Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 31st birthday and Riley gave me the best gift, she started walking! She took about 4 steps to Chris and about 4 back to me. Then we got out the camera, and she wouldn't take any more than 2 steps at a time. So here's a tiny little taste of what she can do, until we can get more. Which I'm sure will be very soon! Riley is very, very proud of herself, and we are too. And as soon as Hailey realizes what her sister is up to, I am sure she'll be right behind.

Chris' present to me for my birthday was a trip to Loon Mountain in New Hampshire for the weekend. It was actually a 30th birthday celebration since I didn't have much of a birthday last year (two month old twins will almost always prevent much celebration). We haven't skied in 10 years, but it came back very quickly and we had a blast. Thanks to Josh & Kristina and Larry & Andrea for coming up too and celebrating with us. The girls stayed home with Jade and Grandma Gerry, and I think they managed OK without us. I'm glad that Riley waited for us to get back before walking!


Here are me and the girls cuddling on the couch before bedtime sometime last week.
