Micah

 All About Micah

Micah is the most forgiving and thoughtful person in my life.  It may not seem like it, but she's pretty keenly aware of others' around her, what they need, how they feel, and it affects her more than just superficially.  It really is a gift.  She is the first to notice her surroundings and gauge them for how it makes her feel.  She's the first to remember birthdays and it's important to her to make sure others are given gifts that are thought out. She's the one who'll leave notes of love and encouragement.  She's sentimental and caring. She's the first to forgive anyone who steps on her, even intentionally.  She's sometimes a vulnerable target because of her sensitivity. I find it to be one of her best gifts, and I also worry and hope she doesn't let others squash her spirit or try to change her.  

Micah likes things like: dinosaurs, sharks, and tigers , and lots of books.  She likes shooting her BB gun and practicing her bow and arrow.  Karate has given her something she can stand proud and confident of.  She just passed her belt exam for her orange belt.  It's given her a new ways of walking in the dojo- shoulders back, head high, and no looking back.  She likes things like rearranging her room five times a week- moving her furniture (all by herself), drawing tigers for her tiger wall, spreading blankets everywhere, making reading nooks, and basically filling up all extra space with stuff.   I'm happy she has a space of her own. Some of her favorites: fishing and camping, eating bananas, and family movie night.  She's a homebody and would rather be here than anywhere else.

Things Micah doesn't like: storms with thunder and lightening, cheese (except for sometimes), being alone, and math.

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...
 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
