I know it's been a little while since I've provided any updates here. That should not in any way indicate a lack of activity here at Baker Monkey central. Quite the opposite, actually. We have been extremely busy.
Josh is a basketball player now. If it seems to you like early February is a little late to be starting basketball, you are absolutely correct. While I have always striven to be a very loving and involved parent, I have never been considered to be an organized and "together" one. A few months ago I totally flaked out on getting Josh signed up on time for the basketball league he was going to be playing in. Fortunately the local Y has a second basketball session for the children of parents like me.
While that is a very good thing, they also appear to have coached that are even flakier than me. You don't believe that's possible? Josh's entire coaching staff quit just before the first practice! We went to the gym where the practice was supposed to be. We arrived early (in our sporting experience thus far "on time" is "late") and waited. And waited...
Fifteen minutes and about five phone calls later (to make sure we were in the right place at the right time) a coach for Josh's team arrived. He explained that he had just found out that he was needed to coach the team because the other coaches had decided not to coach this season after all. He is a soccer coach with the Y and has never coached basketball before, and could therefor really use some help.
To make a long story short, I am now a basketball coach.
This could be very interesting.
In other Baker Monkey news:
There's actual snow on the ground. The Monkeys got to go skiing today, and will also be doing a fair amount of snow playing over the weekend. Last weekend we went to Adam's (the Baker Monkeys' cousin) and had a marvelous time. Caleb received an awe-inspiring black eye to go along with his scar and missing tooth. Pictures of all of these events and more will be posted as soon as I have both the time and the inclination.
