Basketball season
It's time once again for basketball in our household. Not that we play basketball in the house. Football, yes, but not basketball.
No, the church league - Upwards Basketball - has begun again. This is the 6th year we have been involved; the Boy has played for 5 of those years, and assisted on his sisters' team last year. He gets to play again this year, and he is so into it. And he is so much better, more coordinated, more aware of what needs to be done on the court. (The action shot is a little blurry!)
I did not get to see his first game last Saturday. G took him down to the game while I stayed at home with the girls (One had been throwing up all morning .. I didn't think it would be prudent to take her out). The Boy had an amazing game, good dribbling skills, good offense, etc.
At the end of the game, the coach on each team gives out stars to his players. This time our Boy earned the Yellow star for sportsmanship. Makes a parent proud.
He's the one in the white jersey:

I coached Upwards basketball for two years when Whitney was 1st and 2nd grade. It's a really great program. Then we moved to volleyball and found her true love. My true love is watching and not being the coach.
