hi...

Just thought I would check in with any body who still reads this thing. We are well and just plugging right along through life. Lyla had her 6 month check up. She is 13 lbs 25 1/2 inches long. Her weight is in the 10% tile and her head is in the 95% tile. (She's a Setzer) The doctor said we need to work on her ability to sit up unassisted. But if you ask me how in the hell is she supposed to sit up with a 10th % tile body and a 95% tile head. Can you say orange on a toothpick? Anyway we did our vaccines which as always she was a trooper! She is also scooting on her belly a little bit and rolling and rolling and rolling some more. I can put her on the carpet and leave the room and when I come back she is over on the hardwood floor?!?!

As for Riley, she is just full of herself. She has become a huge Beyonce fan within the last few weeks. She loves to sing "All the Single Ladies" she can even do the hand thing during the part where Beyonce sings "if you like it then you shoulda' put a ring on it". I am requesting that CD for my birthday I think Riley and I will both enjoy that. As Riley can tell you Thursday is a busy day for her. We shuffle/rush from Kindermusik to Dance and then on to Swimming. We also have choir practice Thursdays but we completely spaced it tonight.

As for John and I, we are staying busy. He is currently installing a new dishwasher!!! We finally caved and bought a new one since our old one always sound like a mack truck was coming through the house and every thing came out just as dirty as it went in. I am still looking for a job a long with the rest of America. Unfortunately I am not having any luck. I am also in the countdown to 30. ughhh. Only a little more than a month left in my twenties.

Please keep praying for John's uncle Curtis, his cancer has spread through out his body. We are hoping for some miraculous healing to take place. He has a six year old daughter that needs more time with her father. (As does the rest of his family.)

Life is a Circus

Well you would think since I am unemployed I could find more time to update my blog. However, things have been crazy. I have had a cold and we are staying busy with projects around the house and trying to find fun things to do around town. I am trying to get in the swing of being a stay at home mom. However, I am still looking for a job (a long with half of America).

As you may be able to tell from our pictures John and I took the girls to the Circus on Saturday. We had a great time. The girls seemed to enjoy it. Riley was a little scared at first, but really enjoyed it. Lyla likes to go anywhere as long as she knows I (my breasts) are close by. She is very clingy much more so than Riley ever was.

Riley just finished her first round of swimming lessons and is doing well with them. She is also still loving dance class and Kindermusik. Lyla is starting to eat some solid baby foods. Although she seems to get gas from everything I eat or anything she eats. She also started Kindermusik last week and loves it. Her hair is all falling out and starting to come back blond just like her sister did at this age. I think she is also trying to get some teeth but nothing has popped through those gums yet.

I am sure I am leaving out tons of details about our lives but I am a bit tired and ready go to bed. This week my Aunt "Honey" is having her pacemaker replaced, so pray for her. My mother in law is running the half marathon this week so we will be cheering for her. We are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newest Setzer and hoping the baby will turn on his/her own sometime this week. I will try to up date more often. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Prayer Requests

There are a few people in my life that need to be lifted up in prayer at the moment.
Garrett Sheehan, is a 6 year old boy who is a friend of my mother's. He is currently losing his battle with cancer. Also, his parents who I can not even imagine being in their shoes.
Curtis Setzer, John's uncle who this week learned he has more cancer spots on his liver, and is currently in Philadelphia under going intense Chemo.
Dennis Setzer, John's Dad who just went via ambulance to the ER because his heart is in atrieal fib.

I pray that the Lord can place his healing hands on all three of these people, and ease any pain and suffering that they may be going through. Also, I pray that you can be with their families and give them the strength to get through these illnesses. May God bless you all.
