Jack and Cate Update -- February, 2010

Saturday, February 6, 2010

Even Jack's moves have moves.

Not only did it snow in Dallas, we got more than a foot of [*real snow*](http://www.flickr.com/photos/early_days/sets/72157623427317066/) rather than a coating of glare ice. Since I had the foresight to be "on business" in Las Vegas, I missed the initial snowfall (and related power outages). In my absence, all the photo credits go to Lisa!

Dallas received a [record 12.5" of snow](http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/021210dnmetsnowhp.10be86105.html) in a 24-hour period. Crazy.

A tree fell on Lisa's car. It's seen worse.

The aforementioned tree. This was the worst of our damaged trees, but the neighborhood was stacked with tree limbs for weeks to come.

The view from our front lawn looking down the street. Cate loved playing in the snow (see the video), but she grew very concerned that her ski pants "make me look fat."

The park at the end of our street. Our power was out for nearly 24 hours, but it fortuitously came on just as I arrived home from Las Vegas. (Fortuitous for me, but slightly annoying for Lisa.) Even with the fire going full-blast, it was only 53 degrees in the living room when the power returned.

Coach Mike is constantly drilling the team to take shots from near the basket. Here, Jack grooves his jump-shot.

Jack must physically restrain himself to ensure he doesn't have a mid-game kaffeeklatsch with Zac.

For the love of all things good and holy, *give me the ball!*

Jack has the eye of the tiger. And the reflexes of a cat. And I'm running out of feline-inspired similes.

Saturday, February 27, 2010

Normally, Jack was responsible for in-bounding the ball following an opposing score, but Coach Mike had him bring it up court in the last game of the season. The league doesn't allow teams to play defense in the back-court, but you can tell this is serious, serious business. He did great.

Some kids might feel constrained to use their toys in a safe and appropriate manner that befits a Razor Scooter. Jack scoffs at them.

Saturday, February 27, 2010

It's really not an end-of-season basketball team party unless Jack loses all control.

Loses. All. Control.
