This weekend was our 10 year college reunion. We did not attend. We have quite fond memories of our time at Willamette, but many of the people we would want to see we're still in contact with and the reunion events were really expensive. Maybe we'll go to the 20 year reunion. The one thing we did attend was a Debate team reunion dinner which included people not just from his year but from any year who wanted to attend. Sophia and I visited for about 30 minutes just to show her off. It was fun to show off our cute baby!
Some of our friends we did want to spend time with who were in town for the reunion see were willing to see us at non-reunion activities. Liz and Tye came over and had breakfast at our house Saturday morning.
Saturday turned out to be a very busy day. We had Liz and Tye over for over for breakfast. Then we took Sophia to our other friend Liz's house and she watched Sophia for a few hours while
Paul and I had some much-needed date-time. (Yea Liz!) We went to lunch and a movie. Then Paul's Mom, Dad and brother Barry came over to watch the Nebraska football game on TV. They lost to USC. But the family wasn't devastated, something about Nebraska beating the spread. I try to be 
supportive but I don't really understand. Sophia just loved all the attention from her fan-club.Sunday we were going to attend a Northwest Adoptive Families Association event but after the busyness of Saturday we decided to hang out at home. We also swapped out all of Sophia's summer clothes for fall and winter clothes. She has a lot of clothing she'll never wear because it won't be the right size at the right season. Oh well. It's just very hard to predict that sort of thing. Most of her warmer clothing is 12-month sized which is a bit big, but that's better than buying a bunch of new clothes.
Sophia has two developmental updates. The first is that she has figured out how to play her "piano." Granted all she has to do is press a key and it plays about 5 seconds of music, but she has figured that out and has spent a lot of time this weekend greatly delighted by her ability to do it. The other fun thing she got to do this weekend was play with a spoon. Yesterday when we were feeding her lunch we gave her a spoon to play with and it immediately went into her mouth. She's not yet feeding herself, but she does seem to understand what the spoon is for. Of course, she's also using the spoon to smear food all over her face, but it's a start.
