Just some random info on our lives lately...

*Riley loves accessories - and if she has to wear her brother's underwear for a purse, so be it.  She's all in.  She also loves to wear socks on her hands - as gloves maybe?  Her new words are bath, bear, pears, Bebe, Papa, ball, hey! (while waving her hand like a princess), ah tee (thank you), tee tee (tweet tweet for "bird"), dees (for keys and cheese).  She "barks" when she sees a dog and "meows" when she sees a cat.  The girl now finally has her bottom two teeth and the top two are trying to poke on through - phew!  She knows where her belly is (you really can't miss that buddha belly), and the general region for her nose :).

*Will is a jammies kinda guy.  The kid would live in his pjs if we'd let him (and sometimes, we do).  He'll get home from school, church, target, anywhere and go get his jammies and a clean pair of underwear and ask for help putting them on... I guess it could be worse - at least he wears SOME clothes, right (and he insists on good hygiene with the new undies - which is adorable)?  He loves playing make believe with his trains and cars - it's so fun to watch him play.

*They both love to be outside all. day. long.  Santa sure picked a great "winter" to bring a playset - we've gotten so much use out of it with these warm, sunny days.

*Last, but certainly not least, I'm going to be an AUNT!  Stephen gets to be an uncle and our kids are getting a cousin!  Kathy and Whit are expecting a baby this September!  We're so excited!!!
