The two older boys are playing basketball this winter. This is J's first attempt. He wasn't much of a soccer fan once he discovered his love of art. He keeps telling me that he just wants to do art, but I keep telling him that we believe in well-rounded children who get in a little exercise. I have a feeling this is going to be a long battle...but one I'm willing to take on. Back to the real story...J is pretty athletic and coordinated. Things seem to come easily to him. The only trick is keeping him interested. He dribbled the ball some. He played defense like a mad man (on offense and on defense), and he passes like he's playing "Hot Potato." We'll have to work on those a little. These photos are from his first game.
K joined a team this year that is filled with some of his best friends from school. As we watched the first game, it was hard not to think back to his first game last year. Boy, has he come a long way! We definitely have plenty to learn, but he isn't so intimidated and seems to enjoy the game. We didn't get any good action shots at this game, but we did manage to get a few of the team.
