The rest of our weekend with the family was great fun. Sunday we went to Battle Ground and spent most of the day with the Smiths and spent the night in Portland at Grandpa John's and Grandma's Nancy's. Then the next morning we went back to Battle Ground and hung out there for the rest of the day. May 29th is Amy's birthday and mine, and this was our first opportunity to celebrate it together. That was a lot of fun. In the late afternoon, a photographer came and took family pictures - the first since our wedding 6 years ago. Sophia did pretty
well, although she was really sleepy and a bit grumpy that we kept trying to wake her up. This weekend Paul, Barry, Pat and Earl tried to teach Sophia to play Risk, a favorite family game. I'm not sure she quite got it, but if she starts early she'll be beating them all before too long! It was a really special weekend with the entire family and we were lucky to all be together.
Yesterday I had a bookmobile staff meeting at our house most of the day Paul and Sophia very kindly stayed out of our way. They did come out to visit in the beginning and both Bev and Jen held Sophia. Jason, my boss, initially refused. In our experience, most men are not 
interested in holding her. After explaining his gender stereotype theory of baby holding and much peer pressure, Jason did hold Sophia and I thought it enough of a monumental event that we had to get a picture.
