A New Chapter in Life.

It's January and that means BASKETBALL. What does that mean to me? Well, I love sports but I'm not a big spectator if I am in control of the remote.  Buuuutttttttt...Parker is at the age where he can play in sports now. Biddy Basketball is in session and my baby boy is learning the rules of the game. It is so surreal to bring him to practice. It seems like yesterday I was his age attending my first t-ball practice. It is a whole new experience for me to be in a different role. As a single, first time mom it was a very strange feeling walking into practice with Parker without the slightest clue what to do.  I was extremely nervous and had only my memories from my youth to go off of. I can hardly describe the feeling of switching the roles. However, just as with everything else in our lives, the two of us move forward. Every new experience is a great adventure. Fail or succeed the journey is always worth it. There is always a lesson on values in every season of our lives. The challenge for me is to make sure this adventure will be profoundly educational on every level. I hope that he will get every ounce of knowledge out of it. We are very excited to start this new adventure! Let the learning begin.
