Various Knots and Nots!

things are moving along here in the ashfam house, and while i fiddle around with a different picture program i am trying to update the world on our happenings. here is toran tying a "cape" to haven, and while she is sad here, she did love it for several minutes! you can see toran's room here with red and white stripe walls and the navy and hammered-metal dresser, which we spray painted to change the previous color of tan.



here is ciela wearing her new blue belt, which she received earlier in this class, with toran in the low-belt family class. they are sparring eachother here. now ciela is considered a high belt, and so they won't be taking any classes together again for awhile. ciela had to test for blue belt at another location for the school (they have 6) and that was very difficult for her. but after a few minutes of tears she talked with one of the instructors who dates one of ciela's instructors, and relaxed enough to go onto the floor.

glenn grew out his facial hair for halloween with intentions to have a costume to go along with some "look". but we ended up running a bit late for our day-of-halloween party, and so no fun could be had then. nevertheless, the following day glenn began demonstrating his artistic abilities in the form of hair. here is the the cowboy stache

one of my least favorite offerings would be the slimy stache! and here is the green in the tv room portion of the front room. i love it!
