Pictures

I don't take nearly as many as I used to. My camera, it's awful. That's why. I really should buy a decent one. Someday, I will.
When JOTS & C don't appear on her computer screen the kids' grandma scolds their mother. So here is a rundown of the latest bad photos.....
Gorgeous Jayla in a one-of-a-kind, hand picked ensemble.

Grandpa and nana came over one night for a (loud and not relaxing at all) birthday dinner and oodles of handmade cards. They smile anyway because they love the loud ones.
It would appear I should also buy new jeans for Onyx. I'll get right to that. As soon as I go camera shopping ☺
Best friends/arch rivals: this brother and sister. I am for both sides. Go team cuteness!
Putting on a "Premiere" for us one evening.
Agh! Interference.
The show must go on.
Captive audience/Best seat in the house
Mrs. Natarajan sharing a lesson about Hinduism one afternoon. I adore this lady.
Upward Basketball at our church: J & O are participating. The lovely (and brave) Keisha who will be caring for young Deutschlets while their parents are away fitting O for his jersey.
Ready to hoop.
Skill evaluation.
Otherwise known as event in which kids are given the opportunity to display their mad basketball talent, (or lack thereof) and no matter how far from the backboard the airballs are thrown, or how many times the ball bounces off the bottom of the rim to hit the teenaged assistant in the head, the bystanders and coaches repeatedly shout in a completely believable, highly enthusiastic tone "great job" and "way to go" to encourage the children.
I could not stop smiling (partly because it was super funny) and also because it was heartwarming to hear them hollar out for my boy and girl ♥
Hey, that's unusual. This picture is blurry! I still like it.
Go Jayla Go!
