Here he is before the game, posed with Dad!
I wasn't able to make it because the game was at 1, right in the middle of Luke's naptime. Luckily Jack took a quick picture of me before he headed out!
Jack was so excited that he could pick his jersey number. He chose number 45 - the closest number he could pick to Aunt Jackie's high school basketball number - 44! Although I've not seen a game yet, the practices are fun. All these little 6 and 7 year olds, running around the court, most of which have never played basketball and don't know all the rules, no traveling, double dribbling and such! Good times! Luckily Jack knows the coaches and they know him...specifically the hearing loss. I don't talk too often about Jack's hearing loss, but I'm just so thankful that his coaches are so caring and patient because WOW...listening in the gym is TOUGH for Jack, but they make sure that they are using gestures and an extra loud voice when they are talking to him!
Jack's team only scored 1 basket, the other team had 3, but at the end of the game, Jack said he "had a blast!"

Good job Jack, I hope you take your basketball skills from Aunt Jackie and not your Mom. I am so glad that Jack wanted a number close to the number that Aunt the Hacker Jackie wore in High School. You know Jack that Aunt Jackie fouled out of almost all her high school games. At least with the foul the person did not score, they ended up on the floor. Keep up the great job playing sports, and when it get warm Papa Jack will have to take you golfing at the driving range at Uncle Bryan's golf course in Memphis.
Love ya Papa
