Laughing...

We finally caught Ryleigh laughing on camera. She has been doing it for about a week.

A Call from the Stake President...

Last Thursday Dan came home to find a message from the Stake President's secretary to meet with the Stake President that night if possible. I came home from work at Target Pharmacy at 7:30 and we raced over to the church. As always, when you are in a hurry, the kids don't cooperate. At least Ryleigh wasn't. She was crying from gas and upset. So we were a little frazzled when we showed up at the church. Well, Dan has a new calling as of last Sunday...is the suspense killing you yet? He is now the second counselor in the bishopric! We were both blown away and Dan just sat there shocked. I said "WOW!" We were not expecting something like this. So to sum up our weekend...Dan's parents and grandpa drove from Salt Lake on Saturday to be with us on Sunday. Dan's father ordained Dan as a High Priest and he is now the second counselor. We are still trying to adjust to the change in schedule. He will be gone more now and I am still scheduled to work one Sunday a month at Savon. I am trying to work that out to stop working that Sunday, but haven't heard anything back from work yet. So this Sunday coming up we have our neighbor watching the girls while Dan has his meetings. I hope everything works out in the end. I am sure it will somehow.

A little bit about what's going on with me at work. I work on an as needed basis at Target Pharmacy and just pick up shifts when i want some extra work. Well, the pharmacy manager quit and his last day was last Sunday. So now the pharmacy is without a regular pharmacist. They are still trying to find a replacement. So I have been working a lot of extra shifts. I am not the only as needed pharmacist working for Target, but we all have other jobs too. It has been a crazy week that is for sure. And I think Ryleigh is coming down with a cold (McKenna gave it to her) to top things off.

One good thing was that it was in the 70s last weekend. Our daffodils bloomed and the girls and I spent Saturday at a festival for a new urban development. McKenna had her face painted. Dan was busy taking test #5 out of 9. It was a 5-6 hour test. What a fun way to spend a Saturday.

2 months

Ryleigh had her 2 month doctor's appointment yesterday. She weighs 10 lbs 15 oz. and is 21 inches long. Her head size is in the 60th percentile. She did not liked being poked and proded by the doctor. Since she was already crying the nurse decided to give her three shots in her thighs to add to her madness. Her face turned a nice shade of maroonish purple. She was so mad! McKenna just read a book through this whole ordeal. She figured that she had to go through this pain a couple of weeks ago so why not RyRy too. That is Kenna's nickname for Ryleigh.

Will or Kristen (not sure who) asked for details on Kenna and Ryleigh's relationship. McKenna and Ryleigh are best buds. McKenna is constantly in Ryleigh's face kissing her and talking to her. Sometimes she gets too close and Ryleigh just looks at her with huge eyes. Ryleigh reponds pretty well to Kenna. She smiles at her and tries to talk to her. She is now making cooing noises at me and Kenna when we talk to her. When Ryleigh is crying when Kenna is watching cartoons, Kenna yells "She's crying!" and then sits closer to the TV so she can hear. McKenna is a great helper to me when I am feeding the baby and need something. She is my retriever. I don't think I have heard McKenna say a negative thing about Ryleigh. Kenna even likes to watch me change her diaper. She likes to ask "Is it a big poopy one?" I don't know why she is interested in her poopy diapers. That is basically their relationship. I am sure when Ryleigh is older and mobile their relationship will change...(ie. She's touching me!!!) Can't wait for that.
