Fall is here!

Ryleigh's teeth

Yep. That's right - I said two teeth. The second one popped through yesterday. This is the first time I've been fast enough to get a picture of those pearly whites.

More pictures from this weekend...

Boy, it's awfully hard to get a family picture with a baby & the self-timer on the camera. Especially, when said baby has a weird phobia of sand, & screams when you sit down on the sand! Finally, after trying on THREE separate occasions to get family pictures, we have one that isn't too bad, considering the circumstances.

Ryleigh was a little bit scared of the waves at first. She would grab onto Jeff or I & hold on for all she was worth. Eventually, though, she seemed to lose her fear of the water.

We got to eat some wonderful seafood on Saturday night at Ray's Shanty. Ryleigh entertained herself by sucking on a lemon wedge. She made horrible faces, but liked it so much that we couldn't take it away without her crying.

We're Back!

We're back from our mini vacation that we took this past weekend. We went to Chincoteague Island, VA. It was so relaxing & refreshing to have NOTHING on the schedule for a few days! The beach was beautiful, but a little too cool for swimming. But, we enjoyed just sitting there, listening to the surf & watching the sea gulls. Ryleigh also enjoyed it, too - after she got over her fear of the sand!

Introducing Ryleigh to the ponies... she wasn't quite sure what to think!
