When Sophia’s basketball team began a shooting contest, Avery left the iPad behind and asked if he could join in. The coach said ok.
When he came back, Avery said, “I won.” LOL.

While Sophia practiced, Avery showed me how he’s learning to spin a basketball on a fingertip – a work in progress.Or he practiced his shooting skills!

Meanwhile Gaetano and Avery spun in circles endlessly much to the entertainment of the small crowd:

Thais, Lenin, and brother-in-law Jeff went for a training run in Auburn this morning and I got to stay with Sophia, Avery, and Carson.

About to make a basket:Carson has a few fans, including Gaetano:Carson’s favorite, however, is Grace:

Sophia’s 3rd grade class presented a musical this afternoon – compliments to her teacher for undertaking a project like this! The songs were great and filled with facts.

Roses, White House, and Secret Service

Thais and Lenin went out to dinner tonight with friends. Yay! Grandma gets to babysit.Playing Beyblades with the boys:

Phyllis and I drove to Capitola yesterday to visit with our cousin Sheryl and her husband Pat. Outside the home of Jerry Clarke, a local artist:Many homes in Capitola have one of Jerry’s starfish on the wall near the front door and the only way to buy one is to knock on Jerry’s door.Thank you Sheryl and Pat for your kind hospitality.
