I'll give Jack my usual chat about "finding your tree" today. Don't worry, it will make sense when you hear it. ;) That might get him going in the right direction or give him some ideas.

Nice to see you online!

Jack is doing great, improving every class. We miss Ella on the floor too.
Hope to see her out there soon.

Hey Shirley! Glad you made it over. Do you have any karate pics of those awesome kids of yours that you could share? I was just telling someone about how great Jack is doing in class. I've seen such a major improvement in his confidence and his motor skills. I hope we see Ella back soon too!
