Chess Master

Belen played her first chess game today. After watching Mommy and Chase play, Belen demanded a turn! I won't describe that unsavory scene. While we we were doing some chores, she decided to set up the chess board--almost perfectly! Only two pieces were misplaced.

Number Four

The much anticipated birthday celebration for Belen's fourth birthday happened today! Every other day for the past year she has been asking, "How many days until my birthday?" This year with Gabriel's help our song was a bit more on key! I hope. The cake was a masterpiece of Dora created by Mommy! ha. It was more like a painting by Salvador Dali.

Chase Scores

He made the first basket during the final game for the Pilots. His team made it to the second round tournament through the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club. This is the third year Chase's classmates have played together and the team is coming together quite well. They only won a single game last year ;_( . All the games this year we're pretty close in score and the boys were excited to be winning. We all went to his final game and Belen sat on the sidelines to cheer the boys on!
