This year we are all involved with basketball - such a great family activity when it is too cold and rainy to be outside. I am coaching the team Sarah and Emily are on. It is Emily's first year to play and she is super excited. Kathryn is getting really good and has some great girls on her team. James is coaching Jacob's team and they are having a blast together. Samantha is the Walker Team cheerleader. She does a terrific job of cheering at all the games each week. We play with the Upwards basketball league. It is put on through different Christian churches in the area. It is a wonderful program that teaches the kids the skills of basketball in a fun, nonthreatening way, where 'every child is a winner'. Google 'Upwards Basketball' to see if they have a league in your are. We are really enjoying it. As an extra bonus I am getting a lot of practice taking action shots, I think I will get the hang of it soon...

Basketball is fun! Austin is loving it too. Too bad we don't live closer so they can't be on the same team. Way to go Carol for coaching your girls' team!
You KILL me... not doing enough already?! Coaching basketball. Both of you. How cool is that? Good thing we're friends.
I miss you.
Miss you Carol!! And James looks like a professional coach. I drove to College Station (3 hours) with the kids on my own and it was great - now I need to slowly work my way up to driving to Alabama (or maybe we could meet halfway).
Gald to see some updates. Fun stuff.
UPWARDS Basketball.... we did that in Texas at one of the enormous Baptist churches. All was well until one particular halftime sermon, and a rather peculiar end of the season rock fest in their chapel and we decided this may not be the best fit for our kiddos. Glad it works so well for you!
