Mum and Silas Reading

I needed to take a few snapshots when I saw Mum reading to Silas

under the Christmas tree.

Ok.. Now look at me and smile.

No Silas, not a "funny face!"

I love to hear him laugh.

Ok. Serious photo smile.

Nice.

Mulberry Tree

I guess it just has to happen...

Normally white-belts don't spar,

but Silas is well on his way to yellow,

so he was allowed to spar with the yellows.
