Basketball Withdraw

When we were getting ready for this trip Noah badly wanted for us to pack a basketball so he could use it and at least dribble around at times. We were pretty tight for space and there wouldn’t really be any spot to use it while we were staying in hotels and other rentals soContinue reading “Basketball Withdraw”

Childhood Excitement

Last night I had a bit of a strange dream. In it, I was a young child again, probably about Noah’s age 9-10, and I randomly ran into and was able to meet Fred VanVleet. For those of you who don’t know Fred VanVleet is a basketball player for the Toronto Raptors, and someone IContinue reading “Childhood Excitement”

Proud Dad / Coach

This weekend has caused me to fill with pride, not because anything I’ve done, but because the effort and growth Noah and his whole basketball team has made this year. Last year I had told the coach of the Little Dunkers group Noah was in that I’d be happy to help out with anything IContinue reading “Proud Dad / Coach”

Hour of Code

This morning I was able to spend a bit of time with Noah in his class. They were participating in the Hour of Code. It was really neat seeing all the kids with Chromebooks working away.

He choose to paint his own this year, it has the first coat only so far, so not ready to share. For a while I’ve wanted to try this kindContinue reading “Automattic Pumpkin”

My dancing daughters are heading out to their last dance competition of the season. Last one I missed as I was traveling with work so was really looking forward to our weekend away and getting to see them dance again. Plans changed quickly this morning when Noah woke up really early not feeling well. WeContinue reading “Feeling Bummed”

Noah and Daddy Time

The past few days Noah and I have been able to spend quite a bit of time together. We started the weekend out with Saturday morning basketball.

Wintery Wet Basketball

We were looking for something to do today that would get is outside. The temperatures were above freezing, even if just barely, so we wanted to take advantage. We talked about going for a walk, or to a playground, but Noah decided he wanted to play basketball. We didn’t know what the court would beContinue reading “Wintery Wet Basketball”
