HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Below are the pictures we took for our Holiday cards this year. I think they turned out pretty dang cute! I LOVE this little girl!
It's been a month, yes a month, since my last post. I've got to get a new routine down making time to post and comment. I do find minutes here and there to browse blogs and keep up with everyone. I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again, I'll be better after the first of the year.
Here's what's going on with us (the condensed version).
Riley's 7 months old! Wow! She's so much fun but is also very strong willed and stubborn. She wants what she wants when she wants it. I think we have our work cut out for us. And I love every minute of it.
At her 6 1/2 month check-up she weighed in at 15 lbs 10 oz and 26 inches long. She's still on the small side. I laugh because she so has my body. Longer torso and short legs. She wears 9 month tops and 6 month pants.
Miss Riley got sick at Thanksgiving and was running high fevers off and on. She's okay now but there were a couple of rough weeks. It ended up she had a Urinary Tract Infection. They suspect the cause is something known as reflux (her bladder not completely emptying itself). In most cases I guess they grow out of it. She has some follow-up tests scheduled in January.
And last but not least. We sold our house!!! We move into the new house THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. From the date we accepted the offer to move date we had 3 weeks. It's been CRAZY!!! Trying to pack up a house and take care of a seven month old is intense! Thank goodness she's not mobile yet. Close but she's saving it for the new house. Anyway, we're packing like crazy and trying to still celebrate Christmas. I've become very dependent on a nice glass of wine in the evenings. Below is a picture of our new house. The picture is a little deceiving because it's big, it's a rambler (no more stairs), with an unfinished basement that we've already starting arranging to finish. I can't wait!!!
So after the first of the year and after the move I'm going to become a better blogger. I miss just brain dumping sometimes. Oh, and I go to Palm Springs (without wife and baby) the second week of January. Lots of fun in the sun with by best Stamping friends!
Again, Happy Holidays to all!

We JUST drove by your house tonight. We were at Costco and decided since we hadn't heard anything to see if the sign was up. We would have stopped but we had to get home to the babysitter.
(I could have used a Riley fix)

"I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again, I'll be better after the first of the year."
That is an exact quote. I need an update. I did find out that miss Riley did get sick after my mom's. That breaks my heart.
Congrats on selling your house!! Please post some pics of your new place! I love looking at houses and babies of course!! Riley is a doll and I love the Christmas pics!!
