Friday night, Deniss and I spent the night in Duluth before the Atlanta Cup started on Saturday. His first game was at 8AM. Deniss talked non-stop the whole way up there. We covered a lot of topics, including people getting sent to Siberia from Latvia and the Holocaust.

His team lost both games on Saturday but he was really excited that they were playing better as a team. The boys are a hodgepodge group of 14 and 15 year olds from different soccer clubs, so it took a little while for them to become a real team. They won their game on Sunday.

Between games on Saturday, first I made Deniss go to a scrapbook store with me. Believe it or not, he had a little fun with that. Then we went to the Mall of Georgia. He had never been in a large mall before. We bought some new soccer cleats for Deniss and some new shoes for me. We had a lot of fun just being together. Again, Deniss did a LOT of talking.

Ken and I called each other on our cell phones during the games. Aaron was playing in Fayetteville. Aaron's team won the first game and lost the second. They won their game on Sunday when I was there. Aaron scored two goals over the weekend.

Monday we went to the New World of Coke in Atlanta. We had some family fun. Now we are all back to our daily grinds. Thankfully, it will be a four day week!
