Hi Rosalyn

Samuele logged on to his emails last night at home so I was able to read your email last night. We picked up Antonio and Samuele up from Palmerston North at Manaia's game unforturnately we could only stay to watch half of his game, but at least we saw Manaia get a try in the first half. Manaia's team were winning when we left but I don't know what the final ...oh by the way Whitiaua Black (Hona Black's) brother was playing in the same team...it was great to see him too. Then we travelled home to Wellington via Levin to dropped Antonio off with Caleb, Sage and Caleb's dad - Jeffery.

We took Samuele for a drive through Wellington last night to pick up Kotuku from work, then had a game of pool and then we went out for tea at a Chinese Restaurant in Johnsonville. The same place that we took Guliamo and Leander on Leander's birthday when they were here 2 years ago.

Yesterday Stefano, Antonio and Samuele talked about all the activities they did with you...kayaking, riding on luge...according to the boys Stefano beat them in all their races on the luge.

I'm not sure what the Matuku and Samuele are going to do today, I'm hoping that Matuku will bring him into town for a walk...otherwise I'll take them out tonight after work. We can take him to the Victoria Lookout point, the Botanical Gardens via the Cable Car and they have been talking about going swimming at the local pool today and or tomorrow.

Wednesday Caleb's family will drop Caleb and Antonio off with me and then I'll take them through to Otaki to Manaia's whanau at Tanui Marae. Thanks to Manaia's whanau they are going to help to prepare and cook a hangi and then later than night we'll have dinner together, all 3 families...Lerm's, Osborne's and the Tamaki's. Just like the families it Italy this will be the first time that our 3 families will be together and give us an opportunity to get to know each other.

Thursday the boys will come back to Wellington and then we will take them to the Te Papa and maybe have lunch on the waterfront....there are no plans for Friday or the weekend but I'm sure something will develop.
