End of September

For the past few weeks, mom has been down here helping out with Dane and Ryleigh. I don't know how I would have managed without her because I was under doctor's orders to stay off my feet and take it easy, which is hard to do with a two year old! She often occupied Dane by taking him to the park, playing outside, or going for walks while I rested and stayed home with Ryleigh. I am very grateful for all of her help and support!

Also, Aunt Shirley and Uncle Al Stevens came down for a few days to visit with relatives and take Aunt Freda to some of her doctor's appointments. I am so glad they were able to stop by and visit with us for awhile.

Aunt Shirley Stevens knitted this adorable pink sweater for Ryleigh. I absolutely love it and will treasure it forever!

And last, this is how Alek gets Ryleigh to sleep.   So funny!
