It's been AGES since I've posted anything. May got the best of me (with the three girls end of year activities (ballet recitals, choir performances, soccer parties & preschool graduation), swim team starting (wow - it was fun, but it is ALL swimming for 6 weeks - we basically lived at the pool - ha ha), our 10th anniversary celebration/trip (wonderful - a week without the girls in the caribbean - just amazing) - I think May has become busier than Christmas, but I love it - smiley face) plus the virus on my computer/email - I just didn't have the energy to update the site...then in June with my dad's accident (you can check his progress at www.caringbridge.org/visit/frankriggle - we are so very thankful for how far he's come and the many, many prayers from everyone) a whole new element was added....smiley face
It's nearly September and I'm catching up....Chris' ironman training is in full swing (it's hard to believe we'll be going to Kona, Hawaii in 5 weeks - he has been working soooo hard it's incredible), Lexy has turned 6 and started kindergarten (she's LOVING it) - she had her first sleepover this summer (at a friend's house & for her birthday party - wow), Hannah just turned 4 and started tennis lessons (she couldn't wait to join her big sister on the courts) and is our fireball - she keeps us on our toes - smiley face. Abby started swimming and is going off the diving board at the pool...she can't wait for her 3rd birthday party (we picked a fun place called PLAY and she asks about it every day - smiley face)....she's finally potty trained (bedtime at all) - imagine the savings - we are done with diapers after 6 years - woo hoo - smiley face!
I have more pictures than I can post (no surprise - smiley face)....but you can always check them out at our snapfish account - I'm good about uploading there - if you'd like to, let me know & I'll email you the link...but I did put a few up here....we've had a great summer despite the worries of my dad's accident & hope you have too.
