Yesterday it finally came for the Boys U11 soccer team that Eddy coaches. We won the first on the season (2x1) and specially on the "house" of the undefeated team of the season.
First we had the girls played. Jess led the team greatly but, with our goal keeper kicking the ball to their striker, the goal was inevitable. The girls ran until the end but could not put the ball on the net.
The boys, after arriving at the school and being called losers by the other team and students, set together and we talked. I told them that I was tired of being called that and I just wanted the win. Play hard but play fair!! Two minutes before the game started I got one of our player and asked him to guard their best player: "don't worry about the ball or the game, he is not playing today!" and it did worked. Our two rotating guards did a great job! On the half time we were wining by one goal that their defense player kicked in by mistake. They tied the game right at the beginning of the second half and I told them, keep going guys!! At 7 minutes, our mid fielder kicked at the goal, the ball touched the defender and went slowly between the keeper's lags, the ball didn't even touched the net, it was really sow. The team and the parents went "nuts". 13 minutes to go, screams from the fans and coach: "Go Cros, STOP THEM" and it did worked out!! Our first win after the whistle blew felt like a dream.. players on the ground celebrating like the "World Cup winners", parents smiling and my heart so happy.
With some sorrows form the other team we shook hands and told the other team that they did a great job.
About here, things are pretty hot about the Government situation. Was ready announced on the news that on March 4th it will be announce the decision for the future of the President. The Brazilian Embassy highly recommended to us to leave this week yet and just wait outside for whats is going to happen at this Country. We decided in not leaving because of costs and all of the teachers of the school are staying too. We have some food stocked and we will make sure that we have enough for at least a week. We hope the power don't get cut because during the day is already getting pretty hot (102F today). Next week is our spring break and if the things are calm, we are planning in going East to see what we are called for!!

I'm so excited for both of you that You're expecting a BABY! I knew it wouldn't be long. Now you have to update us with belly pictures every couple of weeks. I'm even amazed at how much I've grown and how it just sneaks up on you. You'll be beautiful and such fun, great parents!
Who'd a thunk it we'd be having babies the same year? Ours happened right away too, as soon as I decided, "Okay God, you've given me a house, I guess I'll leave it up to you for kids." And boom, the next month we were pregnant. We're just fertile-mertiles Jess.
