A Weekend Full of Basketball, Family, and Joy
This past weekend was one of those beautiful, full-hearted weekends that reminds me just how much I love watching my kids do what they love.
Jessica was here in southern Alberta playing basketball, and it all kicked off with a Friday night game in Calgary. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to attend. There’s something special about sitting in the stands, hearing the squeak of shoes on the court, and knowing that one of those athletes out there is your own child. Watching Jessica play—focused, determined, and confident—was such a gift.
The excitement continued as she played again in Lethbridge at the college. What made this game even more meaningful was the crowd. Most of our family, along with some extended family, came out to support her. Seeing so many familiar faces in the stands, all cheering her on, made the whole experience feel extra special. Jessica got some good minutes on the floor, and it was pure joy to watch her compete, hustle, and give it her all.
At the same time Jessica was battling it out against the Kodiaks, Sam was busy on the court too—playing in the alumni tournament. Watching him and his friends suit up and play together again was such a treat. There’s something nostalgic and energizing about seeing those connections rekindled through the game they love. Even better, their team took FIRST place in the beloved annual tournament! Sam had a great first game and played well throughout the rest, and it was impossible not to feel proud.
