"He looks like he's from Michigan..."

...said Ryan.

Ah, music to my ears... even though we're in PA, it's nice to know that there's a little Michigan in my son.

Fun Times...

Here's some random fun moments.

Thank you Wiggles for this little tune... though Riley seems a bit shell-shocked through some of it. It think it's one of his favorite songs. Other than "Wheels on the Bus," which we'll try and capture for you soon...

Where's Riley? - a game that never gets old... to some, or should I say, to one... :)

PUZZLES!!



Carter and Riley... and my WAY-OUT-OF-TUNE guitar...

Leaves they are a changing... still!

We're amazed that the color of the leaves still seems to be so beautiful! And we're trying to take full advantage of it! We've gone on many walks, some drives and some hikes... it's a beautiful Fall - no wonder it's my favorite time of year! It's starting to get a little colder out now so our walks are getting less and less and we're bundling up more and more. Why can't Fall last about another month?!!

Halloween it is for us...

Ryan's dream came true when we finally found a Yoda costume for Riley...

And Riley was so excited! We both thought he looked so cool, which enhanced his excitement just a bit... he loved seeing himself in the mirror and saying "ya-ya" which of course means Yoda.

We had fun seeing our neighbors and family - and Riley attempted saying Trick or Treat a few times, but it sounded more like "teet-teet."

Happy Halloween everyone!

Go Phillies!!

Buddies...

Riley and Carter have been getting together about twice a week since Riley was 6 months old. They are learning about friendship, sharing and getting along with others. Sometimes they do this so well, other times not so much. :) But either way, it's fun to watch their familiarity and friendship with one another grow...

Rainy Weekend at the Bay...

A bit of old news... but good news and I just wanted to share... so there... :)

We enjoyed our last hoorah at the Bay the last weekend of September. We were glad to have Grandmom and Pop Delp, Aunt Jenna and Great-Aunt Patti and Great-Uncle Doug there with us to call the summer to a close. We missed Uncle Tracy, but he was never far from Riley's mind... as he seemed to say "Tseet-See" a few times a day. :)

It was a bit rainy, so we had to make up our own fun at times...

We played some RockBand... and Riley really got into it!

A highlight was dancing with Doug!



We had a small break from the rain and had one last boat ride...

It was a good summer... and we're already excited for next year...
