The Time of Sleeping In and Long Showers

I know it has been quite a few weeks since blogging. You know how when you are on vacation, your time is filled with something, but it is never something productive? And the sound of doing something sounds like the most unappealing thing you could ever do?

Yeah, that has been the last few weeks.

And it has been awesome!!

Chris and I volunteered to make one dinner a week. This is so that we can help out a bit, but also so we don't become so rusty on making food that we starve once we are set out on our own in 6 months. We also pitch in here and there with cleaning, but all in all, there is no way we can repay Chris' family for all that they do for us! It has been a huge blessing that they have allowed us to live here with them, and we couldn't ask for more gracious hosts.

She loves having her own chair at the table!

We are loving the weather here! It is still a tad nippy from the humidity, but it has been great to be able to go out on walks when the sun is out.

She likes it as much as we do! ...at least how it tastes

Mimi and Papa are so cute with Riley! I love that she has been able to get to know her grandparents (and Ben) while we have been here.

She has become more adventurous in the tub! She seems to enjoy kicking around these days. And then sometimes she enjoys lounging back on her dad and licking his elbows. Just depends on the day.

I am really going to miss having Chris and the family around so much as they go to work, but I am looking forward to being a stay-at-home mom now!! This is what I have always wanted to be since I was a little girl, so I want to enjoy it! However, the time of Sleeping In and Long Showers has now come to an end.
