Benjamin's first, well second, basketball game

His first game was actually last week, but I missed it because I was up in Johnson City helping Amanda with her wedding preparations. He plays Upward Basketball and score isn't technically kept, but Elijah kept track and they have won both of their games. I watched the video of him playing last week and he already has improved his blocking and rebounds. He picks sports up very easily if the sport interests him. Here he is blocking a kid half his size, but just about all the 6 year olds are:

I don't have my old programs on this computer yet because I'm not sure which ones keep causing the computer to crash, so right now I'm not able to edit any pics. It probably doesn't bug anyone but me. Here is Benjamin when he stole the ball and was taking back down to his side of the court. Not much happened, he tripped over his own feet trying to go too fast and the ball went out of bounds:

Here is where he caught a rebound and was on his way down to his side of the court. He actually did a great job controlling the ball, I think he even passed it to another kid on his team:

I got distracted during most of the game by Avery. They have small bleachers set up for the 'fans' and she was climbing all over them (as she always does) and we were telling her (as we always are) to be careful before she falls. Well, this time she fell. She's fine, but made enough of a stink that I had to take her out of the gym for a while. After that she wouldn't get off my hip. This picture of her was actually taken before she fell, she was just upset because they had run out of Chick fil A biscuits before we got there and she was pouting. Elijah was helping her to come up with a smile. She ended up looking like the Joker.
