Jordyn's Long Awaited Update

Jordyn is staying very busy this fall with 5th grade, basketball, Girl Scouts, and AWANA. Although she has participated in a couple casual basketball camps, this fall brought her first experience in a basketball league. During their first game, Jordyn scored a basket and she was stunned. She was so stunned that she stopped, looked to the crowd to find us and her eyes were big as saucers and her mouth was hanging open. It was really funny and several other parents came over chuckling after the game. She had a swagger running up and down the court after that basket. The picture below is of Jordyn shooting the first basket. If you look up by the light above the basket, you can see the ball on it's way to the basket. Jordyn is in the silver/black uniform closest to the camera. How lucky that I chose that moment to snap the picture.

Hanging out on the bench waiting for her turn to get back in the game.

Jordyn is pretty aggressive for a first time baller... we've actually had to rein her in a little which is easier than teaching her to be more aggressive on the court. Here she is defending the basket.

Jordyn's team - there are 2 teams of girls in Dilworth/Glyndon - pretty good for a small school district to have 26 5th grade girls interested in playing basketball.

Jordyn at school patrol. She was not impressed when I showed up to take a picture of her.

Jordyn's solo during her first band concert. She has chosen to play the saxophone. She is really enjoying it and I hope she continues. I wish I would continued to pursue piano or flute both of which I stopped playing before I got to high school.
