Basketball pics! As I wrote about in my last entry, Seoul recently had their annual children's homes 3 on 3 basketball tournament. I coached my boys and we won the first game but then lost the second. You can read about it in the previous entry. Enjoy the pics!
Giving my kids a pep talk before their game while kids from other homes warm up
The customary bow and handshake before the game
Jump ball... jump Dae Chul, jump!
Action shot... my kids are in the yellow...
Another action shot
Watching from the sideline with Sang Hoon and Do Hyun
Tense action... as seen by dorm father Dong Min
Encouraging Eun Ho at halftime
Trying to coach the kids using my limited Korean and a lot of hand motions... I think they understood about 40%
Dae Chul at the free throw line... he made this
Another action shot
Group shot at the end... left to the right: Dae Chul, Dong Min dorm father, Myung Mook, me, Sang Hoon, Eun Ho, and Do Hyun
Another pic of the boys... my friend Roy is in this picture, he volunteers at another home and came out to both support my kids and also his kids who were playing in other tournaments (girls kickball and girls basketball)... Roy took all the above pictures for me... thanks Roy! Oh, and in this pic you can see the real height of my boys. Yes, we had a height disadvantage, but its all good, we at least had a speed advantage. =)
Bonus pics... here is Hae Hyun with a gift from a prayer supporter... her hair is finally starting to grow back out after her long bout with liver cancer. We hope she will return to school by the end of October

God bless!

no, i'm sure the boys understood at least 45% of what you were saying. haha. it was good, John-Michael. my favorite was you telling them to do "yun gee" for the shot/pump fake. i can't think of a better translation myself.
but what's up with saying none of your boys were over 5'3"? a couple of them are taller than me, and I'm taller than 5'3"!
