took matthew to his first chess tourney in irvine.

here he is after checking in...ready to play! =)

look at the little "doily" for the centerpieces, which were to be prizes later on...
------------------------------

meanwhile, back in cerritos...

it's him!

(can't count on library staff to not mess up my picture. oh well.)
here's my signed book!

(i showed great restraint and brought ONE book. some others brought a suitcase full. crazy.)
------------------------

went to pick up matt after the book signing, and he won a prize for scoring 2.5 points

(2 wins and 1 draw)

------------------------

dashiell found these pjs...which are going to be too big for him...for a while!
