Fun Night, Let me Tell ya...

Ok, so I guess I was a little wrong when I said Riley was feeling better, or maybe she was and I got too excited and fed her solid food too fast, who knows. But last night was a fun one! Riley went through 4 pairs of pajamas and 2 sets of sheets and Josh and I both had a change of jammies too...She was sick 4 times in the night from 2 a.m. to about 4:30 a.m. I should be napping now, but I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor's office. They claim it's not from the flu shot, but I'm not buying it! Oh, and for you mom's out there, they said Pedialite is better than Gatorade because Gatorade tends to be hard on the tummy...I was using Gatorade but I was diluting it with water, so now we've switched to Pedialite...we'll see how that goes. She's sleeping now which is GREAT! My mom says you have to have a sense of humor when kiddos get sick, and I was doing well with that until 2 a.m....It's hard to watch your kid be sick...And it just reminds me how some moms have to watch their kids go through much worse. I'm so lucky to just have these bumps in the night.

Ouch, sorry for the bummer message today, I am lacking sleep!

Thanks Grandmas!!!!

I want to thank both grandmas for bringing Jello, Gatorade, and other necessities for sick baby. Riley is feeling much better and keeping food down today! Thanks for taking care of us:)

Grandpa Teach Me



Now these pics were on Thanksgiving too...sorry for going backwards, but I just downloaded pics for our Christmas card so I thought's I'd post some. This was Grandpa Mark's drumming lessons.

I like links with photos




So my cousins were over at my sister Katie's house the day after Turkey Day...well, except Dan who had to stay home sick...Here's some pics of Dan and Sharis's little guy Ryan. Isn't he a doll!?! Riley wasn't sure what to think of "baby" and Zack was thinking...Thank God another boy to play with!

More Crazy Fun

Ok, so i have a sick kiddo sleeping and I decided to do some laundry because of the pre-mentioned dirty clothes messes. Well, I forgot that I had the quilt in the laundry tub soaking from yesterday's mess, so I went to change the laundry and OOPS, the tub had overflowed! Thank God for the hole in the floor down there ( I know know it has a technical term for it, but right now, I'm just glad it's a hole in the floor!) Now I have to go bail that out! Fun times! I should be cleaning my house anyway, Daniel C. you may have created a monster. If anyone comes to my house and it's a mess, blame my cousin:)

Riley's first real bug

Today's adventure...and yesterdays too...Riley is sick. She got a flu shot on Tuesday and she's been yucky all day yesterday and this morning so far. She seems a little better today, but it's hard to know...she's still a happy kiddo, but once in a while she just gets sick...and she tickles her own feet and laughs while I'm changing the yucky diapers, so it's hard to say she doesn't feel good...no fever either, so I'm sure it's just a shot reaction, but this is really the first time she's had more than a cold. Not fun:(

Here's a pic of my sister-in-laws wedding in September. Riley was the junior flower girl...

Working out the bugs...And I don't mean ladybugs:)

Ok, Dan, is there a way to make the font size stay the same size and style as a default instead of changing it each time?

Testing my skills


I'm trying out this blog thing, here's my effort to post photos...

Call me crazy!

Ok, after much prodding by my cousin in Chicago, I've decided to give this blogging thing a go. I like being able to see pics of his little guy as he grows up and i thought this might be better than stuffing your e-mail boxes with a million pictures! I will assume most of this blogging will come from me, but Josh might have some input too...who knows!?

Any thoughts about what I need on my blog? Let's start there!
