Mason thrives in his karate class and recently passed his green-striped belt test. Here he is (left side in middle) during the test, which is a 2 hour, intense workout.
The top 5 belts had to move up front and do at least 25 pushups... he did 25 perfectly formed, full pushups. I was gasping out loud (dramatic but I couldn't help it) and shocked that he was able to do it:)
That's Mason on the right battling it out with batons and full head gear on a balance beam... gladiator style!
Practicing wrestling and takedowns moves with an older "true" black belt student.
Being awarded his green belt by the instructor at the end of the test.
Playdate with Mason's BFF, Ko!! ...he returned from Japan after a 2 month visit.
Paris is playing softball for the first time this year and is loving it!
She also shocked us all by auditioning for a school musical (Little Red Riding Hood) and getting the part of Granny. She sang two solos and caught the acting bug.
Paris and her friend, Amelia, selling girl scout cookies downtown in front of H&M.
She also started another season of Girls on the Run... that's her in the back right. Great news was that her friend, Jennifer (in green) was able to join the team even though she goes to another school.
Alex started baseball too (he's on the Orioles again this year:)), but since i don't have any pics yet, here he is trying on my reading glasses...and looking like he's 15 yrs. old.
Alex's (back row in blue) 1st grade class on Dr. Seuss day. They wore their pjs. and had reading parties all day.
Mason is obsessed with the piano and plays very well (self-taught;)). Richard came by recently and played for him and Mason just ate it up.

Love that Paris is doing softball and girls on the run again and fun to do it with Jennifer. I hope I get to see her act one day before she is famous.

Those karate photos are too much, Mason looks SO intense in every single shot! Nice that Paris is trying out drama, I keep wishing Nico would get into that. Alex looks really good in your glasses, before I read the caption I thought they were his! Also nice to see Richard's smiling face..
