Mason's basketball greatness!

We had a big night Friday. Mason scored his very first basket in an organized official ballgame, and then he followed it up with a second two-pointer a few minutes later. His team was on fire. They really acted like a team--moving the ball, passing, rebounding, the works. It was such a good game! Of course with all that mojo they won, but that wasn't the best part. The best part was the big smile he got on his face that fueled the rest of his game. He ran, worked, moved with more heart than I've ever seen. It was beautiful. I'd be lying if I denied tearing up when his first basket went in. (I tear up about the babies with regularity.) But seeing that heart--as Drew Barrymore said in Music and Lyrics--was dinner.
