Sometimes I run out of ideas on how to title these blog posts, because in a way our years seem to repeat with similar events. When I think, "How is it already the end of March? Where did the first 3 months of 2014 go?" These are the words that came to mind for a quick . . . no, probably long recap: Birthdays, Basketball, Dance, & Snow.
Birthdays:
Ethan and Alaina celebrated their birthday parties together this year! With Ethan turning 10 and Alaina turning 3, I never really thought we'd be able to have a party together easily, since they are 7 years apart and boy and girl. But we found the perfect place for a combined party. An indoor roller skating rink that also has an indoor playground for the younger kids. Alaina invited some of her little dance friends too, but she also is good friends with all the neighborhood friends who are closer to Ethan in age. She's kind of the neighborhood little sis'. I think they both had a fun time roller skating and playing with their friends.
Basketball:
Both boys played Upward basketball again this year, 2nd year for both of them. Last year they were on the same team, which was nice, but this year Ethan was on older team, 4th - 6th graders, and Caleb on a 1st - 3rd grade team. Ethan's team was the "Heat" and they won every game this season! He learned so much, played the full court, and had great coaches and teammates.
