Babies and Basketball

Our family has a new member, Ian Christopher who arrived early in the morning on January 19th.  He was a week and a day late just like his father.  Who is Ian?    He was named after his Uncle Christopher, who died six years ago.  I feel it is an honor to Chris that Ian was given this name,  it fits him perfectly. 

Although he is only a few days old, and I have only seen him once at this point I feel that he is a precious and beautiful baby boy.  I however, could be a bit biased, (after all he is my grandson).

Today I enjoyed watching my two older grandsons play basketball at the YMCA.  I had forgotten what it was like to be in the gym.  It brought back many memories with our youngest daughter, who now is in college.  My, how time does pass us by! Of course, I couldn't go to a basketball game without cheering from the sidelines.

As a grandparent, I can sit back and observe others with their children.  People watching can be an interesting and fun thing to do sometimes.

Some parents just sit and observe, quiet and motionless, while others get involved on the sidelines and help "coach" their kids throughout the game.

Which one are you?
