You heard right. Martial art craze embraced the Spalding family. It all started a few months ago with Luke taking classes at the martial art school a few blocks from their home. Soon Jacob joined him and right after Brian made his debut. From there it accelerated to 7 days a week with training, practicing, fund raisers, playtime and tournaments.
I personally admire the dedication they put into this Sport, but there is one downside, it has cut tremendously into our time of enjoyment with our grandchildren. This sounds a little selfish, but I guess that's life.
At this time Luke and Jacob are proud owners of a yellow belt and Brian will test next week to receive his.
2 months ago they went to a tournament in Canada receiving a few medals and 4 weeks ago they had a tournament here in St Louis where their school won the grand price.
Let the tournament begin

We just got word that Windy will also join them in the practicing of martial art in the near future.
O well, so much for seeing our grand children.
