Well it is Feb. 19th and I just noticed that I haven't updated since June of last year. Once again I am going to try to get better at this.

So a lot has happened since then.....On Dec. 13th 2009, we welcomed a beautiful baby girl to our family, Ella Standish. She is already two months old and doing wonderful! Riley is adjusting pretty well. Somedays are harder than others. I guess it is pretty difficult to have mommy's full attention for 4 and a half years and then all of a sudden have to share it. My neighbor said it best " He loves Ella, it's you he hates somedays." and that is how it seems to go.

I am home for at least the rest of this school year with Ella which is great because Jeff is super busy. It is crazy that at this time last year they had no work and we thought he would loose his job to pulling all nighters because they are so slammed with deals. In this economy I am happy with the latter!!

Riley is still loving dinosaurs and animals as much as he ever has and has taken up coloring. There are days where I think he would color all day long, which is great because a few months ago he had no interest and he is getting so much better at it everyday. He is a real daddy's boy right now. He and Jeff are big buddy's ( wearing their Saints jersey's together..GO Saints!!) His new nickname is Reggie

Ella is so beautiful and so much fun. Much more fun now that she is sleeping 4 hours at night! SHe looks just like her daddy right now so we will see how she grows and her looks change. Jeff is now finding out what its like to have a daddy's little girl or sweetheart as he calls her:)
