The next Karate Kid(S)!
Mikaela started Taekwondo a few months ago and is currently an orange belt (w/ headband) working towards yellow, she will be testing for her yellow belt at the end of July!! She is doing AWESOME! She loves going , she loves practicing her form and she has changed so much since starting! She is super polite, more energetic, she watches less TV now and even practices while going potty. LOL
Corey and I started this Monday (I'm super sore!!!!!!!) We had a great time and can't wait to go back tomorrow!
Frankie started his class yesterday. He is going to the Special Abilities Class. He will be learning wheelchair and walker forms for now. He had a blast, and so did I!! I absolutely LOVED watching the older kids, they are so inspiring!
SOOO, we currently are a family of 3 white belts and 1 orange with a headband (2nd stage of orange) We are officially the Hudson Taekwondo Family :)
Here are some pictures of the kids, you will never EVER see pictures of me and Corey!!!

Frankie is 3!!!
Happy Birthday to my Itty Bitty BIG BOY!! It's hard to believe that 3 years have passed!
Frankie Signing "Eat"
SO... When Frankie was diagnosed with RTS and I read all the information about it I cried. The hardest thing was reading that I had a 50 percent chance of never hearing my baby boys voice. Every mom wants to hear their child call them mommy or Momma right? Frankie has been making alot of progress in this area! He doesnt really "talk", but I have heard his voice! Frankie has a few words and also a few signs. If he doesn't add any new words for the rest of his life, I'M HAPPY!! Frankie says up, backpack , mama (not to me yet but he says it!!) , he calls me baba, he says bite, bubbles, bye bye and a few more random things! Frankie signs more, finished and eat! So much progress in the last 3 years, more than I could have hoped for!!
Now... I had a dream , my dream / wish was for Frankie to walk by his 3rd birthday. He crawled right before his 2nd birthday so it could happen right?? Well, check out the video below!
My dream/wish was never too specific , just to have Frankie walking. Frankie is walking, he is walking assisted - but he is walking!! Definitely a dream come true!!! I can't wait to see whats in store for us next!
Now for a little update on Frankie's growth. Frankie is now 24 pounds 3.2 oz and 33.1 inches long! Growing, slowly but surely!!

Frankies early birthday present!
We found the PERFECT birthday present for Frankie!! It amazed me to see how fast he learned how to ride it when we put him on it at the store! It was so perfect that I had to give it to him 2 weeks early, its ok though - Frankie doesnt mind!!

RTS FAMILY IN NEED
Below is a link that belongs to the blog of someone in our RTS family. They had a very bad flood in their house over the holidays and are now trying to put everything back together. Their son Jesus' room was damaged the worse. He is a 9 month old baby boy with RTS, hes another of Frankie's twins! They are in desperate need of a crib for Jesus as well as bedding. He also lost most of his toys. They also have a 3 year old daughter who lost the majority of her toys and books. If you can, please help this sweet family! New or used, it doesn't matter - they need your help!
