What's new with us??? Well . . .

We brought ALL of our bottles to the "hos-i-bal" to "give 'em to the babies who NEED 'em." It was a sad day at the Ries home. (Actually, Horsie, our resident humanitarian, was more excited about telling everyone the story about how he, now the big boy, brought his bottles to the babies at the hospital. But poor little Totty, who is too young to understand, had a few rough days . . . well, rough for her, but she is a Libra, so it wasn't too bad for me . . . she is pretty easy.) Daddy built the kids a sandbox in our backyard . . . they love it! He filled it with 16 bags of sand . . . Ries sandboxes run deep. We have the biggest pumpkin in the neighborhood Taylor is walking . . . she took her first steps by herself on Daddy's birthday (Aug. 17), but wouldn't let go of our hands really until the day after her first birthday, even though she had been able to walk for over a month. I guess she realized she was a big girl and didn't need our finger anymore! We are all going to be pirates for Halloween . . . this was taken last weekend at Boo at the Zoo . . . it was fun. I made this hat that Taylor is wearing into a headband though. It covered all of her hair and Charlie didn't like it . . . it's much cuter now!
