The Bathroom is Finished!

The master bathroom renovation is finally complete. It seemed to take forever, actually we were out of there for about 3 months. Just last week we think we got the leak of the new doors resolved. It has been a frustrating experience but we are happy with the finished room.

Nick's Early Birthday Celebration

Nick celebrated his birthday a few weeks early this year. His friend Adi is in India for the summer visiting family and Nick was bummed he wouldn't be here for his birthday. So with Kelsey at a friends for a sleepover we decided to have a guys night here for his birthday on the last night of school. He had a few of his close friends sleepover and a bunch of the neighbors join us for s'mores on the grill and some football in the backyard. I can't believe my baby is going to be double digits this year!

Sensei Kelsey

Kelsey received her black belt today. We are so proud of her for all of her hard work. I have some pictures and video. Of course the camera didn't focus too well in the dark from far away and the video is sideways, but other than that it's all good. If anyone knows how to rotate the video to the right way, let me know.
Kelsey is on the left side of the stage. She is on the left end of the line while performing and in a similar position with all of the students on stage. The after pictures are of her and the other candidates from the school as well as one with her and two of her instructors.

Sensei Kelsey's routine

I hope this video upload works. Sorry it is sideways.

More videos

The first video was short. It looks like it uploaded ok. I am going to try to do a few more from today and one from the studio when they first were practicing the routine. I hope they work so you can see how well she is doing. Kelsey is always on the left end for the performances.

Relay for Life June 3rd

Kelsey and I participated in the Delran Relay for Life Event. It is a fundraiser to help raise money to search for a cure. It is part of the American Cancer Society. Kelsey's girls group (formerly her girl scout troop) went as a team and named themselves Heroes vs Cancer and dressed in tshirts they made and purple capes. (Purple is the relay official color).
