Remind me not to worry about Paige not eating ....

Despite the fact that Paige isn't eating nearly enough out of the bottle (according to what all the books say she should be eating), she's gaining weight! My chubby thighed little girl weighed in at 15 pounds and 24 inches yesterday. Some of you may be thinking, "She only weighs 15 pounds at 6 months?" ... but compared to Riley who was at 19 pounds at 1 year, this is a bit different for us. I think she comes in right around the 50 percentile ... so in other words ... she's perfect. :) But I already knew this.

Mother's Day was good. We woke up early and went out to breakfast with Big Hill Grandma (Grandma Karen) and Uncle Jim's family. I got two cards (one from Riley/Paige and one from Ryan), an adorable bucket of foam flowers that Shelley had Riley make at daycare and Ryan and the kids came along with me to pick out all my outside flowers for the year. It was a GREAT day spent with the family.

Nothing else is new. We've just been busy with outside projects. Ryan and I have been trying to add a bit of curb appeal to our house. We planted a tree for Paige this past weekend (we did the same for Riley when he was born) and have a few new bushes to plant. If anyone feels like painting trim, shutters or a couple doors, let me know. I'll be around on Friday to set you up with paint and a brush. :)

I haven't taken any pictures lately. We had a wedding this past weekend and I tried to take pictures there but was shot down by their photographer ... boo hoo. I'm sure I'll get some new pictures up soon though.

Happy (belated) May Day!

Yes, I know the calendar says May 2nd, but I'm still wishing you a Happy May Day!!

As we sat down for dinner yesterday our doorbell rang. While Ryan was walking to the door he saw a little head flash by the front window. Not remembering it was May Day, I went out the deck door ... ready to catch the little bugger who was playing ding dong ditch. I looked around the house and saw no one ... until the little neighbor boy comes out from under the deck ... looking like he wanted to just disappear. As he started back towards his house I asked, "So what ya doin?" His mother had been watching ... and suddenly came out saying, "No, no ... he left a May Day basket on your step." *laughs* She wanted to clear his name.

So yes, it was May Day. Why don't we all deliver May Day baskets anymore?

And as a side note, it was almost more fun to sit in the living room last night and watch as the same neighbor boy and his older brother delivered baskets to the house across from us. The drop, the run, the confusion and then the chase ... it made me want to be a kid again.
