Marley - belting out the classics!

Goodbye, Dr. Neary!!

Well, today we said goodbye to our pediatrician, Dr. Elizabeth Neary!  Dr. Neary is retiring from her practice and though we wish her well on the next chapter in her life, we are sad to see her go!   We've only been with her for 4 years, but she's seen both girls through a lot, and we are grateful for her excellent 

care and compassion!!

Layla's 4 year check up went great!  Her "bones look good", according to her!!  

Stats:  42 lbs (90%)

                42 inches (90%)

Layla's Party Weekend!

We had a great weekend, celebrating Layla's birthday!   Nona, Beba, Uncle Ross, Aunt Julie, and Uncle Rich joined us for the weekend, which was filled with Dr. D trapping his nemesis, Agent P, in his invention:  The Cake-i-nator!!   We tried out new scooters and new bikes and got out the kiddie pool, seeing as how it was nearly 90 degrees!!    We really appreciate everyone traveling down and spending the day with our, now 4 year old!!! 

Happy 4th Birthday, Layla!

I was so focused on taking care of Miss M and prepping for Layla's party (being held the saturday following her birthday), that i almost missed doing something special for her actual day.  So, i was running around at 8pm the night before to gather balloons and make cupcakes.  Mommy fail.  She did get to see one of her presents, though!   A new "princess castle" (aka tent) that Tinkerbell built for her.   It's been a big hit for the Riddlettes!!   Layla (and Marley) also got to hang out with their buddy, Dane...and enjoyed lots of dancing to Imagination Movers:  In Concert!

Happy Mother's Day!

As everyone knows, it was a bit chaotic around our house on Mother's Day with our little sickie, Miss M! However, the Hubs and girls managed to make it special, none the less.  Homemade gifts the girls made at school, tulips, cards, and lots of artwork made the day very special!   

Some Light Reading

I wondered what was taking her so long...

Happy Easter!

We had a fun-filled day on Easter Sunday this year! First off, the Riddlettes scored some major loot from the big guy...and we're eager to eat some of said loot...at 6:30am. This made for an interesting 2 hour car ride to Appleton! We were able to celebrate with "bacon-on-the-grill" (ham) and lots of good cookin' with all the fam for Easter brunch. We aren't all able to get together that often, so it was nice to see everyone! The girls and their cousins participated in an Easter egg hunt...which added more candy...and more strung out kids for the 2 hour ride home. awesome.
