O futebol estilo brasileiro (Soccer Brazilian style)

Today I went to my first ever high school soccer game! Pedro, the Brazilian boy I placed in Coquille, is a soccer fanatic, and is the star player on Coquille's high school team. There is a German exchange student that is also quite good. (Hurray for the exchangers!)

Pedro is fluent in English and very friendly, and before he arrived we had spent lots of time chatting with him online via MSN Messenger. The kids loved him before they ever met him. When he finally visited our home for the first time, he came with gifts for all of us: t-shirts for Julianne and me, a Brazilian soccer jersey for Caleb, and a cute stuffed flower toy for Elisa.

Julianne and Caleb both wore their shirts from him to the game today and we had a great time watching him play and cheering him on. Marie even cheered in Korean! After the game I just had to get a shot of Caleb and Pedro together. Pedro insisted on teaching Caleb how to pose for a picture Brazilian style.
