MORE basketball (and sping)

This week represented the official end of Noah's 4th basketball season (if the picture count on the fridge is correct) and the beginning of Ben's second and Lydia's very first.  Actually, this is a big deal for Lydia as it is her first experience at any sort of organized sport, team or otherwise. I have to say, I think we may be on to something here for her.

Ben is somewhat of a pro, having played one other time in his life, which to be fair, is a whole lot more than anyone else on his team has played apparently.  As such, he has nominated himself to be assistant coach. Great.

Lydia, with her long limbs and endless energy, may just have found her niche. As soon as she can keep her hands on the ball.  She is still working through the whole "catch the ball" not "smack the ball" thing, but I have faith that she will get it.  If nothing else, she will be a dominating defensive player, jumping around and waving her arms at anything that moves.

Their first game happens to be next week, while Jeff and I are gone so please keep Poppy in your prayers, as he will most likely be the one navigating Port Orchard in the dark trying to find the hidden entryway into the school.  I don't know what it is around here, but schools in Port Orchard do NOT illuminate the entry to their parking lots. That, paired with the fact that the majority of them are located on small, two lane roads which lack street lights of any sort, makes it a real pain in the bum to try and find them when you are late to practice!

All legs.

Okay, so he LOOKs like an assistant coach...






As a sign off, this is what is coming up in my yard now...despite the 30 degree temps in the mornings around here. I pray they live to spring time!
