Last week, my 8-year-old graduated to Purple Belt in karate. Of course, I took way too many pictures of him and his older brother doing their thing at the graduation.<\/p>\n

As I was editing the pictures he asked me, \u201cAre you going to post those pictures on your blog?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can if you want me to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do want you to. Lots of pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay. What should it say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot too many words because it should be mostly pictures, but then you should write in big red letters, \u2018You should look at these pictures of my sons because they\u2019re awesome.'\u201d<\/p>\n

So here you go blog people \u2013 pictures of my karate kids.<\/p>\n

You should look at these pictures of my sons because they\u2019re awesome.<\/span><\/h1>\n
