Enjoying Time Off
I have been enjoying my time off from work since May 25th. I don’t go back until June 17th. That’s a total of 22 days off. I don’t think I’ve been off that long since Erin was born in 1997!! I am really liking spending time with all the kids and of course with Riley. I haven’t seen Jake much since he is staying home with Sam because of baseball. We haven’t done much swimming because the water in the pool is cold because it’s only been in the 90’s during the day and 70’s at night which is unusually cool for the Phoenix area.

Welcome to Riley Shea Young
On Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 5:54 pm, we welcomed our beautiful Riley into the world!! I am so thankful that her Mommy and Daddy allowed me to be a part of this joyous moment. Jenny had a pretty rough time, but she is now home resting and on the mend. From the moment she was born, Riley has been surrounded by all the people that love her. Uncle Jake proclaimed with tears in his eyes that “she is so gorgeous”. Aunt Tara has learned to change diapers. Aunt Erin thinks she is so lucky to just be able to hold her since, in her words, “I can’t even take care of a plant.“
It is just wonderful to have a new baby in the family!!

It’s almost Riley-time!!
Tara, Erin and I drove down to Maricopa last night after I got out of work because Jenny’s pre-eclampsia has necessitated her labor being induced. So Riley will probably be born tomorrow. The doctor has started the steps to get her ready for tomorrow. So, the next fews days is going to be very exciting!! I can hardly wait !!
