Over the weekend...

No parades or big parties for us here but we still managed to have an eventful weekend...

On Friday night, Asher was awarded his orange belt at karate. The promotion ceremony involved showing off what kids had learned, awarding the new belts and then eating pizza. ;) Asher was pretty happy:

And here he is with the new belt actually on:

And karate wasn't all...it was a big weekend for Asher. :) Last weekend, he'd started testing the waters without training wheels; and, by this weekend, here's what we had:

(Many thanks, btw, to whatever friend it was who recommended that Balance Buddy! Saved Nathan's back, lol.) 

Yup. We now have two two-wheeling boys on our hands, and they couldn't be happier! I distinctly overheard Asher say "This is so awesome!" under his breath numerous times as he was riding around the culdesaq practicing his new skills. We even managed a family bike ride over to the nearby Farmer's Market on Sunday (with Micah in the trailer so we could all stay at about the same speed, lol). 

And then, this morning, the boys participated in their fifth Healthy Kids Fun Run:

They all looked to be struggling a bit more than previous runs, but all three managed to finish with great personal times (improvement for all three, I believe). 

And now Nathan and I are getting less fun things checked off our lists and the boys are enjoying their last day of summer before we start school back up tomorrow... 

Hope your weekend was lovely as well!
