All Things Hoop It Up.

Tonight Alex's team posted their first W...that's as in, win, baby!...and Alex actually...almost...made a basket himself...I am so proud of him...basketball is a natural extension of Ken's right arm...not so for Alex...he's worked so hard...it is his first season playing...and times are different...Ken and his buddies were all about hitting the hoops after school...these days with scheduled play dates and activities we don't do that at all.

Alex's eyes are visible as he steals the ball from the dude he was guarding.

Woo-hoo...

So the little dude is doing his very best and his hard work paid off tonight...he did great on defense...and is really trying on the offense. It's sometimes hard to watch you children have to work hard for something...but its also so rewarding.

Because some of you have worried...the 6.0 earthquake yesterday was centered in a town called Wells, NV...which is truly far from us...northeast...we didn't feel a thing...but thank you so much for worrying about us...y'all know I love that we have so many friends and family members concerned about us...God bless you all.

Tomorrow we have the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Dinner...it's a big deal...the boys in our den will get to graduate to the next level of Cub Scouts...which means Alex will be a Webelos next year...that's short for "We'll Be Loyal Scouts." And it's the final step before he's a true Boy Scout...not just a little ol' Cub Scout.

So here's wishing you a little hoop-de-doo this weekend...a little moment to a shoot a basket or two...be they physical or philosophical. Wishing you a 3-pointer either way.
