Today was opening day of our church's Upwards basketball season. Andrew's team won 34-12, and Andrew was responsible for 7 of those baskets. In fact, when he first came out, he made his first 5 shots. He won the "offensive player" of the game award.
It was also Gary's coaching debut, as he is coaching Wesley's 5th and 6th grade team. The coaching continued on the sidelines, as Wesley sat out for a time.
Wesley's team also won their first game 18-12. Wesley made one of the baskets for his team. Overall, it was a fun day and the boys really gave 100%. It was good to see our gym filled with many new players and parents.
Brooke has really grown physically and maturity wise since she started first grade. I remember when she used to cry every time we took her to get her pictures taken. Now, she acts like the little model. More importantly though, we are thankful for her sensitivity to others and to the Lord. Six is looking good on you, babe!
