I really didn't want to give up a week to being sick but looks like that's what happened. I needed to be working on a baby shower, a garage sale and spending times with my little ones before they go back to school. Oh well, sometimes things are out of your control. This parasite I picked up just keeps hanging on. But never fear, next week this time I will be headed for Puerto Rico!! Yes, I'm spending Labor Day weekend with my husband in Puerto Rico. (perks of the new job) Right now I am hoping to be back to normal for Austin's baby shower on Sunday. Think I'll go lay down.

I can't believe it but this wonderful little boy turned 7 this week. I remember when he came home from the hospital and he has been very special from that first day. I remember holding him one day shortly after he was born and saying to someone visiting that he had such a sweet spirit about him. I was right. I know I am his Nana, but he has a very special heart. I hope you had a great birthday Riley. You look great on that bicycle. We love you very much!!
