A Splendid September/October

September/October was filled with so many wonderful visitors and events.  We had so much fun with Mike Sakraida (Riley's Godfather), Nick Schiavi, the Barfield Family, and my Mom visiting us!  Riley was quite smitten with Mike.  She just thought he was the coolest person ever playing Elmo puppet with her and making her laugh.  We also showed Mike the very best of San Diego which included the Mt. Soledad Memorial and some great breweries in town.  It was a beer fest Emery style which Matt had to be the main tour guide since I cannot partake in the adult beverages at this time. 

Then we had Nick come in for the weekend and it was great to see him out this way again. 

Donna, Tyler, Brooks and Macy came in town for the weekend and we had so much fun!  Riley got a bit sick so she wasn't able to hang out as much but recovered towards the end of their trip which made for some great photos. 

Halloween is a HUGE deal in our neighborhood so we really had to step it up.  My mom came into town because Halloween is one of her favorite events and her trip did not disappoint!  Not only did we have a good group come over for some drinks and food but we also quite the crew of trick-or-treaters with us.  Riley was Boots from Dora the Explorer (her favorite show right now) and it was the cutest costume.  PLUS there was a haunted house a few houses down from us which I heard was incredible.  I did not go but Matt and everyone else said it was insane.

Her reward after a long day

I'm currently 28 weeks now and feeling every kick and jab.  She is a feisty one that likes to act up at night so far (lets hope that changes once she out)!

Also, we have started potty training with Riley.  It's has its ups and downs and we just hope by the time the new baby arrives she will be out of diapers!
