Our family reunion was lovely. Beautiful weather, gorgeous park, nice and relaxing. It was warm enough for the kids to wade in the stream. We drove over just for the day. It's a lot of driving in one day.

We are now Orange Belts in Tang Soo Do. Our belt promotion was Tuesday night at 6:30. Bob took the 3 younger kids and I took David to his 5pm soccer game. We rushed back and arrived at 7:30 just as our class was getting ready to promote. Excellent timing! We are now working hard on the orange belt forms and basic actions.

David LOVED the Robotics competition at Kettering. He is looking forward to being part of the robotics team. 

Here is the upcoming week's schedule:
9/26 Sunday - Church, relaxing
Monday - Work 5, Lessons, Karate, Soccer GAME (D away),
Tuesday - Work 5, Lessons  Practice (J) Soccer GAME (S),
Wednesday - Work 5, Lessons, Church
Thursday - WORK 5, Lessons, Writing class, Karate
Friday - WORK 5?, Soccer Practice (D,S), Robotics Welcome Event

I love watching soccer games still, although we've had a couple of cold rainy game days that sort of try my patience. I am sure in a couple weeks, I'll be tired of it all. LOL

Today is the fall festival here in our little village. Since we live right in town, that means lots of extra traffic down our street because they close the main road through town. It also means loud music from the stage 2 blocks away and a parade going past our house. :-)

Weekly Review and Preview

Finally I'm feeling back to normal health - that took a long time to recover! I got a cold toward the beginning of last week, but it was gone by Friday. Still haven't done any running. Karate on Thursday the 8th was the first real physical activity I'd done since the karate testing on the 28th.

This week will mark the beginning of lessons for us this year. I had intended to begin on the 6th but my poor health decided that for me. So we jump in Monday at a full schedule!

Sunday - Church, relaxing
Monday - Work 5, Lessons, Karate
Tuesday - Work 5, Lessons Soccer GAME (D), Practice (J,S)
Wednesday - Work 5, Lessons, Church
Thursday - WORK 5, Lessons, Writing class, Karate, Soccer Game (J,S)
Friday - WORK 5, Soccer Game (D), Soccer Pix (S,J)
Saturday - Soccer Game (J), Robotics @ Kettering (D), Book Club
Sunday - Mellon Family Picnic in GR

This week our karate class moves back to its earlier time in the afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays. We've been at 3pm all summer. On Thursdays, I will be teaching a writing class right before the karate class, taking advantage of being in town (one trip saves gas and time), and earning some extra money for Christmas and toward a new work laptop since I will be giving this one back to the soccer league in the spring.

5 soccer games this week but only 2 practices.

David is going to be on a First Robotics League team at a local high school. He will be going to a Robotics competition showcase on Saturday all day, with the team, as a spectator. In October, the team will start working weekly and after the new year, they'll meet almost daily preparing for the competitions. I've been wanting him to participate in this league for a long time and the opportunity presented itself. He'll be one of the oldest on the team since many of them graduated last year.

I have book club on Saturday and on Sunday, we'll be driving over to GR to have a family reunion picnic.
