Drew got his YELLOW Belt

Drew is such a good kid. Since he thinks he is 9 like Jared he picks up on thing quickly. So we thought we would ask Jared's karate teacher if Drew could take karate. He doesn't take kids until they are 7, but he said let him come and see if he could handle it. He went and has been doing it for six months.

If I haven't told you yet, we LOVE karate at our house. The teacher lives at the end of our street and teaches out of his home. So the boys get themselves to and from. He is a VERY strict teacher and expects them to do their best. To test for a belt, his tests are hard and he expects you to know it all. A lot of teachers will let you pass and give you a new belt to make you feel better, not this one. You don't earn it, you don't get it. He teaches them to eat healthy and he applies a lot of gospel to karate. He teaches you that karate is not to be used unless absolutely needed.

Anyway Drew earned his belt in 5 months, but it took us a month to test because of weddings, being out of town, etc. He is very proud, and so are we.
