T minus 18: Reunion and American Idol

Yesterday, we had a fabulous time at a travel reunion for the families who traveled to China with us. We had a cookout at one of the family's house. It was so nice to see all the girls together! We had a group photo, but whew - it's tough getting a bunch of girls in the 24 month age range to sit still, even when their big brothers and sisters are holding onto them!

Tonight, EJ participated in the local Idol competition at the town library. This is the 3rd year for it...she didn't sing last year, but jumped back in this year. She sang "Seven Things" by none other than Miley Cyrus. (I'm sure you're shocked by that...and thanks to a weekend of listening to the song, I now know all the words too!) Miley/Hannah Montana was almost a theme this year with most of the older girls singing her selections. EJ did a great job, although in the videotape, you'll probably just hear Sophie saying her sister's name over and over again!
