Riley

So I am going back and updating everyone on the last month. I am starting with the newest addition to our family - RILEY!
Riley has definitely been a welcome addition to our family but it caused a bit of a stir. Madison - while loving Riley - completely acted out to Chris and I. This is completely natural (per her pediatrician) like bringing home a new sibling. After a couple weeks of saying "no Riley""no Madison" for hours on end - I think we have system down that works. Madison is getting use to have a new morning schedule - to include taking our Riley. Riley has also almost been potty trained and likes to spend her days/evenings in the pen we put in the kitchen. She use to have the whole kitchen until she chewed up a piece of the molding under the island. She is getting so big - I am sure over 15 lbs by now. Here is a couple pictures of the day we got her. Enjoy!!!

Happy Belated Mother's Day

So I am a little bit behind but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day.

We had a fabulous day - we hung out for a little while in the morning - then off to Starbucks for what Madison say - "mommy's coffee" - awful I know!! Then we headed to the mall to run around and play with Madison. We had lunch out and then spent the rest of the day at home. My wonderful family is sending me to the spa! (Is that telling me something) - WHO CARES - I am so excited to go!!!

It was so nice to spend the day with my family!

New computer

So it is up and working..... pictures are being sent out and I will be updating this blogs several times over the next several days with all of our recent events. For the moment - here are a couple pics!

Moving in the right direction....

So our computer has been rebuilt. After much debate, research and discussions - we bought all the pieces to rebuild our computer. Now I am sure you all know I had nothing to do with it. I just said "ok". But it has been rebuilt and I am thrilled. Now Chris just needs to finish reinstalling all the software and we will be back on track.......pictures are going! I promise this time.

I am off to get Madison so we can go get flowers for the deck planters. LOVE this sun!
