8th Grade Night

We "celebrated" the last home basketball game last week.  It was "8th Grade Night."  I won't lie, it was hard for me.  It was hard to see Zach end his 8th grade season the same way he started it - in street clothes.  He said that he was a little upset as it set in that he had actually missed the entire season.  But, it was a fun celebration nonetheless.  The cheerleaders each had a basketball player for whom they made a poster.  They also made and wore shirts with their player's name and number.
  
Running out at introductions.

 He said this is when it finally sank in that he had missed it all.  But, he was still smiling and laughing with the guys.

The sparkly Paragi 10 shirt.  When Zach first saw it, he asked, "Is that for you to wear or me."  When he found out it was for her to wear, he responded, "Oh!  Well, yea, then that is cool!"
 Zach and his best bud!

On a very positive note, Zach is doing MUCH better.  He has even starting to run on the treadmill in physical therapy.  He ran for one minute the other day and it increases to two minutes this week!
