I haven't posted anything new in over a week...things have been incredibly busy and crazy and exhausting around here. BUT....we're pretty much all unpacked now and the house is looking fantastic if I do say so myself! The girls are settling in and loving their new room and Matt and I are in love with the house and the area. We aren't really getting out too much just yet. It is HOT, HOT, HOT here in Charleston. It seems to be hot everywhere around the country but today the heat index here is 115...not exactly appropriate for taking little ones out and about. SO...we're hanging in the air conditioning and just getting used to the house!
We had our first brush with sickness...little Miss Riley came down with a case of RSV (basically a respiratory virus) and has been under the weather for a few days now. She's been to the doctor a few times (we LOVE our new doctor!) and seems to be on the mend. The sad thing about it (besides the fact that our little one is sick!) is that we had to cancel our trip to Michigan for the Sturgell family reunion. We're beyond bummed that we won't be there to see everyone and especially that we'll miss out on celebrating my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary. How amazing and it's bound to be a blast. We'll make sure that we get back up there as soon as we can but we can't travel with Riley not feeling well and risk her getting any sicker or infecting anyone else. I'm sad but hope that everyone there has a great time and we'll be thinking about them non-stop this weekend and wishing we were there.
We've been watching the world cup and are beginning to be convinced that the girls will be soccer players when they grow up! I hope so at least! I'm putting a picture on here of Reagan watching the USA win with Daddy and Maddie...she loved it!
In other update news....Riley is finally at 9 pounds. PHEW! She's working hard to keep it on with this virus and we're anxious for her to start catching up to Reagan (who is over 12 pounds now!...no exact weight update for her though.) My parents came last week to stay with me while Matt left for Colorado for work. They were amazing. They helped me so much it was ridiculous. They helped unpack boxes, clean the house and helped so much with the girls. I am so glad to be so close to them...it was such a relief to Matt that they were here to help me. We even took a break from all of the work and went out to Kiawah for a couple of days. We didn't get to go to the beach (it rained of course!) but it was so nice to just get away and not worry about unpacking or anything. My parents spoiled us rotten! My Aunt Conni and Uncle Ron also just came to visit yesterday and spent the night and helped us out again...we are so excited to be so close to them now and they are such a HUGE help to us in so many ways. We are also getting visits from some of my old friends from when I used to live in Charleston! One of my very best friends, Katie stopped by last weekend and even brought us dinner...it was amazing to see her (and the dinner was unbelievable). We're anxious to see more friends and meet new ones too! Hope everyone is doing well...I promise to be better about updates now that we're a bit more settled!
