Funny memories already

Riley and Colter are only 2 1/2 months old, and we already have quite a few funny memories...
  • Like the time when I was changing Riley's diaper in the middle of the night. She looked like she might be developing a diaper rash. The light in the nursery isn't very bright, so I bent closer to check it out. (Jeff will also tell you that I need to wear my glasses, but that's another issue.) Well, just as I got close, our little girl lets out a very loud and very wet stinker. Oh yes, there were specks of poop on my face!
  • Speaking of tooting...there was the time when Colter tooted so loudly that Governor turned around in surprise to look at his own butt.

More firsts!

We really got out of the house today. We took Riley and Colter to see Dan (the son of our friend Chris) get baptised. Here he is holding Riley.
Their church did a special service to baptise almost 30 people. They played a video testimony prior to each baptism. It was really amazing to hear some of those stories. We're so happy for Dan. I had a new appreciation for how wonderful parents must feel when their children accept Jesus. No decision is more important. I pray every day that Riley and Colter will come to know and love the Lord.

After the baptisms, we went straight to Uncle Greg, Aunt Laurie, David, and Rachel's house for Rachel's 18th birthday party.

Here's the birthday girl.
I can't believe she's 18 already! It was great to see family again and the twins enjoyed their first birthday party.

First real outing

Today we went on our first real outing (besides trips to the doctor and lactation consultants). We went to the mall to see if we could find a couple new pieces of clothing for me. While nursing is great for losing the baby weight, I have very few shirts that fit. Dad went too, of course, as the resident fashion consultant. We didn't have much time before the next feeding, but we were able to find a couple shirts and a skirt.

Here we are in the parking lot documenting our outing. I'm sure the people waiting to pull into that particular spot were thrilled - oops!
