Rugby in the rain anyone?

The Big Day!

Matt and Jonah arrived safely to the Gold Coast yesterday for the Australian Little League National Championships! Today they have their first two games. There are 12 teams in the tournament and they are in 4 groups of 3. I will update later about their results!

Everyone is super excited. They looked so professional leaving in their new jackets with "Little League NSW Champions 2009" embroidered on the front.

shot put & javelin??

Jonah qualified to try out for the Knox Track & Field Team to represent the school at the Private Schools State Championships in Shot Put and Javelin. Jonah placed 6th in Shot Put and FIRST PLACE in Javelin (for his year!) Now he will train and try to learn how to actually throw a javelin and hopefully improve his throw. I guess he threw it like a baseball, but hey - it worked!

Basketball Season Finale!

Jonah's team won the premiership - which means they were Best in State! for their level (The schools "B" which means they were the second best team - There were at least 10 teams) Jonah had a great time and scored 4 points - and made both free throws!

The weekend in photos

What a busy weekend with all the big three having sports. We started Saturday morning with T-Ball for Elijah. We vote him "best smile"!
Before Elijah was finished Jonah's basketball game for Knox Grammar School was starting. The team won 32 - 23 and Jonah was the player of the game!
Matt met us at Knox and took Jonah & Elijah to Jonah's baseball game. The team won and Jonah pitched really well.

On Sunday Isabella had a gymnastics competition and had a really great time. Isabella placed 2nd overall and received a beautiful medal. She won the floor exercise and placed 3rd on beam. All her routines were done beautifully and she was a great encouragement to the girls who did make mistakes !
Do you notice anything unusual about this photo of Belle with her team?
