MVP

This is Matt after his basketball game today. Joy, pure joy.

Matt is currently playing basketball through a city youth league... They started in November and today was their 8th game. Today's game was special, it has the distinction of being the first game Matt scored a basket. He had set a goal for himself to make a basket today, and he did it! But it doesn't end there, oh no... he didn't stop at one basket... he scored 3!

Yep! That's 6 points sportsfans!!!!

We are so proud of Matt! He has worked hard all season, learning new things and improving with each practice and every game. It was so fun to cheer him on & see his excitment!

It was truly a wonderful and memorable day.

Here's how some of the action played out...


The monumental 1st basket... and the "yes!!!" from Matt.



Matt playing some serious defense & the opposing team's coach begging him to forsake the "Gators" and join the "Lions"...

Taking the 3rd successful shot (sorry folks, we missed the second...) and his 'Happy Dance' after!


Yay Matt!!! I love you!
