The progress here at karate4family.com never stops.

Actually, that’s not true. Sometimes it stops for a bit, but then it starts again. Then, it stops. Then it starts again, but this time it’s sure it can make it, but it still stops and then asks for directions.  And starts once more. Which is alright until progress has to stop for a bathroom break.

Anyhow, we’ve added a new photo gallery that we hope you’ll enjoy. As you could expect, this new photo gallery comes loaded with pics from the last year, includingthis month and the month of July.

Surf around and check it out!

While you shopped for holiday gifts, put up holiday decorations and then tore them back down, we’ve been collecting photos. Many, many photos. Many, many, many photos! (etc). And now we present them to you. Here are three new photo galleries:
