Well, we find ourselves in the bliss the 'between sports' time - all of 10-14 days between when Upward Basketball ends & YMCA Soccer begins. It has been a nice reprieve from having to be out two nights for basketball practices (one for Micah & one for Si) and then most of the afternoon on Saturdays, depending on whether we had two or three games.

Both of the boys really enjoyed Upward Basketball. Andrea & I were also impressed with the program. We were a little concerned for Micah, as this is really the first organized sport he has participated in. He did great, though, as this video shows. He really moved a long way during the season. In the first game he pretty much just stood and guarded his guy no matter if his team was on defense or offense! The last game (ie this clip) he was running around, trailing his man, grabbing rebounces, making passes, etc.

The coach had promised the kids that if everyone scored in the last game that he would take them out for McD's after the game. Of course he personally guaranteed the feat and took matters into his own hands as the video shows :-) There was about 10 seconds left & Micah was the only one who hadn't scored. The coach grabbed the rebound, handed it to Micah & then picked him up & ran down the court to score a basket right before the buzzer sounded. It was hilarious!
