Basketball Star...indeed...

I haven't posted in awhile... There is a very reasonable explanation for that... I have been busy with the girls' new activities which have given me plenty of material for blogging, but very little time. That being said, today we have what could be called perfect timing. When I took the girls to school, it was snowing. It had been snowing all night. It snowed all morning so that when I got an email from the school telling me they were closing early, it was no surprise. Now I have the girls safely home and getting ready for some fun in the snow (more fodder for blogging); but I also have a few uninterrupted minutes to update the blog. Since we're pretty much snow bound and nothing could entice me to brave these roads again (unless Kevin gets stuck coming home)...I'm in blogging heaven.

So, let's start with Jackie. Basketball season started for the charter school-league last week. We are not going to mention scores other than to say that we haven't won a game yet (or even come close). The best thing we can say is that the girls are having fun, learning the game quickly, and improving all the time. Most importantly, they are having fun. Without further ado, here is Jackie's debut into the wide world of sports...

First game...


First home game...warming up
Going in for a lay-up during warm-ups!



High fives, she made the basket!!!


Then she notices the flashing camera and says: "NO - MOM!!!! Don't take my picture!!!"


Too late...*FLASH* She really is a basketball star!!!
