We're Playin' Bas...ket...ball!


It's that time of year! Very exciting for us.  It's Maggie's first year. She had her first practice last night and Jordan had his tonight.  Jordan played last year so he's a little more familiar and coordinated.  We were a little nervous for Maggie.  While she has played a year of tball, she really hasn't had much experience at sports.  She's definitely her momma's daughter when it comes to coordination.  God Bless Her.  BUT...she was great last night!  She made at least 10 goals.  We were very excited for her.  She maybe looked over at us once or twice.  It was like she had been playing a while.  Now, she doesn't have a clue what to do when you're not shooting but that will come.  I'm just so happy that they get to experience these things and learn them before jr high and high school comes along and they're standing there with no clue. 
           This year isn't too bad with two in basketball.  It's only 5 or 6 weeks long and their games are on the same day at the same place.  That's the good thing about youth basketball.  Now when tball gets here, our lives will be crazy.  All three will play -assuming Maggie plays- she didn't want to last year but I think she wishes she had.  We'll see.  But the practices will be different and the games will be different.  3 teams.  uugghh.  But, time flies by and the next 12 years will be gone in a flash.  Hopefully we will live in every moment instead of wishing it was over.  We find ourselves doing that sometimes. I really want my kids to know that I was present in every second.  I don't want them to feel like they are a bother.  I want them to feel important and loved.  This old world may not treat them the same when they get out there!  Enjoy it all!
