Sophia's Growth Spurt -- April 26, 2026

Our friends over at the old neighborhood on Hightimber Drive, Grapevine, TX, have been measuring Sophia's growth over the years.

 

Sophia's Summer Schedule -- 2026

 

 

Jinho Jiu-Jitsu

2026 belt ceremony: Jinho Jiujitsu Academy Kids Belt Promotion Feb. 2026. 

Unfortunately Sophia missed this one because she was out in California helping her grandmother and Cindy with "Celebration of Life" for Flavio Garcia, February 6, 2026. Sophia did earn her first stripe on her new belt which was presented after she returned home. 

Happy New Year -- January 1, 2026
