thought it was a thrill and got right back on. Kendall treated it the same and only instructed her on what to do different to avoid a repeat. The horses were all really in a mood, another girl was thrown twice and more violently, not sure what was in the air but thankful all were fine in the end.
Friday night, was season end pizza party for Titus' Dillard Drive Dragons. Titus played Wake County Club Ball this Spring, it's more competitive than Rec Ball but the biggest appeal for Titus was possibility of being with same kids for the next three years. Thankfully, its a really great group of kids and coaches. Jared was the official GameChanger guy and Lance helped coach whenever he wasn't playing. The team was never skunked because in every single game Titus not only hit but scored (frequently he was the only run). Beware of the little man! He did some awesome saves in the field as well, one time I swear he had springs in his shoes, he jumped so high to catch a ball at short-stop.
This morning, boys went to "Cars and Coffee", it was Lambo Day, and Jared fell in love....which inspired Titus and Chris to do some more work on Big Red, task today was fixing the electric seats. Isn't he pretty...
This afternoon we acquired a third dog. Did I scare you? It was an emergency thing we have a friend's dog for a few days. But I thought the Medium, Large, Small photo was pretty funny.
Tonight we were entertained by Jared's beautiful performance at his piano recital, he hadn't had a formal recital since June 2019. Miss Kathy had him as the last performer of the night and he simply blew them away with his beautiful music. He said it was great how the professional piano just sprang back with every touch (See Video Below).
Nice to be busy again.
