FINALLY

So here she is...Riley Lauren Riego. 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She arrived around 3:45pm Wednesday 8-27-08. Her and mom are doing great. They got to come home Friday around lunch time. Can you believe the hair this precious lil girl has?

I went to see Kenny Chesney Saturday and wow what an awesome show. I won the tickets and debated on going or not and I'm so happy I did. He puts on a GREAT show. Gary and I had a kid free weekend. We went to Jacksonville Sat morning and came back Sunday afternoon, we had a great time, but I always miss the kids and worry about them.

So that's it for now. Hope everyone has a safe Labor day. God bless.

Sick Lil Girl

So Heather woke up this morning with a 102. fever. Complaining of her ear and throat hurting. She stayed home from school today and I'm sure she will be home tomorrow. I hate it when the kids are sick. She was able to go and stay at Granny's house, and you know how grannys are...spoil them rotten. I pray she gets to feeling better soon.
My neice Ashley goes for her last doctor appointment tomorrow. She is scheduled to be induced on Wednesday, so if not before, we will be meeting Riley Lauren Riego on Wednesday...hopefully anyway. I pray she doesn't have to long of a labor. Till next time.
Missy

Saying good bye

So I'm kinda sad right now. Lil Missy has been here for 3 weeks. She use to date my oldest son for 2 years and we got really close. She is like my own daughter, she's had a tough life, but was raised by a very good man. Her mom just has some things going on that I pray she will one day be able to let go of and see what a wonderful child she has. Missy had to go back to WV she starts college Monday. I hated to let her go, but I know she has such a great change to live out her dream, how can i stand in the way of that. She's a great person and I will miss her so much.

Still Waiting

My great neice is being a little hard to get a long with. She is nice and cozy where she is and plans on staying as long a possible. Ashley is due the 30th of August, the baby now weighs 7lbs 12oz. They have decided to induce labor on the 27th if nothing happens before then.
Looking forward to meeting her and giving her lots of love.
Heather did great on her spelling test with those BIG WORDS. She made a 100, and she loves the game that Cecile told me about "TIMES ATTACK", it really does help.
Till next time :)

STRESS

Wow another year of school has started. I've got to get myself and the kids back into the groove of things.
I cannot believe the homework a 4th grader has. I can believe it because I have 2 boys that have already been there, but it still amazes me how much they put on these kids. Spelling words are unbeliveable. "INTERROGATIVE...DECLARATIVE..." what kind of mess is that, I'm not sure I spelled them right. We just have to rearrange our lives a little so that we can focus more on homework... not going to be able to go to Wednesday night service every week like we are use to, but that's okay.
My neice is due anyday now with my great neice. Ofcourse like every lil lady she is taking her time to come see the world. I'm so excited.
We have a crop coming up on the 22nd. Going to the beach in Jacksonville with some of my bestest buddies, and going to spend the whole weekend scrapbooking our hearts out... (going to miss you Cecile) if you decide to just come for the day and bring Cole, you know where we will be :)
My two closest friends have had so much trama here lately, and I'm so praying that the little black cloud hanging over them is fastly moving away, their familes have been through enough.
My addopted daughter (so to speak) has been here for a visit, she has to go back next week :(
She is starting college and I am so pround of her but will miss her so much.
Will be back later, maybe not so long this time :) thanks for the ear
Missy
