Catching up

This summer has just gotten away from me. Having Ryley home all day has put a spin on things and I hardly get a chance to sit down. We've just been hanging out and trying to survive this crazy humid heat. Oh how I miss Arizona! So here goes an effort to fill you all in on some of our happenings...

Ryley finished up her first year of school. She really enjoyed kindergarten and was really sad that the school year had to end. She had an amazing teacher that fit perfect with her personality. It was really cute but heart wrenching at the same time when I went to pick her up from school the last day. I hadn't told her I was coming and thought I'd surprise her. I found both her and Mrs. Hodges crying in the hall way, both not knowing what they'd do not seeing each other everyday. Ryley's face says it all.



Any chance the kids get they like to do this with their dad...



It's only taken me 6 weeks but we finally exchanged Ryley's birthday present from Grandpa and Grandma Miller. This is the dress she picked and she says she's holding you to her new shoes and purse Grandpa.



The other kids are growing like weeds. It's fun to see their little personalities grow. Olivia has really grown up a lot and we can't wait till she starts talking more.

(Ben actually has a buzzed head now, he wanted to be like Uncle Ben)

They're getting so big! Except this time it makes me excited because I know that its only a few months before we get to see them.

As far as Labor Day plans...I doubt that I'll be allowed to go as far as Virginia Beach. From what I hear its about 3.6 hours away from here and I'll be 39 weeks. I don't know how all of this stuff works though, so maybe?

Holy crap, I forgot that you have a whole other kid. I've never even seen him! Weird.
