Luke Working on the Jumper

I have some footage from Luke's game yesterday. Unfortunately the warm up shot is the best I have, as most of his team's action was on the other side of the court. I'll add more once I have it loaded.




Good looking shot. Now we need to work on defense, dribbling, and passing.

Holiday Recap

It's been a long while since we updated anything on the blog. I'm not sure where time goes. We had an excellent holiday season. Jenny enjoyed a nice stretch off from working, the kids were thoroughly spoiled by Santa (and grandparents) and we got a white Christmas. Unfortunately we can't seem to shake the snow, which is keeping the kids from enjoying most of the gifts they got this year. Luke was lucky enough to get a new bike, roller blades, and an assortment of basketballs. Mae got her own Dora scooter (no more Spider-Man) and a set of roller derby pads. The family also got a special gift in the combination of Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5. Dad thought it might be a good gift for the family, but it seems to be more for mom and dad.

Here are some pictures from the holidays and early winter months. We'll post more through the winter. I'll also try and get some video posted of Luke's basketball games and Mae causing havoc.

Why not a picture of Mom and Dad first. Not a bad shot of us as we prepared for the chaos of Christmas Eve at Grandma's house.

This is the best we could do with the kids on Christmas. It's a pretty good picture. Funny how Mae is looking at Luke so adoringly....if only you heard the day to day fighting. I'll have to get around to posting the outtakes.

Roller derby babe! That's right - helmet, gloves, elbow pads, and knee pads. Cole next door better watch himself.

Grandpa and Luke is his KU gear. I think he is now capable of piecing together an outfit where every piece has a KU logo or Jayhawk. Ironically he tells me he's going to be a KSU Wildcat when he grows up because Cats are real.

Notice the hat? That's the Christmas morning at Grandma's. We received the hat during gift opening the night before. The ball also travels with him.
