First Project
I hope I pass.. umm that is... I hope Morgans project passes.....
here is a picture of Morgans first poster - where he had to research different ways of communicating without words.
Strictly speaking braile forms words - as does smoke signals and morse code .. but I hope we came up with enough unusal ones to satisfy the teacher!

AFL Boy
Morgan has started 'proper' ALF training this week. Whilst Lilly goes to the Auskick sessions on a sat morning , Morgan is now in the under 8s team who train on a Wednesday and then play fixture matches on a Saturday.
Thankfully the games are right after Lillys practice and the under 8s only play agianst each other - ther eare 4 teams - so it means no travelling to other groups this year. Next year however ... .anywhwer from Redcliffe to Ipswich.
He is just so proud of his uniform and being part of the group.
I'm sure I'll be updating this as we go along in the year...

Karate Kids
I have long resisted taking the kids to karate. Not because I don't think its a worthwhile or enjoyable thing to do - but as they have so many other things they are doing during the week that there really isn't the time.
However - over the last year, I have had to miss out going to classes as Adrian has been waylaid at work or the buses have not run to plan or something has stopped him being home in time for him to look after the kids and for me to get to class.
My fitness and flexibility is slowly returning and my head getting used to the different kata - so am getting ready this year to grade. So I really need to be able to get to class twice a week.
Additionally, Sensei has been giving me the beginners to teach and guide and whilst he is away, I've been taking the subjunior class. Fresh meat - plenty of them - have enrolled this year - with about 15 newbies staying on past their first week. Makes things a bit squashed but its great to have new folk in class.
Anyways - With Adrian away and not able to be home and me having to take classes, I was forced to bring the kids with me. They pleaded to be able to join in - so I let them - and yes - they loved it. They have been to 8 classes so far and really enjoy the variety and the other kids. I think its been good for both of them too - focus and concentration a huge factor.
I had some old gi ( as well as a bunch of stuff from my karate school days) - so here's a pici of the peeps in gi. and yes - Morgan likes to lead with his shoulder.. and Lilly has an awesome punch on her.
