It is winter, and basketball season is in full bloom. Ashlie prefers baseball, but I am definitely more partial to the hardwood court. Michael, Jacob, and Allison each play on a different team, and they've won more games than they have lost...which is certainly preferable to the other option. Each of the three is one of the best defensive players on their team. I'm really not sure why, as their father's version of defense is generally to wave hello to the offensive player as he blows by me for an easy score. Perhaps it has something to do with meal-time, and the skills they have honed keeping each other from grabbing that last tansy chicken nugget or piece of apple pie. Whatever the reason, it works well.
Michael is the point guard for his team, and surprisingly has learned how to pass quite well at an early age. Once again, he didn't get that from me. I haven't yet learned how to make a pass at his mother that accomplishes anything...

poor bubba. Ashlie doesn't give you the time of day, huh?
I love watching grade school basketball games - as they are so much fun! I wonder how you keep up with all 3 teams!!!
hated to miss the games today. Hope it was 3 wins!
I LOVE watching the kids play. And, as Adam had indicated, they are really good. I know I am just a little bit prejudice, but that's ok too. Now, Adam and Josh played a little on their school team and I thought they did good. Maybe Adam is a little modest. I can believe the statement on getting all you can at meal time for I have eaten at their house and Ashlie is ONE FINE COOK. As Michael amply put it singing to her.....Hey goodlookin'...What ya got cooking.... (Michael is such a heart warmer!!!)
adam, last time you past the ball Reagan was president and stamps were 25 cents a smack!
