days 4-9

On Thursday night my "fake cousin" John and his girlfriend Sharon let us know their baby was ready to enter the world. My sister and I drove to the hospital, arrived around 7or so, and stayed until 2am. We left because Beth had to be back to work at 630. About 15 minutes later, little baby Xaviar was born. I just met him today.

Friday we left for the coast and had a good time.

We used our tent (that we got for $20 a few months ago) for the first time and discovered it has a really weird shape. 

It works great though. The Oregon coast poured lots of rain and none of it got through.

We ended up deciding to come home a day early, since I didn't want to sleep in the tent again and Levi didn't want to sleep in the car :)

On the way home, our check engine light came on.

So we ended up broken down on the pass, calling my sister and Jordan at 11 at night, not getting picked up until 130am, and having a rough night. That is the fast version. Everything worked out great, we were really blessed in everything from where we broke down to being able to call someone, and come to find out, the repair was only $50. My check engine light is still on, so I'm hoping that will go off after I've driven it a bit. We shall see!
