Happy Valentine's Day Rykie!

I don't have a photo of you for this post. I hope to be able to take a photo of you in that cute karate outfit of yours soon (and before you change from a yellow shirt to an orange one). I just wanted to write here on your blog to say that I love you. Today you received your last stripe on your yellow belt. You are moving on up to an orange one. You seem to excel so quickly at anything you set your mind to. You sat tonight and read for a full hour to earn points for your school's reading contest. I'm so proud of you.  Happy Valentines Day, I love you! ~ Love, Mom
