March Madness!

Well, February was a tough month for us health wise (and therefore not many posts) and we are hopeful March will bring us warmer weather and less sickness.  I think at least someone in our house was sick every week during Feb.  Chris and I were sick at the same time and relied on family to help us out.  Thankfully we all live relatively close to each other.  There were a couple of Feb. highlights:  1. I turned  33 (yes I consider it a highlight as I love celebrating birthdays).  2.  Camden turned 6! (I will make that a separate post).  3. Camden's been playing basketball, which has been fun to watch.  Somehow we managed to make it to all of the games.  I have taken lots of pictures but just haven't had the time to share.  He absolutely loved playing and learned a lot about the sport.  And I think Chris had a good time coaching his team.  I have posted more pics in the web albums.

Getting ready for his big game
Shooting over the "trees" (he is typically one of the shortest on the court...I feel for him, I too was one of the shortest on the court for quite sometime).  So glad I brought my camera but sad I didn't bring the video camera because he had his best game of the season with 8 points (4 for 6), 3 assists, and good aggressive defense.  
Great form in the beginning but we need to work on the follow through.  He was so happy when the game was over.  He knew he played well.  He said, "Mom, I made 4 baskets and that is 2,4,6,8...8 points and I almost made 2 more."  And he usually has a pretty good idea of what the score is.  Not bad for a Kindergartner and being in a league where they don't keep score yet. 

 Needless to say, we are ready for March Madness even if our beloved Hoosiers will be MIA once again.
