Camo at Judo - End of Month 1

Cameron did very well through his first month of Judo. He attends 3 times a weeek a bit over an hour each time. He has learned 4 techniques now. Techniques are called Waza's. He knows 3 standing and one ground. He has become pretty good at pinning his opponent. The warm-ups are great. They do push-ups, bend and thrusts, army crawls, bear walks, and leg lifts among others. The exercises definitely push the kids, they dont just do like 10 pushups they do 30 or more sometimes! The instructor is amazing with these guys! Camo just started his 2nd month now.

Thanksgiving
We had a really good thanksgiving this year. I made some homemade cranberry sauce that was really good and Kims mom made a great turkey. We all sat around the table and in the end we are all thankful for health and family. Our kids were on the best behavior and were really a joy to be hanging out with. We went to a movie- Madagascar 2 and it was really funny! Then came home and began the ritual of setting up Christmas decorations. A co-worker sent me a very true email that really makes one think. Some of the snippets were "if you are upset at the loudness or off-key singing of ones around you-Be THANKFUL that you can hear, If you are aggravated with your kids behaviour, be THANKFUL that your kids are there with you, If you are tired of reading about the bad things in the world, be THANKFUL that you are educated enough to read, If you are feeling strapped financially and cannot go out and do the things you want, Be THANKFUL you have a roof over your head.
We do take a lot of things for granted and even in hard times we need to see we are still fortunate. HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!
