Basketball Jones

Nikolai has persuaded me to go outside regularly and shoot some hoops now that it is cooler in the afternoon. This one day I took my camera and took several pictures. He is getting to be a pretty good player. We played HORSE this afternoon and guess who won? Not me, that's for sure. I'm actually better then I've ever been at basketball because of these regular practice sessions, I actually make some of my attempts. He has already surpassed me in skill and is only 8. Either he is really good or I'm really bad. He is so good to watch out for Sara as she wanders around the driveway in and out of our dribbling path, and I wonder why she needs a bath every night.
"Ummm, Sara, can I have my ball back please?"
Check out that form!
Yes! One of 6 in a row that he made. Check out Sara looking on in the bottom left corner of the picture.
"Yep, I'm cute."
A proud, proud boy.
