Ohtani B-Ball


Ryan and Lia are playing basketball in a Japanese league. Here is a picture of Lia and her team. She's number 22 (as in born on the 22nd of March). Don't let the fact that it is a Japanese league fool you. Only half of her team is part-Japanese. This is the first time that these kids are playing basketball. There are no scores kept, but the team has made 1 basket so far in the whole season. Most of them lack the strength to even shoot the ball high enough to make a basket. (Some of them lack the attention span to know what side their basket is on.) They are having a great time and learning so much. Matthew gets to referee every now and then. I get to yell and scream from the sidelines. It's fun for all!

Aaaargh!!!!



Okay, so I've been trying to update this blog for the past hour, but I couldn't sign in. I guess my memory is not what it used to be. I forgot my username (which turned out to just be my e-mail address). And when I tried to use the blogger function to help me recall it, I was given an old username that was not linked to this blog. Well, finally, I clicked on something else, and it got me here.


Anyway, I wanted to post a some photos of the kids. Ryan is 8 1/2, Lia is 6 1/2, and Cami is 6 months old.
