He started a student Pickleball club as President and, after months of drilling in Junior Team Tennis, achieved his goal of making the Varsity Tennis team! We are so very proud of him!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kaleb<\/strong>&nbsp;hit double digits this year (Happy 10th!) and is following in his brother&#8217;s footsteps, joining his first pickleball league and also playing tennis,&nbsp; winning medals in two different city tennis tournaments. We are so happy with his growth!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off the court, the adults had a big year too. We are now a &#8220;Marketing Power Couple&#8221;\u2014<strong>James<\/strong>&nbsp;moved from Engineering to become a Group Product Manager, and&nbsp;<strong>Czarin&nbsp;<\/strong>was promoted to Assistant Marketing Director at Kidokinetics before hitting my one year anniversary. We celebrated all this hard work with an unforgettable family trip to the Big Island, Hawaii with James&#8217; parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are cherishing these busy, active days.
