Auntie Christine and Grandma visit!

We just enjoyed a visit from Matt's sister and mom. Riley loved spending time with them. We went to Lido Key and walked around St. Armands Circle, where Matt was very into trying on dresses. We spent time at the beach cafe and grandma took Riley on a shopping spree for new fall clothes. Grandma and Christine found a sandbar with a huge amount of whole sand dollars. We all collected a bunch of really pretty shells and sand dollars. We also enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Sandbar restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. One morning we took Riley minature golfing for the first time. He got his own ball, but wasn't to interested in the club. Riley got the hang of the game really quickly, he ran each ball right up to the hole and drop it in! He was looking at us all funny, wondering why we were trying to use clubs! Thanks so much for coming to visit Auntie Christine and Grandma we already miss you two!

Riley the Builder

Grandma Albertson sent a package to Riley yesterday that had an adorable tool set in it. Riley loves his new Bob the Builder tool belt. He walks around and pretends to help dad fix everything. He gets out his screwdriver and wears his hardhat-it is precious:) Grandma also sent him a really cool Thomas the Train backpack. Riley looks like a little first grader with it on! Thank you Grandma and we will see you soon!

I'm going to be a big brother!

"I am pretty excited because I am going to be a big brother. My mommy is 15 weeks along, which means I get to meet my new sibling in 25 weeks! Mom says that my sibling will be here around March 8th! I also just got done spending a ton of time with my granny bird and Gaga. We went to Chucky Cheese and the Beachhouse so I could get my favorite Calamari! I have had a great week. It was daddy's birthday so we went to Olive Garden and got a huge cake. I kinda thought I was going to get some presents, but then mom reminded me that it was DADDY'S birthday. We are getting ready for another hurricane. Mom and I just got back from a walk and the winds are picking up. The waves are huge, it should be scary! I have my flashlight all ready."
