This is Drew doing what he loves best, shooting hoops. We have mentioned this before, but Drew spends at least an hour everyday on his basketball court dreaming of epic games. After we got the new hoop, we never had a real basketball. But, we did have a very nice kids size soccer ball that worked great. It bounced well, was the perfect size, it was not too heavy, and it was soft. But, soccer balls are not made to be used as basketballs, especially not for hours on end. Therefore, the soccer ball has slowly deteriorated. First, the plastic came off the outside, then the inside foam part start crumbling, then a crack formed, and now it is barely holding itself together. I told Drew that I wanted to take a picture of the po' boy with ragged ball to engender sympathy. But, the best part of the story is that he doesnt even really know that he deserves any sympathy or that he has a trashy basketball and seems mostly content tossing his rag ball into the basket.

love it. zero sense of entitlement is so refreshing :)
Good form!
I think he would do about as good taking on his older cousins as his Dad would his older brother!
Unfortunately neither of us got the sports gene. They do enjoy sports though and appear to do pretty well, until others join in! :)
Isn't there a bible verse about:
"He who has little, has much" or
"Godliness with contentment brings great gain"
He is a good example and reminder to all of us.

What is with the big words of recent! Rather ostentatious, don't you think? "Latent" in the previous post and "engender" in this post! I have no idea what either of those mean! I will have to study my thesaurus next time we have our Galesburg get-together :)
His facial expression is so cute. He looks like he could be on a Nike ad or something :) It's refreshing to see his contentment!!
