Winter Sports: Basketball!

We've been busy since we rang in the new year!  The boys have started back to basketball.... enjoying practices throughout the week and games on Saturday.  It was so much fun cheering on the boys and their cousin, Emmy, to three wins in their first week of games!  They have since had a second weekend of basketball and had three wins again (I got the highlights of Z's game from another parent)! ;)  Daddy, Uncle Boomer, and Grandpa are helping coach the kids' teams which means the whole family is committed to Saturdays at the basketball court!  Zander missed his game yesterday due to a fever, lethargy and cough that started on Friday.  The doctor said it isn't strep or the flu so we are just waiting out the virus! He has started feeling better today and now Maddox is under the weather.   We are praying the germs leave quickly and are thankful the symptoms are manageable with some pain medication!  We are also thankful for the long weekend and having an extra day to recover tomorrow before heading back to school. Daddy still has to work but I think the rest of us will be taking it easy.  Zander starts back to soccer next week so we will be juggling multiple sports until March!  Prayers appreciated ;)

Both boys won in the Ninja Warrior Night last week in Awana.  They had the fastest times in the inflatable obstacle course (Z for 3rd-5th, M for K-2nd).  These boys are definitely competitive and athletic!

I was able to have two social gatherings this week in spite of the hectic pace that has started in the new year.  I got to see some of my best friends for dinner and celebrate a co-worker and cherished friend's 50th birthday party with many of my colleagues.  Since we were celebrating M's teacher, he got to tag along. ;)
