Our atheletes - This week in sports...

Mateo - He went into Wednesday nights baseball game with a team leading .850 batting average. Who would have thought that it would actually go up?!? He went 5 for 5 and his average is now .880. In 25 at bats this summer, he has gotten on base safely 22 times! Incredible. As our neighbour Brendan (who sees Mateo play sports in the laneway all the time) would say: "Spend! go ahead, spend!".

Noa - After having a sleepover at a friends place on Wednesday night, and a busy day at the pool, Noa had a power nap in the car at around 5PM. We let her sleep and she crammed a hotdog down on the way to the soccer pitch. (sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do). Because the team was short players, Noa ended up playing the full first half and most of the second half. As sweeper, she is the last line of defence before the keeper. Although the team lost, she had her usual stellar game, breaking up play after play and making great passes up to her forwards.

After the game we celebrated with dinner at the New Mee Fung! I had the Curry Duck special (check it out any Thursday lunch or dinner) and Anna had her favourite (#136). The kids had a Mango Shake and split a beef/rice dish and a #133. Too much Chinese tea meant that we couldn't sleep. Oh well...

What a great life!
