Lil' Baller

Luke has been playing Upward Basketball at our church and he loves it! He is by far one of the smallest ones out there, the league is K to 2nd grade. It amazes me how quickly he picks up sports. He's just like his Uncle Thaddeus---let's all start praying now he stays away from rugby...(right Jackie? :)

Here's some cute pics. The kiddos wear colored bands to know who they are guarding:

Luke getting some defensive instruction from his Daddy at the half:

Luke taking those instructions to the court---look at that! D-Fence!! Everybody cheer! D-Fence!!

You can barely make out Luke's head here (they're in blue obviously), this was his shot. Pretty good!

I am so proud of him. He LOVES being part of a team. Luke always cheers for his teammates and encourages everyone--even the other team. This attitude is being fostered by the Upward sports program. Thank you to those who started it. Love you!

One more thing---Ms. Kelly---his team is none other then the Penguins!!! :)
