Kambri and Julie time

We will continue on our travelouge later today but I wanted to post some photos of Kambri because Kiera can't. (She can't find the charger for her camera.)

This past week we went up to Post Falls to see the Madison Girls Soccer team play at state. The weather was cold and windy but the girls played valiantly against some very good teams. They first drew the top team from the Boise area, Eagle. These girls were all pretty good, so good that many of the players of the Eagle team already have scholarships to some very good college girl soccer schools. They were defeated but at times they showed that they could play with them. The next day they played Sandpoint which also has a reputation for being a good soccer school. Sandpoint was the number one seed from Northern Idaho. They were also defeated there and they played against a 40 mph wind in the first half and the wind died down in the second half. Julie played well as the captain of the team and she did it with her injury to her foot and her knee has never been 100% since her operation. I believe that if the team had been full of Julie's it would have been able to do very well against those two teams and played them straight up and could have beat them.

On Thursday afternoon Brad went to Boise because he had a meeting there on Friday. Because of that he was able to bring Kiera and Kambri home with him. Kambri is crawling, walking furniture and does a lot of talking. We don't understand what she says yet but she sure can say it. We had a good time on Friday and Saturday, just being with them. All of the Reed kids came over and we were able to visit. We celebrated Nathan's up coming birthday with a pizza dinner Saturday evening and had pumpkin pie for the cake. Everyone had a good time and Kambri was the center of attention most of the time. She only cried when Kiera went to the store and left Kambri with her Grandpa. I guess he still has to learn how to be a better Grandpa.

Kambri and Kiera left for home Sunday morning on the shuttle. The house is a lot less interesting without them there.
