Basketball Begins

Basketball season is here. Yesterday Crandall played the first official games of the season against Canton. Jonathan of course was very excited. He has a new team this year, and they played well, starting off the season with a win. The varsity boys won as well, and the varsity girls put up a good fight, losing by two in a nail-biting finish.

This was also William's (you knew I had to talk about him somewhere) first basketball game. I was a little nervous as we had arranged for some of the parents to watch him while I took photos and he is sometimes a little fussy in the evenings. However, he slept almost the entire time. I was shocked. I also have to say, Jonathan and I are definitely grateful for the community we've found here at Crandall. This is the first time we've been at a school more than one year since we've been married, and the community here is really amazing. There were quite a few parents who were more than willing to help out with William while I was a shutterbug down on the court and it was really nice to know that we had many people we could count on (and trust!) to help us out. Anyhoo, here are a few shots from the games. If you want to see all the photos from yesterday, I should have them up by the end of this weekend at www.emilyalexander.photoreflect.com.
