Whirlwind

This past month has been a whirlwind to say the least!  After my parents visit, we headed up north for a quick trip.  Our first stop was by my parents place and to Plymouth Wesleyan where Riley was dedicated.  After the Sunday service, we trekked to Michigan to stay a night with my sister (Kelly) so Riley could see the rest of the Dongell clan.  So great to see Jen, Brent, Brandon, and the kiddos.  Love and miss you all tons!

Shortly after our return to North Carolina, Brenton's parents dropped in to love on our little gal who fell in love with her grandparents.  Riley started to cry the day after all our company was gone as she was not held every second of the day.  Our sweet girl is having to grow up, though not by her choice!

Riley will be four weeks this Thursday and is getting a belly to match her plump little cheeks.  We are loving having more to love on.  We have been blessed that she is sleeping a six hour stretch at night on her own accord, though we have been learning to adjust to her new fussy behavior as she stays awake more throughout the day.  Guess there is no such thing as a baby that does not cry!  However, I must make the disclaimer that she is a good baby and we have had it pretty easy, not sure what we will do with a baby that is not naturally as peaceful!
