Having just started this blog, I'm making up for lost time and, therefore, going to summarize our busy summer months. March and April were busy with birthdays for the boys at our household. Jonah turned 7 and Ash turned 3. We also got a new addition to the family on Jonah's birthday--a puppy aptly named "Chewie" (Jonah's idea :) He is a toy poodle/mini schnauzer mix called a Schnoodle (I know, what will they think of next!). He is white and curly and if his facial beard is left long he looks like a Schnauzer, it he's trimmed he's a Poodle--dual personalities, cool. Anyway, Jonah has a play buddie and Ash is learning to tolerate his presence more and more. I think he'll be good for both of them.
Also, Jase and Jonah participated in their first karate tournament together. Jonah ended up with a blue ribbon for sparring and Jase took home a trophy for 2nd place in kata (forms)...he also ended up with a cracked rib, but he was a real trooper about it. Awww, the fun continues :)
