Meet the newest basketball star...Gavin!

I don't know if I have mentioned in past posts how much Gavin has been dying to play organized sports. He wanted to play Fall soccer, but by the time I got my act together and called, I was not only late but they were competely filled up :( It was killing me because EVERY night in his prayers he would tell Heavenly Father how excited he was for soccer. I finally broke it to him that we couldn't get him in and I told him I would be the FIRST in line for Spring soccer. Well then I found out about Winter basketball! Last night was Gavin's first practice and it was awesome! Gavin was so excited and took it very seriously. He was very attentive when his coach was talking and he is catching on to dribbling and shooting very well. We went and splurged and bought him some basketball shoes. I didn't feel a bit bad about it because the kid never gets new anything...everything is hand-me-downs! He felt like a super star in his new shoes :) It's going to be a fun season! I'm sure there will be many more posts and pictures





This is when Gavin had to stand and introduce himself to his team
