Black Belt.

Cullen Swanson is now a Little Warrior level Black Belt!  He's been in karate for about 18 months and has passed through 7 belt levels.  This was also the first session that Jameson joined him.  The cousins will now be defending the universe from any evil with their jab-punch-sidekick-starblock set combos.  Keep it up buddy - we are proud of you!

Super Cool 6!

Cullen Robert Swanson is  years old.  My how time flies when you are having fun!  We had a week of birthday festivities.  The weekend before Cullen's birthday we celebrated March birthdays with the LaVigne clan:  Grandma Liz's birthday on 3.6 and Cullen's birthday on 3.13.  Then Cullen brought birthday treats to school on Wednesday:  popcorn and Rice Krispie bars.  On his birthday, Cullen played hooky from school and spent the day with Mimi and Jameson.  He was also lucky enough to meet his Godparents (George and Joanie) and Godsisters (Maddie and Sophia) for pizza.  The birthday finale was capped off with a fun dinner starring the Swanson family.  What a lucky kid!

Cullen is such a great kid.  He has an easy-going, fun-loving attitude.  He makes friends easily.  Cullen is very generous.  Oftentimes, he allows Simone to pick the first cartoon in the morning and has no problem sharing toys with others. He's always quick to give a hug and say "I love you".  Sports have always been and continue to be his passion:  skiing, football, baseball, basketball, biking, karate and golf - to name a few.  Cullen also likes school and is always eager to share an answer - sometimes even forgetting to raise his hand.  Dirk and I love that he still loves to hang out with us and we are continuing to savor every moment we have with this cool kid!
