Day Forty 2013

VISION BASKETBALL

He dribbles! Grandson Elijah played Vision Basketball today. His team has improved so much. And so has he. He’s had the ball quite a bit lately.

He shoots!

He scores! Elijah got lots of points today.

The blue team beat the green team 20 ~ 8. Way to go!

Granddaughter Shelby, daughter Holly, grandson Elijah, hubby Neil and moi celebrated a game well played at the DQ.

Elijah’s treat: a banana split so big and huge he couldn’t even finish it. We didn’t mind helping out. Yummy good times on a beautiful Saturday in February. Hope your weekend is delicious!

Day Twenty Six 2013

Grandpa’s Saturday morning homemade blueberry waffles with the grandpeeps, Shelby and Elijah.

In my waffle world, there’s no such thing as too many blueberries, but Elijah begs to differ. He picked out a lot of his.

His Vision Basketball team, the Blue Panthers, won their game this afternoon 30 ~ 18. Elijah is on the far right, waiting to see if his shot drops. It did. He got the Team Work award after the game. Both teams played really well.

Tonight we pigged out at Panda Garden for supper. Snapped their picture looking through this cardboard cutout frame the restaurant has set up for Valentine’s pictures.
It was a good day Saturday. Hope yours was, too.

Day Nineteen 2013

Grandson Elijah bounced back from feeling down and out puny yesterday and was able to play with his Vision Basketball team in their double header today. Thanks to his sister Shelby for taking this picture of him just after he made his shot and got another two points for his team. They ended up losing both hard-fought games. Well-played, Elijah! And thank you, Shelby, for letting me use your photo!

Day Five 2013

Vision Basketball ~ Grandson Elijah’s First Game
"Give me the vision to see what God wants me to be. I will do my very best and let God take care of the rest. No matter the outcome of this game, I will give glory to Jesus's name."

They began with a short devotional.

After some initial chaos, all of the players fell into the rhythm of the game.


Elijah is #3




Elijah shoots!

He scores! Nothing but net.

We won!   Each player did very well. This was the first time Elijah has played a basketball game, as I’m sure was the case for most of the players. We had fun watching him play. He had fun playing, even more fun than playing T Ball. I’m looking forward to the next game.
