Sean wrapped up the basketball season today with an appearance in the 2009 Boys and Girls Club all star game. He worked hard all season long, and the fruits of his labor really shined today.
Here is Sean filling the wing on the fast break.
Here is Sean playing defense. He had the task of guarding one of the leading scorers in the league. He did a great job.
Sean will have a few weeks off before he dons his basball glove and starts Little League baseball.
Another all star in the family is Stephanie. This past week she finally reached a goal that she has been working toward for quite some time. Her hair was finally long enough to donate to “Wigs 4 Kids”, an organization that you can donate your hair to for the purpose of making wigs for cancer victims. She has had some close friends and co-workers that have lost their battles with cancer in recent years.
Here is her new hair “do” after the donation.
Our all star Cub Scout in the family is Nathan. He has been working really hard and has nearly completed everything that he needs to do to earn the Wolf Badge.
This afternoon he worked toward that badge by spending some time in the park behind our house cleaning up the trash left behind from the windy and snowy winter.
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention one more all star in the family, and that is “Coach Steve”. Steve has worked hard with Boys and Girls Club 3/4 grade ”Team Black”, spending just about every Tuesday and Thursday evening, and Saturday morning with them since November. And they came so far! Above he directs the kids on a play.
At the end of the last practice, Steve treated each of the kids to a bottle of Gatorade, and then distributed special award certificates customized with a quality that they exhibited throughout the season. In the photo above, Steve explains why each player received his/her award. Each award had a quality such as “Hustle”, “Perserverance”, “Positive Attitude”, “Most Improved”, and for Sean: the “Dedication” Award. This ceremony was a great way to wrap up the season and we are all proud of our favorite coach.
Congratulations to the whole Geneva H. family. Great, great job to all and we love you all so very much!!
You guys are the best. Seriously- you are learning to be great young men. I am very proud of you.
Stephanie your hair looks great. I have always wanted to donate too but I just don’t know how to “wear” my hair in a mid-length cut. When I got it cut short I didn’t even think of donation at the time I was too overwhelmed with the whole thing. Shorter for me is actually more work! You look great. I am going to do this with the girls someday! Maybe all 4 at once!!
