Wait, I need to repeat that. Whew!! What a month. Between preparing students for finals and then grading those finals, I've also been running around from one activity to the next with our boys. Mike's also been busy with Christmas concerts. This is a crazy time of year. It leaves me feeling slightly frazzled, but also very dazzled by my children. They are pretty amazing. Zach is playing basketball for the second year. I'm really enjoying watching him start to understand the game. He's still one of the littlest on the team (curse my height-challenged genes), so he's not playing post or getting a lot of shots, but he is hustling and proving to be a decent little guard.
In addition to bball, Zach has also been busy with our church's Christmas musical. This year the plot of the play revolved around Zach's character, who was a busy dad that thought his job was more important than Christmas. Zach and all of the kids were great. It's fun to see our children's talents emerging.
Of course, I can't leave out Alec! He's also playing basketball this year. My littlest man is not the fastest kiddo on the court, but he is the cutest! He's been so fun to watch, simply because he has no idea what's going on. They tell him to put his hands up to play defense, so he just wonders around the court with his hands up. He still can't quite get the ball to the rim, but was very excited to hit the bottom of the net yesterday. He's having fun, and that's the only thing that matters.
This will probably be my last post until after the holiday rush. We're leaving on Saturday for Texas and then Oklahoma. Looking forward to some family time! Love to you and have a great Christmas!
