May 3rd 2009 was a proud day for Tai Pi and Pumpkin. On that day, they received their black belts in Taekwondo three and a half years after they started out. There was a ceremony where Master Santos Rivas, the principal of J H Kim Taekwondo presented them with their black belts which have their names embroidered on one end and the name of the school in Korean on the other end.
I'm especially proud of Pumpkin for having persevered when there were times when it seemed she would never go beyond the higher grades. She had wanted to quit soon after getting the black belt but now she has said that she wants to go for first dan. Way to go Pumpkin!
