Fotboll

So Germany lost, and Spain won Euro 2008. No big deal for Sammy. He had already given up his shortlived support for the German team. He was wearing his Swedish jersey while watching the final.  And he proudly wore it to the McKinney Lightning end of season soccer party that we attended after the game.

We watched most of the Euro 2008 games. Live during the weekend, and 5 or 6 hours delayed ion weekdays. For interviews, Cruyff's analyses, and gossip, I turned to the NOS website. That's where I found this short movie about Varsseveld, the town where I grew up, and hometown of Russian coach Guus Hiddink.

Confused

Sammy does not know what team to support at Euro 2008. He likes Sweden best, but also Portugal, the Netherlands, and Germany. He has so many favorites, that one of them is likely to win. I don't think it will be Germany though.

The Graduate

Gregory graduated from Wilmeth Elementary today. Tonight we attended the graduation ceremony. Greg received his certificate from his teachers Mrs. Rarden and Mrs. Keener. After a year of hard work, he's looking forward to middle school.
