Sports Parent Award

This is NOT a real award, well at least not an official award. Rachel's basketball coach made it up, but we still appreciate it. Rachel has had Cedric for the last two years as her basketball coach and he has been amazing with the girls. This year at the end of the season award ceremony he did something extremely unusual. He called Steve and I down onto the stage. He called us the best sport parents because even though Rachel was injured for a fair amount of the season she still went to all the practices (except when she was at the doctor) and we went to the games. We have always tried to instill in our kids that as a member of the team you always go to practice and to the games, even if you don't get played or for some reason can't play. To our American friends this I'm sure seems normal, however in our international community not all families emphasize sports the same way.
