G and H had their first YMCA basketball games this week. Grayson seems nervous and uncomfortable, but has a great attitude. Holden was 3-for-4 from the field, two of which were deep 3s, which drew applause from the crowd. It was pretty cool, but he needs to work on passing. Shannan took them to VB for GG’s b-day this weekend. Liam stayed here with me. We went to the farm yesterday to ride the mule and watch the NFL playoffs. The 49rs game was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Bang Bang

The boys got Pokemon cards, a fish and fish tank (Grasyon), a hamster (Holden), and hand-me-down toys (Liam). Dad’s family (David and Fran, Candy, Heather and her family, Amanda and chillins, and eventually Papa Barber and Betty came ’round.
