Taekwondo

Keeping promises is sometimes hard to do.  When we visited Korea the first time, Hubby and I told the kids that we would get them enrolled in martial arts classes if we ever came to live here.  But during the school year it was not possible.  JCs’ homework load was staggering and there was no [...]
