Lydia's had her first swim meet for the spring session and several of her school classmates came this time. Meets are definitely more fun when you have a whole slew of people cheering you on.

Excuse the background noise. :P

Sushi, it's what's for dinner
In preparation for the sashimi grade tuna delivery this weekend, Trung and I have been practicing our rolling skills. We managed to get spicy, chopped scallops and masago sushi to stand up; and put together unagi sushi. Fortuanately, the seaweed and octopus was purchased ready to eat and the salmon just needed to get cut into sashimi sized pieces. We are ready for the tuna!

Will big sister help pull the tooth this time?
No, not really. Okay, maybe next time...

Sushi Galore
I suddenly had a craving for sushi, so I picked up ingredients at our local Japanese market and set to work. The girls always order California rolls at restaurants, so they were very pleased with my sudden interest. Here are my creations...
California rolls for the kids, with tofu skin pockets, masago eggs, and miso soup

Grandma's Cookies
Lydia auditioned today for Grandma's Cookies with an extremely tall guy (the one in the navy shirt) that I had to take a picture. She later got her very first callback, but unfortunately didn't book the job.
Here's the one that got away...
After the audition, we met up with our old Austin friends Bert and Judy who were in town for a few days.

Buck the Tooth pull (Take 1)
Meet "Buck", Sophie's first buck tooth. He has been with us longer than we want to remember and loves our family so much that he never wants to leave. Some may even say Buck might have cost us the cruise job, but we will never know. Sophie likes to keep him around because she fears the physically pain of losing him, but the time near.
Sophie's buddy, Buck
The struggle is real...
...
Okay, we'll try again later.

Laser Tag
Lydia's classmate, Natasha, had her birthday party at a laser tag place and this time Trung and I decided to join in the fun. It's a little sad how much delight I had in shooting little children, but it was oh so fun!

Basketball potuck
At the end of every sports season, the coaches host a potluck pizza party and hand out trophies to each player. Coach Rondell gives hints about each player and everyone goes nuts trying to figure out who it is.
Guess Who?
It's Sophie!
Accompanied by her big sister, who was mainly there for the free food
