Just Hanging Out in January

Evan had a lunch date with mom one day before heading back to school after Christmas break.

Evan got in a little basketball practice at home over the weekend of Jan. 17-18th as the weather was quite nice.

Unfortunately even nice weather doesn't guarantee good health....the cold bug strikes again!

Evan's teacher sent this to Cresia who passed it on to us. Evan had just visited the school store and was enjoying his new funny glasses!

Evan got this in January too! So proud of this kid!

Basketball Begins

 

Evan is participating in the Upward basketball program this year and January 8th was his first practice!  The team lined up and as you can see Evan is WAY taller than the rest of the team!  Evan's coach is Wes Dalton who is someone we have known for years. I hope Evan has a great experience this year and learns some basic skills.

 

Snapped this picture when Evan was just catching a pass. They did several drills that focused on passing, shooting, dribbling, and pivoting.

 

Evan is working on shooting. He is focusing on shooting with his right hand and just guiding the ball with his left rather than pitching it. It takes a lot of concentration. He did manage to make several baskets during practice!

 

The weather is cold but we are hoping to get in several practices before his first game January 24th!

 

 

Ending 2014

Katie and Matt had a "dark dinner" with Evan on New Year's Eve. We used to do "dark dinners" also know as special dinners by candlelight! 

 

Evan tried really hard to stay up till midnight....

 

 

He always plans to stay up late but he does like his sleep....

Happy New Years Evan and Tucker...may 2015 be the best year ever!!
