Basketball Debut

Grace is wearing #1, while Lauren sports #2

Have I mentioned that Grace and Lauren are playing basketball? Grace wanted to play last year, and we postponed because committing to practice during the month of December is a challenge, particularly when Skip signed on as coach. So Grace wanted to sign up, and Lauren wanted to cheer. Skip talked her into playing basketball instead, and she has loved it. Grace makes a lot of baskets, and Lauren is a proficient rebounder. Plus, Lauren's deer-like run makes her difficult to cover. We have played two games, and we are 1-1 so far. The girls league is small... really small... as in there are only two teams, making the weekly match-ups likely to become a heated rivalry*.

*Totally just kidding.
