Saturday Night & the Guys (Luiz, Travis, Zack, & Dylan)
Ping Pong, Foosball, the Little League World Series, Spaghetti, Bagels with Peanut Butter, and then a tour of the town with the guys... Saturday night in Rumford.
Real Multitasking....
During the Red Sox game
on Friday night:
On Skype with Marcelo,
a friend from Brasil, while
chatting with American
Soccer Friends on
Facebook.
Hi Mom & Dad... Look what Rich taught me today in America!

Evening soccer
Kyle the keeper having a bad hair day... after Luiz's first soccer practice. The team discussing a great Wednesday night match vs. Class A Leavitt Area High School. MVHS lost 3-1, but it was a wonderful result for the smaller school with younger players. Congrats, Falcons!
Afternoon...
Luiz speaking with Rich's assistant, Heather (Pumpkin) at the university. And Rich wearing his new favorite soccer team's jersey thanks to Luiz and his family!
A day of visiting and rest and soccer
Luiz has met Aunt Connie & Uncle Ben; he has said hello to our friend Gayle as well as the furry family members Bapu and Minga. He has visited the soccer pitch and the school and the ski area; he has said hello to the school principal Mr Gilbert, teachers and soccer parents Mr. & Mrs. Carver ... and importantly, Coach Dumas. Now, more unpacking, Facebook, Messenger, a nap, and soccer at 5pm.... Red Sox at 7 pm! And we both wonder, Where in the World is Yago?

Bem-vindo, Luiz! Três vivas para o Brasil!
As I write this blog post, Luiz is soaring over Latin America heading toward Florida. He arrives in Portland at 10:05 pm. I have taken down Mr. Obama from our porch and have replaced him with a Brasilian World Cup t-shirt. Now, the beds are made, the refrigerator is full, the house is clean (kind of... well, not really), and many friends, classmates, soccer friends, and second family wait for their new friend-brother-son to arrive. Here's to Luiz's family & friends back home in Brasil. We will care for him as you have through the years.
Welcome, Luiz!
Translation: Enquanto eu escrevo este blog, Luiz está subindo a América Latina posição em direção à Flórida. Ele chega em Portland at 10:05 pm. Eu tenho feito exame para baixo de Obama de nossa varanda e substituiu-o com uma brasileira da Copa do Mundo t-shirt. Agora, as camas são feitas, a geladeira está cheia, a casa está limpa (tipo de ... bem, não realmente), e muitos amigos, colegas, amigos do futebol, segunda família esperam o seu novo amigo-irmão, filho-de chegar.
Aqui é a família de Luiz e amigos de volta para casa no Brasil. Nós vamos cuidar dele como você tem ao longo dos anos.
Bem-vindo, Luiz!

Announcing the birth of Zellie Kent!
Welcome to the world, Zellie! Little does he know that he's landed at the Club Med for dogs!
The Bravest Ship in the Spanish Navy
Yago's dad, Yago, will captain this research vessel to Antarctica in the fall and early winter for 6 months while young Yago is in the United States. This photo is in Antarctica. As the commander said, "She is not the biggest ship in the Spanish Navy, but certainly the bravest!" Fair winds, Yago.
