Basketball went out with a Bang

Is this fair???

Finally! During the last game of the season, her teammates figured out how to get the ball to her and she made 6 baskets!!! Way to go, Madeline.

Go Miss Defender!

Getting coaching from Dad

This shot was taken just after Madeline made a basket! I hate that I had limited power on my camera, and I was slow on the trigger. Argh!

Malcolm's Basketball

We attended Malcolm's basketball game last night. He did the jump ball at the beginning of the game. Look at those ups! Go Malcolm!

We LOVE going to watch Malcolm's games.

Dirty Hands and Posted Up

Hand! Hand! (Evrit loves birthday cake, but he DOES NOT like dirty hands. LOL!)

Look at my girl! She is posted up and waiting for the ball. Unfortunately, her teammates don't know how to get it to her.

Madeline's Day Out - Basketball game, Pictures taken at Target, and then off to the Movies!

My friends came to my basketball game.

After the basketball game and having our pictures taken at Target, we headed to the mall to catch a movie, The Spy Next Door.

(We have had fun watching Madeline grow as a basketball player this season.)

Evrit's New Ba-Ball

This is another one of my birthday gifts.  "Cheese, Mom, Cheese!"  (This is Evrit's way of asking for his picture to be taken.)

Still cheesin' with his new "ba-ball".

Basketball Continues

Madeline's dribbling has improved greatly.  Unfortunately, her assertiveness on the court has not ... yet.

Evrit is fully ready to exercise his assertiveness on the court!  We really have to hold him back!

I have been out of the picture sending mode for a while.  My hands have been bothering me and I am about to have carpal tunnel surgery.  I will try to get pictures out this week and maybe next, but then we will probably be offline for a while during my recovery.  I hope all of you are well.  --Melissa

Madeline is playing some basketball this winter.  She is still learning how the game is played, but she is doing well and has even made some shots!  Here she is in action.

Evrit understands it all and is ready to play!!!
