Riley-Anne's Birth

This is just a tease! I thought I was going to be able to FINALLY write about Riley-Anne's birthday- but the little munchkin has decided to wake up from nap:/

Here is a little preview... this is how we spent the night of Oct. 17...

Sad, Sad Day

This is what it looks like to be a prisoner in your own home. Not only would Ryan not go into OUR OWN BEDROOM to get a pillow because of a sleeping 4 month old, he wouldn't open the hall closet to get a blanket in fear of waking the oldest two! Instead, he decided to sleep in the ugliest (but free) rocker with a towel as his blanket :(

How do you do it all?

Please let me in on the secret of how you keep up with laundry :)

Sick Babies

Well, after two years of avoiding the stomach bug, I am very sad to say it has decided to come visit and refuse to leave our house. It all started on Tuesday evening at dinner. Allie-Parker refused to eat, which should of been my first clue something was wrong! Ever since that night it has been taking us down one by one :(

We have separated Riley-Anne for the 100th time this month. Before the stomach bug we all had super high temps and coughs... just when everyone started sleeping through the night again in comes relentless barf. Ugh, sorry that is gross, but true ;)

I just keep telling myself, "We will live through this". At least I hope so!

Sisters?

Would you guess that we are sisters?

Procrastinating Momma

Hi, my name is Riley-Anne. You have no idea how much I weighed or how long I was when I was born because my mom has taken almost 3 months to decide on a birth announcement for me. Well, check your mail boxes people! She ordered them today so you will all be "in the know" soon.
