Here I am!

Well - I got asked where I was in the blogging world - whoops... here I am!

Jonah is doing great- he is home and learning what life is like with a loving mommy, daddy, two doggies and no wires or tubes! We are so excited for the Rye family.

On our home front - Brie and Sadie have been doing silly thing lately. Especially Brie.

Saturday night - I went out to Walgreens in search of some super cheap Pull Ups (which I scored basically for FREE!) Any ways - Ben was home with the girls and he was upstairs (the girls' room is downstairs). He thought I was home and kept on working at the computer. Then he heard Brie awake and talking, but he figured that since I was home I'd put her back to bed. Well several minutes later he heard even louder noises and figured out that I was not in fact home. We have gated off the hallway that contains our guest room, guest bathroom, and the girls' room. Sadie was sleeping upstairs and Ben went into their room and could not find Brie. We keep the doors to the other two rooms shut - but she was NOT in her room. He thought that maybe she had climbed over the gate somehow so he turned out of their room, only to find her little head popping up from a large cold air return vent we have in the floor. Ya know - the kind that are huge and wooden? Yup she had pulled that up from the floor and climbed inside. Wow. He called me after he got her back in bed to have a good laugh with me.

Then Sunday night, I put Brie to bed and came downstairs after hearing her up (this is a repeated occurrence each night - she won't stay in bed.) I went in and noticed she had been over near the changing table - so I cleaned a few things up that she had gotten into and then turned around to see her standing on the floor - leaning over onto her bed snuggling her blankie and she had her footie pajamas half off -and her little naked tushie was just sitting there for me to giggle at. It was quite adorable. Oh that child.

Last night, she SCREAMED and SCREAMED when I shut the door to her room. And she'd immediately get out of bed. At one point she cried "I want daddy, I want daddy!" Unfortunately for her daddy was at a meeting.

In a few weeks I'm going to a 4 day Pastor's Wive's getaway with my very good friend Cari. This will be the first time I've been without a child either inside of me, or physically out of me for almost 3 years. (3 years ago April was when we got pregnant). I'm a bit nervous, but I've gt an amazing team watching my kids, and we're all praying Sadie takes her breastmilk from a cup with no problems.

That's what's been going on in my life - how about yours?
