Madness

March may officially be over but basketball madness is still going strong, at least in the DeBoer house. Every year Matt gets completely into the NCAA tournament. He loves filling out the bracket, picking his upsets, watching the games, listening to the commentary.... And every year his enthusiasm is contagious. He succeeds in getting his class and his family excited about the tournament as well.

This year is particularly fun because Luke is very much into basketball. He points out all the basketball hoops he sees and is constantly pulling on our arms (mostly Matt's) to have us shoot hoops with him.

He is getting better at shooting from a distance and actually has decent form, according to coach dad. He's definitely a lefty, pushing the ball up with his left hand and following through with a snap of his wrist. (not shown in this picture) I have a video of Luke and Matt playing basketball but blogger won't let me upload it, or any other video, for some reason. puzzler.
Studying the bracket and picking his teams. We all filled out a bracket this year - Luke did the best during the first round, picking ALL of the upsets.
I'm pretty sure the basketball madness in March will only get worse as Luke gets older. Heaven help us. :)

We got into the madness in our home, too. Luke probably did better than any of our brackets! Nate's parents both went to Butler, and his grandfather was a dean there, so you know who we'll be rooting for tonight!
