Riley Grace!!

My sister Lorraine got very sick on Monday and needed someone to take the kids. My parents took Vincenza and I took Riley for 2 days. She is such a good and happy baby. Always smiling and hardly ever cries....only when she is tired or needs a pamper change.

Smiley Riley!

Matt just loved having her around and was a big help.

How I miss these precious days.

She just stared sucking her bottom lip at my house. When I brought her back home on Wednesday, Lorraine was hysterical because she has never done this before. It's not like I taught it to her!!!

Happy 9th Birthday Matt!

Matt is playing on the town basketball team for the first time this year. He does great and is really enjoying it. His dad is his coach!

We celebrated Matt's 9th birthday on Wednesday. We have been partying all week for it. Cupcakes to school on Wed., Cupcakes to AWANA (church) on Thursday and a movie with 3 of his friends on Sunday and a sleepover with 2 friends. A week long birthday!

Bri got Matt some Bakugun cards for his birthday. This is the new and upcoming thing with the boys his age.

And sweet Riley!

HAPPY BIRTH-DAY ALEXANDER EDWARD TORRES!

Today Ed & I became grandparents to Alexander Edward Torres. Alex was born at 1:30 am by c-section to Ed Jr. & Yani down in Miami, Fl. He weighed in at 6lbs. 14 oz. (I think)...we keep getting different numbers. Mom & baby are doing great. We are very excited and blessed about this new addition to our family. We cannot wait to meet Alex in April when we visit!
