Hail Jesus & It's Cold Out

Rylie loves to hold her hands up while she sleeps. We call her our own little Jesus. It's finally cold out and we make Rylie wear a hat. She looks so cute in her pink bunny hat.

Rylie's 1st Halloween

Rylie was a pumpkin for her first ever Halloween. Everyone at daycare thought she was just absolutely adorable. Even though she didn't get to go trick-or-treating herself, she helped Mom and Dad pass out candy to the neighborhood kids. (If you look carefully, you can also see the two teeth that she finally has coming in.)

After work play time with Rylie

We play with Rylie every night when we get home from work. One of us has to be with her constantly since she rolls and army crawls all over the place. It won't be long and she'll be crawling. It seems like we have our hands full now keeping up with her, but we know it soon will be even worse. Hopefully Grandma and Grandpa Watt are ready because little Rylie will keep them busier than they can imagine this coming weekend while Mom and Dad go to Vegas (Mom has a conference for work that she has to go to).

Shopping in Columbus, OH

On Saturday, we drove to Columbus to meet Grandpa Dunchak, Terry & Terry's dughter Jillian. Rylie spent most of the time with Grandpa, Terry & Jillian while Mom & Dad spent some time on their own shopping. Mom and Dad went to Build-a-Bear for the first time ever. We actually built Rylie a puppy. That's Mom at the fluffing station. It was really neat and we have a feeling that Rylie will spend lots of our money there as she gets older.

I've graduated to the big tub...sort of

Rylie's moved out of the kitchen sink and into the bathroom. Here she is in her new "duck tub." Even Macy likes to join in bath time now (so long as she doesn't have to get bathed herself). We apologize to the Arick's for copying off them, but Dad picked out the tub when Mom wasn't with him.

Future Football Fan

Keith is starting Rylie off early in order to make sure she becomes a true football fan.

Remembering Cassie

Our family has some sad news. We lost our failthful companion Cassie today. She truly was an amazing dog. We'll never forget how in her first years she befriended LB and then in her later years took on the wild & crazy Macy. She gave us 12 wonderful years and she will be greatly missed.
