Stick horse Tokyo
Bryce made a stick horse for school. He will probably skip first grade and go straight to second grade next year. He competed in his first Karate tournament a couple of weeks ago and got first place (everybody got first or second place). 6 year olds and martial arts is a funny thing to watch. The tournament was more like “whack-a-mole” than karate. Lisa is in Tokyo right now for her final Air National Guard tour. Sounds like she is having a good time. (We miss you). We still have many little projects left around the house. We finally have a permanent front door, grass and some tile work finished. The trees are all in bloom here in Texas. The view is great from the back porch.
To Zoe and Bryce, Thank you for the sign. I love and miss you guys very much and wish I was home with you. Japan is nice but it’s cold and windy today, and yesterday it was cold and rainy. The cherry blossoms are in bloom here. They only flower once a year (kind of like bluebonnets). Maybe Dad can show you a picture of them online. I hope you’re both being good listeners and helpers for Dad. I’m sending you all big hugs and kisses and can’t wait to hug and kiss you for real when I get home. Love, Mom
