Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

night ball

We signed Shawn up for basketball this year, his first team sport.  After the clinics we had the option to put him on a team where he would be the oldest and one of the more advanced players, or the youngest and one of the more beginner players.  We chose the latter.  He is in the Junior Midgets league, having so much fun, and learning a lot more than basketball.  The season is half over, and here are the relevant stats thus far:  

The Sharks.   
Wins: 1
Losses: 4
Shawn's points: 2!  You have no idea how exciting this basket was!
Parent support at games: 120%

Lessons learned thus far:  
Patience
Cooperation 
Good sportsmanship 
Humility
Teamwork
