"a portrait of each of my children, once each week, in 2016"

Jaden: Team shirts are in, uniforms are in, and football season is officially over. Which means we are in full-blown basketball mode over here. Our little center got to go to a party on Friday night with his entire basketball team. His teammate Jaydon turned nine, and his parents set up a trailer of sorts at their house that was full of TV's, different video game systems - and a disco ball. The kids gamed together while indulging in lots of pizza and candy - and then beat up on each other two days later during Sunday's practice. ;) Less than two weeks until their first tournament. Never a dull moment!

Brandon: This little one is suddenly obsessed with the Star Wars game on our PS4. We've had the game system for almost a year without him even touching it, and now he is all about playing Darth Vader and shooting all the rebels! Much to Jaden's disappointment - he sure liked having it all to himself and isn't quite sure how to handle the new competition. ;)
