Basketball and Birthdays

This weekend Joshua played in his first basketball tournament with his AAU team we joined a couple of weeks ago. He is playing with some very talented kids against some talented kids. He is being challenged greatly. Saturday he didn't get time at all; but did a good job of cheering for his team. He of course was pretty disappointed and so was his coach cause he really wanted to get him in. However, we still need some work to get to this level of play. All good. I really appreciate the coaches' encouragement and desire to help Joshua learn.

However today is my birthday and what a fun present to walk in to his games today after church and see him playing. He set some great picks played some good defense and did his job. He played quite a bit in the 1st game which we won easily and got a tiny bit of time in the 2nd which we fell just short in. At this point, it was a good experience and I am looking forward to seeing him grow in his basketball skill and life skills as well.

I just had a great birthday! I will need to do some serious exercises and disciplined eating to make up for this birthday. :)
