Happy Birthday, Riley

It's hard to imagine that a year ago today we were in the hospital welcoming little Riley into our family. She has been such a delight and has such a happy disposition. We've enjoyed watching her every step of the way.

A little bit about Riley:

- She's a peanut (in other words, she's really small)

- She started walking 10 1/2 months

- She finally has more then 2 teeth, the top two came in last week

- She loves to cuddle (when she's tired)

- She is busy. She loves walking and is starting to run (or at least she tries)

- She love fruit

- She is a climber

- She loves the playground and tries to keep up with her brother

- She and Chase love to chase each other around the house

- And let's not forget, she's already a tease

It's amazing to watch as she is exploring the world around her, she is fearless, I recently told my mom she will be my child with broken bones and stitches. She is ALWAYS on the go. I love seeing the differences between she and Chase and watching their relationship develop.

We love you Ry - Happy Birthday.

I think I'm in love

So, I work in advertising. I'm an ad man - just like Don Draper. It's been a while since I've seen a commercial this good, so I thought I'd share. Enjoy -

It's been too long, I know

I have a million excuse of why I haven't blogged but it wasn't until I was uploading our pictures for the year and realized just how few I have taken in the last 5 months. When I'm update our blog consistently I take more pictures; so now that we have a new computer and Riley is turning one this week and I have about half the number of pictures of her 1st year compared to Chase's 1st year...well lets say I'm recommitting to the blog more for myself then anyone else. So here we go.
