One sport rolls into the next. Basketball is coming to an end, time for t-ball for Avery.Teaching my grandchildren to check the back seat for their belongings before I leave – the pile of things I found today. Including a piece of chewed gum in a crevice =(

While sitting on the bench:

First came Avery’s basketball practice. Warming up with jumping jacks:Dinner at home afterwards.Dessert at Leah & Jeff’s:Apple pie from Freeport Bakery and Salty Caramel Cupcake Entremet from Ginger Elizabeth.

Score!I probably take 20 pictures of each game, hoping to get one that’s good enough to publish. Today, I had so many good ones of Sophia.

Tuesday, basketball practice for Avery.He made almost every basket he shot!After ukelele on Thursday, Sophia showed me how she’s been reading a book about taking care of cats. She preparing for the day when her parents let her have a pet-sometime before Carson’s 2nd birthday. Which means Thais and Lenin only have 11 months and 2 weeks to figure out how to dissuade her. Good luck.About to wake up after getting home from daycare.Wrestling with Mom while Carter keeps on eye on things.

At St Ignatius, you dress up as your career choice. Avery was a paleontologist and I’m sure his specialty would be finding dinosaur fossils. Sophia was a pop star. She told me a couple of other students came as singers. Just singers actually. A pop star is different. You have to have style and attitude to be a pop star.

After church, there was open house. But first a stop at the cousin Jeffery’s fundraising table – every 8th grader adopts a charity and raises money during the school year. Jeffery’s is the First Tee Program. Avery’s TK classroom.Sophia’s second grade classroom.Sophia’s 8th grade buddy is Desi, who is also a neighbor.

Morning games for Avery and Sophia.The coaches were about to tell Avery and the person he’s guarding that the ball and all the action were at the other end of the court.Lunch time break at home.Afternoon basketball game for Sophia at St Ignatius. Her dad and Uncle Jeff are the coaches.

Tuesday, Avery’s basketball practice.Practicing the bounce pass.Thursday. Usually Avery’s first words to me are, “Grandma, can I have your iPad?” But today, “Grandma, I have homework!” Sophia read the sheet music while she played a song with her teacher Ross.
