T Minus 5 Days and Counting...

So, what are we counting down to anyway? I'll give you a couple of hints: it's a sport, requires a hoop, and is played in a gym. Any guesses? BASKETBALL SEASON! I have to say that as we enter into this crazy season, I am equally excited and a little nervous.

Basketball season always brings such a rush to life. We go to games on Tuesdays and Fridays during district. We go to games Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays if there is a tournament...which are numerous during November and December. Tyron is at school later due to later practice times. Don't get me wrong, we love every minute of it. We like to see Tyron in action, and he is so good at his job. He has been promoted to Head Varsity Assistant which couldn't have come at a better time. He now only deals with the Varsity team instead of JV and Varsity. Some day very soon, Tyron will have his very own program. That in itself is exciting.

Basketball season also brings with it a upgraded level of obsession for one little boy. Luke is going to be completely submerged in basketball life once again. Not that he isn't in love with the sport as it is, but the actual season can't be rivaled. There is just something to be said about going to the gym on a cold day to watch a game. It's fun hear the soles of shoes squeaking as the boys run up and down the court, and of course, Luke wants to know why he can't be out there "being defense."

This year brings something unique to the table...the chance that a baby could be born at the end of the season. Now you see why I said that I was a little nervous. As many of you know, our babies tend to be a little anxious to enter the world. With an official due date of March 2, 2008, we have a pretty good possibility of having a early to mid February baby. Nothing like having to interrupt a district game or play off game to have a baby...almost as bad as having a baby in the back seat of a car. Yikes! Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

With all that said, I only have one more thing to add...GO COUGARS! If you are interested in checking out The Colony Cougar Basketball, you can get a schedule and all kinds of stats at www.cougarbasketball.com
