Wetness

So, I guess the Chiefs weren't quite ready for the final. I'll leave it at that. I had a big night out that night and woke up with a massive hangover. I was supposed to play basketball that afternoon, but I could barely move! In the end, I managed to drag myself to the game, feeling very dodgy indeed. Somehow, I managed to play the best game of my life, scoring about 30 points (I lost count and didn't check the scoresheet) including six or seven 3-pointers! It cured my hangover, but I suffered a slight concussion at the end of the game, so I still had a headache after the game! (Don't worry Mum, I'm fine now :)

It's rainy season again. But we've had heaps of nice days too and have been keeping busy every weekend. Last weekend we went to Ryo's and Nagi's sportsday, and Liam's sportsday. Both days were good fun, we ate good food and all the kids did well.

Today is my first Father's Day! We had a special event at my school for all the dads yesterday, and Joshua was a big star among all the kids. They were so excited to see him and were surprised how big he's gotten since they last saw him in March.

It's usually this time of year that we go to Okinawa for a summer break, but Joshua's too small to take there now, so we won't be able to enjoy the beach this year. Bit gutted about that, but maybe we'll take an extra long holiday sometime later when he's ready to travel.

Joshua has now started eating food - mushy rice and mushy carrot. He really loves eating so I'm looking forward to seeing what foods he likes and doesn't like. He's also getting good at moving on his belly, but can only go round in circles - no forward or back movement yet.
