Hey...thanks for these. My kids will love them! Also, kudos to you for coaching soccer, something Laurier always loved to do...but Stephen got better than he could deal with as well! Maybe we should go back down under and introduce the boys, I'm sure they'd love to kick around the ol' football.
Are you folks there for a holiday? thought I remembered you saying they were coming.
Still waiting for my Edmonton boys to venture home...
take care,
Beth
