What a day!

It's been another one of those busy days. Started early in the morning to go to Gabriel's chess tournament. As we were getting in the car, I saw our neighbor Glen. So finally, months after the incident, I was able to thank him for knocking on our door one early morning, and letting me know that I left my keys on the keyhole. Where it stayed the whole night. If I didn't write about it before, I was probably too embarrassed to admit it. But now you know.

Gabriel's chess was good, he got a medal along with a few kids for ending up with 3 wins out of 5. We met a few other people and I did a good deed today. Let me not tell you what it is, but it was a good deed.

After chess, we took Andrew to the soccer field for the last game of the Fall season. Andrew's dad was there to meet us. I'm not sure whether we won or it was a tie, but the season ended good, that's for sure. Cheers to Coach V! Cheers to Dealey Dragons!

At this point, I only had a hotdog to fill my stomach around lunchtime. Definitely not enough, so I'm thankful we still have leftover roast pork, roast duck, and kinilaw. The best, I say!

I popped in the West Wing dvd from where I left off but immediately fell asleep. Bad, I only just ate. But I couldn't help it. Now I'm wide awake and telling you how my day went.

Gabriel won first place in a chess tournament in Dallas

Last October 11, 2008, Gabriel won first pace in the K-2 division Chess Tournament, here in Dallas. We were ever so proud. He received another trophy and we're seriously running out of table space to hold them. He's been very happy though, and so have we. The next tournament will be in his school, Dealey Montessori.

After the tournament, Andrew, Gabriel's friend from school, joined us for lunch and stayed with us until half past 7 that night. The boys practically spent the whole day together, and just the day before, Gabriel was over at Andrew's after school for his birthday celebration. So, not just one day, but 2 whole days together!
