TIGF

Couple things to be thankful for today. First, the ultrasound was today to reassure us that baby is fine. It went well. We have another ultrasound scheduled for Oct. 1st for baby measurements and that's the one where we can find out the gender...I still think Boy...

Secondly, today is Josh's Aunt Pam and Grandma Mary's birthday and my friend Jenny's b-day too...and My sisters Brother's-in-Law and Sister's-in-Law Anniversary. Happy Day to all!

What a Weird Week

I know I haven't posted a lot again, I'm failing the blogging world...Oops! It's been a weird week around here. Tuesday we were supposed to go to the zoo with my mom, sisters and the kids, but I woke up having some issues that freaked me out so I had to make a doctor appointment instead. Mom took Riley to the zoo with my sisters for a little while, but then she came back in time for my afternoon appointment. It turns out everything was "normal" and baby's heart rate was strong, so I freaked out for nothing, but we have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow just to reassure us. And just when I was feeling better about that, Riley spiked a fever last night...and this morning it's gone??? Weird! Needless to say, I'll be watching her all day for that.

We've been laying low all week and Riley and I are going a little stir-crazy. She woke up this morning and asked me what "the plan" was for today. She is starting to sound like her Daddy:) He always wants to know the plan too. I usually start our day by telling her what we're going to do, but she wasn't too happy when I told her we were going to "hang out" today. She also wants to play with her friends and they are all in school now, which she does NOT like! Oh boy! So that's the news from here. I'll try to post some pics soon, but since we've had to reschedule our activities for this whole week, we don't have much to show for it!

My Other "Big Girl"

I don't have pictures because this "little" girl now lives in Chicago with her family, but I have to say a VERY special HAPPY SWEET 16 to my Kelsey Marie Burlington today. For those of you who don't know, Kelsey and her brother Tyler were kids Josh and I babysat back in my parent's neighborhood a long time ago. Kelsey and Ty were even in our wedding...Now my little kids are all grown up! Kelsey loves to make me feel old:) Happy Birthday Kiddo!

Riley's Big Girl Bed

This weekend we set up Riley's real Big Girl Bed...not just the crib with the front wall taken off. This is a twin set that we bought from a family friend this spring...we didn't get the rest of the furniture in the room, but the bed is all set up and she even napped in it yesterday...not today of course, that would be asking a lot of a magic bed, but she seems to like it! Please ignore the beach towel hanging from the curtains. We were trying to keep her sleeping longer in the morning and maybe get her to sleep in the afternoons by making it darker in her room. Not sure it's working...Doesn't she look tiny in this bed?

The End of the Birthday Pics

Here's a few more random shots from this weekend. Great Grandpa rocking Colvin, Uncle Dude and Zack, Sharis and Colvin, Dan and Ryan, Riley and Adrienne.

Kids at Play

Here's a few of the kids playing in the yard at Kiley's party. We were trying to teach Ryan and Adrienne how to hit the ball. Zack and Riley, being the oldest of the 6 kids under 3 at the party, are already pretty good at it...Riley even nailed Daddy with one hit! Oops, don't get too close when those two are hitting! Riley even claims she hit a home run:)

The Birthday Party

Yesterday was the big birthday party for Kiley's 1st and Grandma C's 87th. Grandma doesn't like her picture taken so I didn't get anything good to post of that birthday girl, but here's a few of the 1-year-old! My sisters probably got better pics of Grams!
