Joueur means player

All good things must come to an end, and we celebrated the end of the soccer season with the traditional high school sports banquet.  It as great to see Abel hanging out with all of the great soccer teammates that he has met over the past two months.  I know that his transition to living in the U.S. has been easier because of these awesome kids.

We were also so proud when he was voted not only "Best Shot" for the season on the Varsity Team, but also Most Valuable Player.  He got also got the letter for his "letterman's jacket" -- who knows if he is going to buy one yet, but he has the letter nonetheless.

He tells us that he is going to try out for lacrosse in the spring.  Given he hasn't ever played lacrosse, we had to give him the warning that we might not be the superfans that we were for soccer.
