Ok....whew...I did it.  I got some footage of Harrison's extreme form!  His instructor was kind enough to allow me to come yesterday to video at their studio.  On the way up to do this, Harrison informed me that he wasn't sure if he could remember all of it or not.  I was flabbergasted by this because his competition in which he received a silver medal for this very form was last Saturday, a mere three days before.  "Well, I've already started making up the next one for the tournament in June, so that may mess me up," he explained.  I sighed loudly and just told him to do his best.

Just an FYI, what you're about to see, is exactly what he did in Mobile.  He hadn't forgotten after all.  And he made this up all by himself.  I helped him a little with the timing and such, but it is in large his brain child.

If I were going to compete in TaeKwonDo tournaments, I would want to do that because it's just so darn cool looking.  Never mind that I can't do even half that stuff anymore.

Here he is actually at the tournament, with his hardware:  a silver medal.

And speaking of forms, Annaleigh did not too shabby herself on her regular form, earning her second gold medal of the day for this....

Way to go, munchkins!  As parents, Big D and I couldn't be prouder.....not because you medaled, but because you did your best!

You're grrr-r-r-eat! (I'm hearing Tony the Tiger in my head, if that helps)

I'm stealing minutes during the day on the last day of the month, so I really have to scoot. Please give both Harrison & Annie high five and hugs from the SC fam.

Love you bunches!

My boys are standing right here very excited about these videos. They say,"Cool!" They are yellow belts in Karate, so they are quite impressed with your kids.

Harrison's routine looked so cool. And what does Annaleigh is awesome. You should be proud. Although winning medals is wonderful, it is even better knowing they did their best. You have some great kids there.
