One last event.....well 2 really!

Before things really settled down - or got started depending on who you are - we had the start of basketball for Chase and lunch for Nana’s birthday. Chase started his basketball career through the YMCA with some kids he played soccer with and boy what fun he is having. This is from the first day where they spent most of the time working on basic skills like dribbling and passing because most of the kids already like to shoot.

He plays at a local elementary school gym so I don’t have access to the nursery for the triplets. Makes things interesting but there are older sisters of some of the boys he plays with who are MORE THAN HAPPY to entertain the triplets. Thanks girls!

Posing for Mom in my new basketball sweatshirt

The little boys all got the same sweatshirt and mini-basketballs for Christmas so of course we had to take them with us!

Another pose for Mom

Anthony's turn

Jack wanted to play with Chase so he grabbed his balls (yes, 2 of them) and followed along

Since it was an elementary school gym, there were other things for the little boys to play with as the girls helped entertain them

Dribble and shoot

Waiting instructions from Coach Tim with Tyler (Tim's son)

What you can't really see are the polyspots (rubber circles) placed on the floor to show the kids exactly where to stand....PE teachers use these ALL THE TIME at this age!

After basketball it was so pretty that we got to go outside and play - it was wonderful for all of us!

The next day we drove to Winston to eat lunch with Nana, Uncle Marc, Aunt B and Milo to celebrate Nana’s birthday and exchange Christmas gifts with Marc, Sabrina and Milo.

We love our chairs!

Then we came home and Mom started her process of gathering items for the big adventure!
