"To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth"

Vincent, he's 12

Although Vincent turned 12 on March 26th, his party was this past Saturday.
Standard operating procedure: secure futbol field, invite all the boys from his class, make a zillion burgers.
It went well with the exception of one injury.
Balta recovers bravely.
Baltazar took an elbow to the nose. We have word that it was indeed broken. He handled it like a champ and was right back on the field the next day at another party.
Gabriela and Amalia were there to help out.


We cooked burgers on the parrilla and Janine had some great cakes, but the real star was the field. We celebrated at Defensor Sporting our club, where the kids do their sports. The field is large and lit for night playing and as usual they couldn't get enough.

You can hardly talk to Janie when she's working a party.



Can you notice how sweaty some of the kids are?

Fun for all and another one in the books.

Luca's Party 4 Real


A little late, but worth the wait. Luca's 12th birthday party is now officially in books and the word on the street is all good. This was one of the best so far. Vincent has requested the same for his next. Everybody had a good time


































.





The night field, full of friends and more or less 3 hrs. of futbol was just out of control. They ran in a pack for a hamburger break and dissappeared in a cloud of dust minutes later.
It was the same at cake time and they even managed a little play time after that as kids started going home.
The grown ups did well cooking and hanging out. Janine caught here eating. Amalia holding her own. That's Luca in the light blue shirt. Vincent is the matching shirt/shorts, long white sleeve under. Outfitted by Nike (of course).
Enjoy.

Vincent turns 10

Vincent had his 10th birthday this past weekend and the party was a success. One of our usual places was chosen; Wimbledon. They have a large covered field for futbol and another paved court for everything else.
Vincent invited both 4th grade classes and almost everybody came. Add a few friends of Luca and we had quite a crowd.









The teenage 'helpers' were great as usual keeping everybody active and we could hardly clear the place out after three hours of craziness. It was a blast. OK, for me it was a bit less than blasty, but we did watch an important futbol match btw. Uruguay and Paraguay. Uruguay won two, almost three nil and it was a really good game.
