My Fearsome Sweetie


David started taking Jiu Jitsu with his friend James a week or two ago and just got his gi last night so of course he had to show it off for me when he got home! The kids had already gone to bed and I was sitting at the kitchen table working on something when he came striding in the house. Zoe was laying on the floor next to my feet and immediately freaked out when she saw him thinking he was an intruder. She barked and growled and made a huge display of protection...from under the kitchen table! Good to know I can count on her to defend me in the event of a real intruder.

David chose the royal blue gi which I think is kind of pretty. He wants me to hem the pants and then sew the patch to his leg. This ought to look super good with my amazingly bad sewing skills. I promise I won't take pictures of my poor excuse for sewing. Where is my mother in law when I need her? She's far better with a needle then I am!

David was very excited about his new gi and immediately asked me to take some photos of him in it. Of course indoor lighting after dark is just *so* wonderful and flattering. As is the atmospheric living room background. I'll have to take a few of him during the day in natural lighting with a much more appropriate background sometime soon. Until then, here's my fierce sweetie! Notice that he could barely control his ear to ear grin and the manly "I'm gonna put a hurtin' on you" face almost didn't happen. He made me laugh when he asked if I had any "tough guy" photoshop actions. I don't, but I'll start looking!

Isn't he cute? I'm sure that's not the effect he was going for, but David you'll always be cute to me :)
