She's 84!

It's Crazy to think that my 84 year old Grandma and aunt took the time and money to come out and visit us! Not many family members have in the two years we have lived here. It was a huge blessing and treat to have them around on Lorelei's blessing day. I was sad that the parental's and aunts and uncles couldn't come, but so are the facts of life. Riley and Lorelei loved the attention Oma and aunt Dorothy gave them. We got to celebrate Grams Birthday with a lovely dinner, cake and crying Riley. (he thought it was his birthday and when he realized it was for someone else, he fell apart.) I'm just thankful for Gram. She is the one grandparent who has always been a part of my life.

(Gram looks like a 50's baking soda add, but instead she's trying to sell my daughter)

(I love this candid shot!)

(Aunt Dorothy and Gram with Lorelei. As you can see, she is doing her famous "hoochie Heichie." I can actually hear her saying it, by just looking at the picture.)

Riley's day at the park!

Riley like most kids LOVES the park. As a matter of fact he spent 2 and a half hours at one today! The pictures below were taken on a weekend earlier this month. They have the largest slide I have been able to find here. Well enjoy the pictures of my little monkey exploring!

Disclaimer: Riley did not burn at the park. He just gets really red when he exerts any energy.

This is for the Grandmas!

I realize she has been a month for a couple of weeks now, but who can resist posting her 1 month old pictures? I got these sticky numbers for each month of her first year of life. Brittany (who helped host my baby shower) was the brain child and giver of this gift. All I need to do is put her in a white onsie, stick on the sticker and snap away with my camera. I love it! So there will be the monthly update with similar pics!
