Ok....well since nobody has posted yet again I will add more pics on the house and Rilan and our Christmas lists and such..... Also Jen is happy to let me try to put together the calender this year so I was thinking everybody would do two months again?....Let me know if there's anyone that can't or doesn't want to...also If anyone preferes any month, let me know in the next two weeks and I will organize it around that otherwise I'll let you know your months in a few weeks.. and I was hoping we could have them all done and sent to me by the first of November....Is everyone ok with that?

The house is about done except finishing touches, they've been working really hard sun up to sun down, Thains got the grass and edging and sprinklers all in.. we will just add some trees in the late fall winter and the basement is all painted and carpeted and we got a nice pool/ping pong table for just 70 dollars on KSL it was a great find the lower bathroom just needs finishing and lights and stairway rails and such. Also they have the deck all the way up and just needs some painting finishing touches and the garage is all done except finishing touches and the garage door :)....pantrys in and I've got the kitchen better organized and decluttered wich is really nice.

I'll include some more pics below or above however it works out as I've not mastered how to control this yet...:)

Rilan is now 9 weeks. He had his two month appointment last week and all looks good and healthy, he is now 24 1/4" (97% tile of avg babies length at age) and almost 13 pounds (95%tile)...so he's grown about 3 inches and 4 1/2 pounds from birth...he really does seem to grow daily he still has the most adorable smiles and coos and once in awhile a giggle, but those are still pretty rare...he's such a doll, a great blessing and a beutiful boy.....I still have my moments where I wonder what the heck I got myself into but it's the greatest thing too and really makes my days and joy fuller in life for sure.

On Thain and I we just celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We had a really nice dinner and soak in hot pools sans Rilan, Amber was sweet enough to watch him for a few hours for us..Crazy it's been so long and so short already. I'm so lucky to have a really loving husband whos hardworking and handy and fun. We have a great marriage I think though we have our moments from heck too but he really does bless my life a great deal and I've sure learned and am learning a lot about marriage and learning to live well and work well with someone through him....Ok on to pics.........sorry this is so long...
