Matthew and Basketball

Matthew has been playing basketball this year. He played last year as well and really enjoyed it. Dallan usually takes him to his games while I stay home with Caleb. This weekend Dallan and Josh were on a winter camp with the scouts, and luckily my brother watched over Caleb so I could go!

Matthew was so fun to watch. He isn't super aggressive and doesn't mind that he isn't the star of the team, but this year he had yet to make a basket and he really wanted to! You can imagine my squeals when he made not one basket but two! The smile on his face was priceless. I told him I must be good luck! (wink!)

I am so proud of Matthew, not because just because he got some points, but because he never stopped trying.



I hope he knows I'll always be proud of his efforts, no matter what!

Josh's Science Fair Project: "Flight Patterns"

Question: Which characteristic do you think will help a paper airplane fly the farthest: increased wing length, wing flaps, extra nose weight, or a tail fin? Josh guessed that increased wing length would make the biggest difference. After spending an afternoon in our basement flying airplanes, he figured out that the wing flaps made the biggest difference- and wing length seemed to make the least ammount of difference!

Who knew?
