Summer Fun

Jeff and I have really enjoyed having this summer off together. I cant believe that in 2 more weeks, I'll have to return to work. But i do feel blessed to be able to return for only 3 days a week (tuesday, wed, and thursday). And that for the first 2 weeks, she'll still be at home with Daddy. After that, (hopefully) she'll be staying with my cousin Tracy. I cant think of ANYONE I'd rather keep my baby. It'll be hard enough leaving this sweet face.
Last Friday, Rhyan and I enjoyed a night out with the girls while Jeff played softball. Rhyan didnt make the all girl pic (she was asleep anyways). Macaroni Grill+lifelong friends=good times!Ok, so i'm terrible at getting good pics of memorable days. But this pic of Jeff and his baby girl was our token fathers day pic. For fathers day I got jeff some krispy kremes for bfast and then cooked dinner (pork chops, not quite finished baked potato's :-(, mac and cheese and greenbeans followed by banana pudding for dessert!). We had Jeff's brother and Liz over for dinner. Jeff's parent were out of town so we'll celebrate with them this coming weekend. The only sad thing from the day is that i very much miss my daddy... and really wish he could have been a part of Rhyan's life. But overall, it was great celebrating with Jeff his first fathers day. He has become such a great daddy!

This has GOT to be my fav pic of alltime of her (so far). Her little fro is just perfect, her eyes are beautiful, her cheeks are chubby and that smile is presh! Gosh, I love her!!!And the final pic... Jeff and I got a jacuzzi a couple of weeks ago off of craigslist for a steal and have been working to get it up and running. Monday evening, after Rhyan was tucked in for the night, we took a soak. It was so nice! We still had some cleaning to do on the cover but it was basically ready to use. So yesterday, i went out to clean the cover and found this "little" 5 foot long or so guy hanging out between the tub and the house. He slithered under the jacuzzi and then stuck his head out. YUCK! Jeff tried to coax him out so he could kill him (even though he says he's harmless and not to worry... i say the only good snake is a DEAD snake) but the fella retreated never to be found again. Jeff says the snake is probably long gone. I dont believe it and am forever weary. Shivers down my spine!

I am so grateful for the timing of Rhyan's birth. The opportunity for the 3 of us to be at home together this summer has been incredible. Jeff and i were worried about getting on each others nerves, but we've been so busy that we've really just made a great team and gotten stuff done.

Well, we've got a wedding and a family get together this weekend so i'll try to get a few good pics and post again next week!
