A great weekend

We've been so busy lately! Matt and I had date night on Friday night (FINALLY!) and it was awesome. We tried really hard to NOT talk about the girls the whole time! Our great friends, the Houstons, came over yesterday with their beautiful daughters Malain and Jackie. The girls were so sweet to Reagan and Riley and will someday make excellent babysitters! It was so much fun to see Katie and Jason again too...we love them so much.
The girls also went to their first big party this afternoon! Their friend, Knox, turns 1 year old in a few days and had his party at the South Carolina Aquarium! It was so much fun and Matt and I met so many nice grown ups too!
Tomorrow we are taking the girls downtown to meet some really special people to us. A group of little girls from the church we've been going to (St. Michaels) got together when they heard about Riley and formed prayer teams. They did this entirely on their own. They formed teams and some would pray for her when they woke up in the morning, some would pray for her during their lunchtime and the others would pray for her before dinner. They sent her pictures and cards and their parents wrote us letters too. I can't tell you how special these girls are to us, and it's amazing that we've never even met them yet. But they have been DYING to meet Riley (and Reagan too) and since Riley has finally been cleared to be around people...now is the time! So, we're going down as a family to meet the girls and thank them for all of their prayers and love and support. I'm going to try not to cry!
We've spent the majority of the weekend watching the girls in their silly Johnny Jump Up things. We hung them from the entryway hall right by the dining room. The girls are bigger now and we thought that they loved them a few months ago...but they REALLY love them now. Here is a quick video so that you can see them in action! Pay special attention to Riley's feet. Hilarious. Reagan has the jumping thing down really well! Riley is working on it...mostly looks like she's running/tap dancing. It makes us laugh so hard!
Hope that you all had a wonderful weekend too!
