Upward

It's basketball season again, and this year we have a cheerleader joining in the fun. W and M are both participating in Upward sports this year (http://www.upward.org/). If you're not familiar with Upward, take a moment to check out that link. It's a wonderful, Christian sports program in which the kids learn how to be more Christ-like, good sportsmanship, are exposed to positive role models, and learn Scripture every week.

I do want to take a moment to brag about J, who chooses to fill his extracurricular time with less sporty activities. He's been such a supportive brother and goes to games and practices without complaint. So though he'd rather be at Lego League than a basketball game, he's a big fan of his siblings and helps make it fun for all of us.

Here are a few photos from their first week with Upward. W got the award for best effort at his first game, and M got the leadership award during her first time ever as a cheerleader.















After the game, we went out for dinner to celebrate the start of what promises to be a fun season.
