What a wonderful start to our weekend!!!

Today is a great day! After Ben's baseball games we swam all afternoon with Riley. The boys had such a great time with her. She is more like a sister to them than a niece. Riley was amazing in the pool--she had her floaties on but that did not stop her from jumping in, head going under water and loving it. She would say "Gi Gi Watch" and then she would jump in. Benjie taught all 3 of our children to swim and now he will carry on the tradition by teaching Riley. I think she will be without floaties and swimming under water by the end of summer.

Riley is so amazing. She turns 2 in July and already speaks so clearly. She is so smart and loves her Gi Gi and her Gi Gi loves her. This is going to be a great summer.

BRACES FOR BEN

It's been a long time since I have put up a post. Well, here it is 1 month into summer and still playing PLENTY of baseball. During all the excitement of baseball Ben had to get braces. It is amazing how much older they make him look. He is doing well except for the blisters that have formed on his lower lip. Any advice to ease pain we're listening......
