Still Alive







Sorry, I know it has been a while but, we have been really busy and things have just been a whirlwind. We spent three plus weeks in Asheville which was nice to be with my family who I never get to see. Riley had a great time with Pammy and my Grandparents as well as we got to see my dad and brother a couple of times. We also went to Hey Day at the Nature Center the Greek Festival, and last but certainly not least I got to go to my 11 year high school reunion. (I know it should have been 10 but hey we are slow.) It was really good to see old friends and catch up.

Riley has been doing well she is adjusting to all the major changes in her little life. Becoming a big sister, now staying home with mom, dad being gone to Dallas, us being in Asheville for so long. She also has her share of three year old moments but over all this kid amazes me. She is extremely funny!!! We went today and got the Aerial costume for Halloween. Her new favorite store is the Disney store. She is all about some princesses. Speaking of which our pink Disney princess book is missing if anyone has seen it let me know. It's a travesty every time we realize that it is missing.

Lyla had her eight week (2month) check up last week. She is 9lbs 13oz 22 inches long and her head is average size. Wheeew. (Setzer's have giant heads, Riley's head always measures in the 75% range.) She is a very happy baby most of the time as long as the boob is not too far. She loves to nurse.

I posted a ton of pictures on Picasa of our Asheville adventures and John has posted some from Dallas. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to keep posting on a more regular basis, but if not don't forget to VOTE on November 4th if not before.

Enjoying the Mtns.


Well hello my faithful blog readers (I don't know if I really have any but that sounded fun to say). We have been in the Mountains of WNC for over a week now and are having a good time with my mom and my dad's parents aka Grandma Patty and Granddaddy Mease.


Everyone has officially met Lyla she is adjusting nicely. She gets slightly fussy on certain days and I think it is partially my fault. I think she is very much affected by what I eat more so than Riley was. We went to the Greek festival last weekend and apparently Greek food does not agree with her tummy. Also, beans of any kind and broccoli do not agree with her little tummy either.


Riley is doing good she misses her daddy terribly but we are managing to stay busy. Yesterday was story time at the Library and today we went to the Health Adventure which is way nicer than it was when we were all kids. They still have the see through lady that Riley kindly pointed out to all in ear shot "Mommy that lady has boobies."


John is doing well in Dallas he is working 12 hour days 6 days a week to try and get the company caught up with all the damage from Ike. It sounds like a real mess in the Houston area. No one has power, the mail is not running, and the phones are down. It makes it really hard to get in touch with anyone. Anyway we miss John but we are doing well and looking forward to Thanksgiving when he can come home again.
