Random Update of Stuff

My parents came up last week to spend more time with the girls. On their last day we went to Lincoln City and went to the beach! Here are a couple of pix from that:

Eden and Emma playing in the sand.

It was really windy that day, if you couldn't notice from Eden's hair. :)

Isn't she just adorable?

My parents left on Saturday the 14th, which was also the same day as Eden's Battle of the Books regional competition! She was able to go to this because her team beat all the other teams in her school! Woohoo! We got there early and waited for her other teammates to arrive.

From left to right: Vivian, Marisa, Olivia, and Eden

The teams were divided into 3 and put into a classroom where they did round-robin battles against each other. The first set of questions were about the book and you had to guess the name and author of the book. The second set, you were given the name of the book, and had to answer questions about what happens in it.

There were 3 rounds, then a championship round after that. Unfortunately, they couldn't get past the first round. I honestly think the moderator was against them the whole time! There were times where they answered correctly, but were turned down because they were called for time. They all still had a great time, and it was a wonderful experience to watch Eden compete. Good job E!

Emma's response. We had to wake up really early, since the competition was an hour away. Emma couldn't make it past the first round either. :D

The same with Sophie.

That's pretty much it for now. Now it's just adjusting to Joy having to go back to work and getting back to our groove! I'll leave you with a little video of Emma taking care of Sophie. Thanks for reading!

P.S. In regards to Sophie sleeping in a laundry basket... We have a bassinet in our room, one downstairs, and her crib in her room, but I can't hear her if she cries in any of those places. So, I have to get creative! It's not laziness... it's INGENUITY! :)
