Today was a big day in the Midget household.

My older son beat out a bunch of older kids to make the regional jazz and concert bands. He was the only kid in his grade to accomplish that feat.

My younger son had his first regular season basketball team today, and we won by one against a pretty tough team who beat us last year. My son had a huge game, scoring half of his team's points and getting twelve steals and ten rebounds. The other team was doing everything they could to stop him, but he almost singlehandedly dismantled them. We played in our home gym, and all of his friends from the younger and older age groups were watching. They went crazy when he stole the ball with 10 seconds left to seal the victory. What a fun game.

Did your son open his mail and drink coffee?

Yeah...I switched from the Villanova 1-2-2 to a 1-3-1 back to man and it's been fun. Two more wins for the kids and they earn the trophy...

Five years ago today my wife decided to marry me. I am lucky and grateful. Bless her.

Another dominant performance by my kid tonight. We were down three starters due to illness, but it didn't matter. The opposing team couldn't score when my kid was on the court, and that was that. We silenced a rowdy gym, beat another team that defeated us last year, and walked out 2-0 with an early-season showdown against the defending division champion tomorrow morning.

Finish was the word of the week and the lads did. A bucket away from run-clocking the coach who told me last year when his team beat us in the championship that winning the semi was my championship. Undefeated and first championship in boys basketball for us since we moved into the current building.

I know you’re jesting Nas, but they were genuinely happy when I met them.

Congrats to our duo of budding Bobby Knight's!!

Unfortunately, our undermanned squad lost a close game to our talented and very well coached opponent last weekend. We had no subs and hung in there until the end of the game, but the kids ultimately got worn down by the opposing team's patient ball movement and disciplined zone defense.

The outlook for this weekend continues to be uncertain. We still have some sick kids, and our second-best player missed practice last night after being suspended from school for disciplinary reasons. My son is very good friends with this child, so I have known him for several years. He is a sweet boy who gravitated to my son from an early age, but he has always had a mercurial temperament, and his recent behavior has been increasingly erratic. Like other parents in our community, I am growing concerned over what the future holds for him.

On the bright side, my son has continued to play at a high level and has shown a knack for making big plays at key moments. Several parents and coaches have commented to me that they love to watch him on the court because he plays so hard and so smart. Needless to say, I am a very proud dad.

You guys will be glad to know I just got in my Knight Bobble head that includes the white stripe shirt and a chair

Yesterday Mrs. Post walked into the home office where I was working and asked me to come upstairs to talk about something. I could tell it wasn’t run of the mill stuff, but figured our oldest son Two Post (8) said or asked something that was a difficult proposition. When I went upstairs Mrs. Post showed me a pregnancy test.

I have always wanted a third child, Mrs. Post wanted just the two we had (Three Post is 6). She pulls a bit more weight in that decision so I accepted we would have two great kids. I have a blessed, wonderful and fulfilling life in every way, family foremost. I never would have had serious regrets about having only two kids, but would have always though a third would have been icing on the cake. Since shortly after the birth of Three Post we have used, more or less, impenetrable birth control so it never crossed my mind we would have a third kid because Mrs. Post has always made her feelings known when I have broached the subject.

We have a long way to go and at this point the outcome is more likely to end in disappointment due to age and some other issues, but yesterday was and probably forever will be the happiest day of my life. We obviously can’t tell anyone IRL anytime soon, but I had to tell someone.

At 11:06 AM today Three Post entered the world. By all indications she is completely healthy. The other two Post children are excited to have a little sister and already got to hold her in the hospital. Mrs. Post did great and is resting well.

Dad Post is probably the happiest human on the planet today.
