We are in changing of seasons right now.
Not winter to spring, though.
In the Maddux household, it's basketball to baseball.
Since December, Charlie and Joseph have been playing basketball at the Y. I personally was dubious, but it's been fun. The Y is very laid back, so it's nice to just play and not worry about standings for while. The boys both did very well, and their whole team (the Heat) really seemed to improve over the season. It was fun to see them start learning to pass and play more as a team.
Charlie was great from the beginning, and was probably the most accomplished player on the team. Joe was a solid defensive player from the start, but his offense really improved toward the end of the season--including one stellar game with several points. (Charlie, I think, scored in every single game.)
They won some, and they lost some, and they even tied some. But they had fun the whole time. (Well, almost. Competitive Charlie got upset after one loss, and some rule-breaking by his opponent, but ultimately he handled things just fine.)
A particularly good game for the Heat. Many points for both Maddux boys at this one.
But now, basketball is over. We've got this week off, and then . . .
it's baseball season again!
Charlie and Joe will play coach pitch and be on the Red Sox again. They've got several returning friends on the team, and are excited to get started.
And Will and Helen are playing t-ball for the first time. They are on the Rattlers, Charlie and Joe's old t-ball team, and what they lack in t-ball skills they make up for in enthusiasm.
Mom and Dad are gearing up for much time spent at the fields. Cort will help coach both teams, and I'll be the Red Sox "Team Mom" (and undoubtedly will help with t-ball too--because a LOT of parents are needed to help with t-ball).
Practices start this weekend, and games start in a little over a month. Here we go . . . play ball!
