Yellow Belt!

Ronan got his yellow belt in Ninjutsu last night. He had to demonstrate all the skills he learned as a white belt in front of his entire class and all the adults present. He did quite well, and we're very proud. We are really impressed with the confidence and discipline he is acquiring at these classes, but mostly, we're looking forward to the day when we can use our little Ninja to seek revenge against the jerk that did this:

Yes, that is the picture window in our office. Thankfully the chunk of asphalt that was thrown only broke one of the panes of glass, but it's still going to cost us a pretty penny to replace it. Scott is really funny when he tells people what happened. He says that someone threw a brick through our window. Which implies that 1) the object thrown actually went through the window and into our home, and 2) that said object was, in fact, a brick instead of a piece of asphalt. He tends to exaggerate a bit. And the story usually gets more dramatic with each telling. We figure that in about a week, he'll be telling people that someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window and he had to stomp the flames out with his bare feet.
