Love and Basketball
I love that movie, by the way. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.
Anyway, Chuckie is into his basketball season and he is doing okay. Not as well as last year but it is still early on and he has a different coach. One that isn’t as aggressive as last year.
He had a basketball game today and he did well. As time was running out on the clock, he got the ball…he dribbled….he positioned his feet. He was at half court. I thought to myself, oh gosh, he is going to try this shot and miss it….he shouldn’t shoot from that far back. What did I know? He made the shot as the buzzer sounded!! He was so thrilled and proud. I was proud.
I love football and watching him play that was just so fun. Basketball is a little different but just as fun. I look forward to the rest of the season and watching him as he develops his skills.
I have been blessed with an athletic son. It brings back so many memories of watching Chuck in high school when he played football and basketball. Thank goodness those are the two sports that I really understand!!

That is awesome! It has to be a thrill for his dad to see him following in his footsteps!
I hope Oliver and Andrew will play some type of sport… my dad is a football coach, George plays (LOVES) soccer, and I played tennis (plus I grew up playing baseball and basketball with my brother), so they have a good chance it might be at least one of those! I don’t even think they’ll be too embarrassed of me because I actually understand what’s going on! hehe
