and the winner is...

What a surprising evening we just had. 
We attended an awards banquet for all those who had participated in sports throughout the year. We were unaware that Baker would be receiving TWO very special awards.

He received an award for most improved in basketball.  His coach said that the recipient of this award was one who surprised him.  This player did not start off in the starting line up and in the fist game he put him in with only 10 minutes left.  They were down by quite a bit and once this player went in, he was a "mad man".  Baker ended up scoring over 12 points in 9 minutes and led their team to the win....and started in the rest of the games :D
He also won the award for best sportsman ship.  They announced that the winner  was a constant example not only to his team mates, but the opposing team and his coaches.  As parents, we are never surprised at the example Baker is to our family.  We are blessed to have him in our home and grateful for the example he is and all that he stands for.

Congratulations Baker-man!!  We love you!!!
