Monday was another busy day. After a quick breakfast and the Holland/Slovakia World Cup game, Janna, Andoni and the girls headed out for my grandmother's (Mama) house. She is 91, has two broken hips (healing), and lives on her own nearby. The visit lasted about an hour. Mama was thrilled to have the company.
Then they went to Target to get Andoni a charger for his PSP. Quinn and Gillian took the opportunity to get some accessories for their Nintendos.
Then a quick lunch before a visit to my office. It is always nice to have visitors at work. With the addition of Andoni, we made the rounds and met all the people. Collen, my secretary, showed us pictures of her son's house that was hit by a tornado last Friday night (remember the storm?).
The girls then headed off to play Putt Putt (or mini-golf). Andoni caught right on and despite the fact that Gillian kept swinging her putter like it was a driver, most made it through all 18 holes (Janna and Shelby had to make an emergency run to the bathroom for a 5 year old potty break).
After a dinner of pesto pasta with chicken (rice noodles for Andoni), we headed out for our Monday soccer madness. Quinn had practice and Aubrey had a game. While Aubrey was prepping for her game, Andoni, Gillian and I (and occationally Shelby) kicked the soccer ball around. Andoni and I then juggled the ball together. I actually taught him a juggling trick! Didn't think it was possible. He is better than me at juggling the soccer ball, but this 38 year old body has some magic left in it. I had a great time. We then watched Aubrey's game (which started at 8:30pm). Andoni laughed at the 7 year old girls running around like a swarm of bees around the soccer ball. Aubrey had a goal and missed three breakaways. Interstingly, Andoni said that not many girls play soccer in the Basque Country. Well, we can't say the same here. Tonight Quinn, Gillian and Shelby all have games. It will be a busy one.
