Yesterday was Riley's family shower. It was quite good. There were a number of clothes I took home for Jericho. (kidding) The cake was one of the cutest baby shower cakes I've ever seen and my cousin Emily made it. One of the highlights was Megan opening a present that Jericho had got for Riley. We made a card and put pictures in of them and wrote this note:
"To my cousin:
I like it when you come to my house and when you let me play with your soother. I like it when our Moms take pictures of us and when you like to play with my toys. I like that you are only a little bit smaller than me and that soon we’ll be the same size. You are an okay kid and I like you.
I got you a little something and hope you like it cause I do! Have fun trying on all your new clothes!"
Jericho had fun with all the attention and you could barely tell he was teething and not feeling well - runny nose. We walked there from our house and I was able to get some exercise in the slight drizzle. Meanwhile, Riley received a lot of great stuff like rainboots and a rainjacket...that we really could have used...lol.
We went to the doctor this morning to make sure he didn't have anything else wrong besides the leaky nose and all is good. Plus, he weighs 17 lbs, 4 oz now! He's still on the same 25th percentile, but he's growing with the curve which is good.
Enough with all that... I've noticed a few people have deleted their blogs. Not just stopped writing, but full-on deleted. I don't know how I feel about that. I guess some might feel like a blog is very personal and just don't want that info out there anymore, and I can understand that. I just don't know if I could ever delete this. I'm working on printing it out - but I'm copying it into a word document so I can play with it a bit. A lot of what I have printed here is stuff I want to put in Jericho's scrapbook. I'm only up to when I was 6 months pregnant and I already have over 60 pages. So I might have to make it a really small print.
I guess the only way I would delete this is if I printed it all off and had another format for keeping track of stuff that goes on with me and my family. There have been a few times Nate and I couldn't remember when something happened so we just looked it up on the blog. I also might delete it if I found my readers never made comments or just seemed bored with it. Even then, I have people who read and don't comment but still enjoy it...so we'll see. For now, count me in on the blogging game. I'm just getting started.

I promise I'm reading. I'm not posting as much right now but I'll get back in to it.
Had a blast with you guys on Sat night.
I'm keeping my blog as well. Lately I've been really busy to put the time into it but once I'm settled into my new home I'll be back to blogging.
Cute pictures of the boys!
Are you ever going to put link on your blog? (smile)

Michelle:
You guys are a blast too. I'm not really referring to people who don't post much because I have times I don't blog for awhile... Mostly just sad when people delete them is all.
Shannon:
I like checking up and seeing what your family is up to, so keep it up! I am excited for when you move and we can keep in touch.. I'm still not sure what link you want...
Mom.:
If you ever got bored with the blog then I would KNOW there was something wrong, yes those boys are cute.
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog and especially all your photos! You and your sister sure have beautiful babies!!! I sure look forward to working Saturdays in the Burnett nursery so I can hold them!
Hello... This may sound odd, but you don't know me. I'm Heather Toews' yankee cousin Janet, living in Los Angeles against my will (sort of)... I was checking out Heather's Europe blog and clicked the link to yours. And I ended up reading almost all of it! Jericho is absolutely ADORABLE and you are a really funny writer. If I lived near you, I'm sure we'd be friends. :) Feel free to visit my blog, although I don't think it's as amusing as yours...
Thanks Janet!! That's really funny. I'm glad SOMEONE finds me humourous in some way. It's a big blog so that would have been a lot of reading... so happy you liked it..How do I get to your blog??
SARA! I read your blog all the time and I hope that you don't stop because it is exciting to know about your life and your cute baby! I know I don't commment that often but I am a faithful reader :) By the way the cake was really beautiful!
Talk to you soon, Melody.
