Upward basketball

It's another year of Upward Basketball and, boy, do we just keep loving it!

Right in the midst of the winter season when it's hard to find opportunities for kids to run around and be active, they get to play basketball with friends twice a week right at our local church. It's a pretty sweet deal!

The three oldest kids are all playing again. This is Gabriel's seventh and final year, Jackson's fourth year, and Bronwyn's third year. Bronwyn has surprised me in the past twelve months by showing a good amount of athleticism after years of being less than interested.

The little girls still weren't interested. They'd rather color pictures in the bleachers. But who knows? Maybe one or both of them will pull a Bronwyn and suddenly come out of the woodwork with this stuff!

We're so thankful for all the volunteered investment so many make to put Upward together. The kids have great coaches who love them and fear God. They foster an environment of encouragement and healthy perspective.

And, of course, it's a great time each week to see people we love and spend time together!

The Paladins are big fans of Upward Basketball!
