Sunday - Last of Christmas

Today started off very slow and a little later than normal. I actually slept in which is pretty rare in our house. It was good and bad. Good sleep, but that meant less time to get everything done. We got up and went to church. Good sermon - it was about giving ourselves to God. I truly believe we need to give back to our society and community. In our house, we try to give back as much as we can. My wife does it everyday as a nurse. It is something we instill into our children as well. There are so many without in our own country and even in our own community, that we have to help. It is great to see our children ask how we can help. After church, then Nate and I got right into exercises and our daily run. Good day. We really spent time focusing on position, being strong, and technique. We still have some work to do for the pre-test, but making progress. Nate also had basketball camp today. He is part of the Dream Big league (at Huntersville Elementary) on Sundays. It is an awesome program, and he is really getting pretty good. Other than Taw Kwon Do, I think basketball is a sport that he could thrive at as he grows. We ate dinner and finished the evening with removing our Christmas Tree from the house. This is the final part of Christmas in our house, so it is now officially over for our family. It is my favorite time of year, but on to the new year. Staying on track and positive. Looking forward to another week.
