It's That Time Again

It's Upward Basketball time again!!! Woop Woop!!! Noah is  super excited!!! He loves Upward better than anything else he plays!!! And, I love it because not only do they get to learn the fundamentals of the game, but they get to have fun and not be soooo competitive!!! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want him to be competitive, it is good at times, I just think it is good to have a more relaxed, laid back event!!! And at this age isn't it about fundamentals and fun??? Some may not agree with me here, but to each his own. Ha! And even more importantly it is played in a christian atmosphere and they get to learn a new bible verse and hear a devotion every week! It just amazes me, and breaks my heart, too, that so many children don't ever get to hear the word of God!! This is just a great time for the community! At the end of the "season" they have an awards ceremony and both years that Noah has played there have been 4 or 5 children to be saved!(out of 150 or so kids)  What a blessing! I guess I should say I'm super excited, too!!!

So, without further ado, here is the schedule (for all you aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends who have been wondering):

1/7/12  10:00am
1/14/12  11:00am

  1. LOVE the idea of Upward! Can't wait until Emma is old enough to play (actually I can wait, but I know it's coming like it or not so I might as well have something exciting to look forward to!).
