This morning Jude, Levi and I went to Jude’s first karate tournament. We went in empty handed and came out a half hour later with a trophy. Jude just had to do some punches and kicks on command from a judge and won the trophy regardless of his actual performance (this will be his only …

Jude’s Quote of the Day
“God keeps making the days and we keep planning them.” Jude is very excited about our plans this weekend, which include karate practice today, following by a movie at the theater and then a karate tournament tomorrow, followed by church and ice fishing.
A God Song
Jude came to me tonight saying that he has written a “God song.” It goes like this: “In a period of ti..i..i..me…God will pick us up.” Repeat 4 times. Jude told me that the song means that if you repent of your sins and love God, someday you will die and God will take you …
Karate Kid
Jude got his gold striped belt about a week ago at karate. He was really thrilled.
An Email from Jude
Andy set Jude up with an email account that Jude very occasionally uses to send me emails at work. It is always a highlight of my day, knowing that Jude pecked out a special message to me. Today he wrote: “Hi Mom, I am good. Are you good? I love you. i know you are …

The “A” Honor Roll, etc.
Jude got a package in the mail from his online government school teacher who is very nice, but very behind the scenes. It contained a certficate for the “A” Honor Roll for the first semester. He was pretty excited when I explained what it was. Today we took our star student and his brothers to …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude: “I don’t think we should we that cavity protection toothpaste anymore.” Me: “Why?” Jude: “Because I already used it and I got cavities.” (Or he needs to use more of it! The dentist said that although Jude has 2 cavities, he didn’t recommend we do anything about them since Jude isn’t too far off …
