Happy 4th birthday to #3

#3 came along in 2007. He was, what most would describe as "unexpected." His older brother is a mere 16 months older. He's an incredible gift, and we think, quite possibly, crazier than #1 and #2 put together.

I've been convinced since day 1 that we made the right decision with World Class TKD.This is the recent testing that their two instructors, Richard Coon and Justin Scarcella went through to earn their 4th degree black belt. Absolutely incredible.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyPym-ygOl4&fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0]

Kind of a mix between antiques roadshow and american chopper.Anyway - the bachelor is on, and I have to configure my knees…
