Well it is Saturday and we have had our first official game of soccer. Love the official jersey with his name - makes him important even before he takes the field. WE lost 7-0. A big loss - the other team was amazing. A bit worried about the fact that Luke is playing in the Under 11s (and he is 9) and that he is playing in Division 2 (the 2nd highest division). I think that we are going to experience a few losses. I don't mind that as I think that kids need to know how to lose gracefully. It doesn't seem to matter - Luke still had a great time. He was the Team Captain today. A job that he took very seriously!!! I am ever so proud of him. He led the troops out and picked them up when they fell down. I have a sore throat from yelling words of encouragement. It was an early morning start. Wasn't too bad today as it was a warm day. Don't know if I am going to enjoy those cold mornings. Enjoyed my first morning of being a soccer mum. Hmm not sure about soccer as being a sport that is easy to photograph!!! Not sure how many scrapbooking moments will come out of this.
Signing off - Soccer Mum

Hey rell and family. I'm glad that Luke loves soccer. What is Ben doing? Is he back to gymnastics. Thanks for the wishes for Harrison. I read my e-mails and I miss you guys so much. It is really very hard to be so far away. I don't think that even David realised how hard it would be but I think he has a few regrets. Hopefully we will be there for a few weeks at the end of june into July for the school holidays. I know that is the busiest time for everyone but hopefully we will get out. I need some good chinese food. All the best.
