On Saturday, Daniel officially turned eleven years old.  It was a busy day that included:

• David’s team, the Rockets, winning a soccer game 3-2.  David played goalkeeper for the first half and scored three goals in the second half.  It was fun to watch.
• Daniel’s team, the Wolverines, winning their soccer game 9-2.  Daniel scored three goals in the first half (the video clip below shows two of them).  His friend Nate had a beautiful goal on a header (plus four other goals).  This was the last of the games before they realign the division of teams.  Since the Wolverines are 5 and 0 with five extremely convincing wins, we believe they will be put in one of the tougher divisions; their games should get more and more interesting.
• Dinner at Lalibela.  Ethiopian food is always a treat, so it was good to go on Daniel’s birthday.  We had a “cake sampler” at dinner.
• Cake on Sunday night in front of the computer – Sarah and Sarita, her exchange student, were on Skype and helped with the singing.  Sary-Jo was out of town Thursday through Sunday morning (look for a post on her California trip), so we celebrated together Sunday night.
