Summer fun and rainy days

So I finally logged on to blog thinking it had definitely been awhile and I needed to catch up on posting pictures . . . and then i realized with astonishment that it had almost been a full month . . . lazy me. Kristin even just had a baby and was only absent from her blog for less than a week. I have no good excuse for this lapse in time other than the lazy days of summer slipping by me. I apologize to those of you who have been checking regularly only to find the same old pics staring back at you, and for the rest of you . . . well it probably doesn't matter either way :) Over the past few weeks we have had a lot of rainy stormy days where we have been cooped up inside playing games over and over again, and probably watching a little too much tv as well. But on the days where the sun was out we tried to take full advantage by going to pools, having playdates, playing outside, going for walks with enzo, etc. There has also been those days where Riley just can't stand being cooped up anymore and decides to put on her rain boots and hat and convince mommy to go "outside, outside . . . now mommy!!! outside!! . . . pplllleeeeeeaaaassssseee!" followed almost always by a hug and a kiss . . . now how can i say no to that. tiff took some really cute pics at her house on one of those rainy afternoons, after elli introduced her to an umbrella just her size, with a puppy dog on the end no less. she was so excited it has gone everywhere with us for two weeks solid, rain or shine. she is also a little motor mouth lately, but in a good way. david and her have taken to calling eachother "sweetie pie" so has soon has he gets home from work she has to run to the door and say "hi sweetie pie," then he returns the favor. it's just about the cutest thing i have ever heard, right below "luv you mommy, luv you daddy, luv you enzo" which we hear every night before bed. well i know it's not much, but it's all i have for you right now . . . and hopefully it won't be another month before i write more :)
