Being the coach for Lou's team was very frustrating while at the same time being equally fun and rewarding!  These cute girls worked hard and improved a lot.

Nathan, Kristi and Diego arrived in time to celebrate mom's birthday.   We celebrated with sushi and Pineapple Dream Dessert.  It's a treat to be close enough to celebrate with her.
