Rylie is sick! (and other random things)

Our Rylie girl is sick! She has a fever, so we're going to the doctor this afternoon. Hopefully it is just a virus and not an ear infection. The poor thing is burning up and has hardly eaten anything. She even fell asleep watching Little Bear, which she never does because that's her favorite show. We've had a week and a half of sickness at our house, and I'm ready to be done with it!
We managed to feel well enough to go to Luke's big birthday party. (see Saturdays post for pictures)
Tonight our friend, Chantal is having her Bridal Shower. We are so excited for her and Justin. Ryan has had the honor of doing their premarital counseling and I get to do the devotional tonight and help out with the shower. It's so fun to watch them prepare for their new life together.
Rylie is being so expressive lately. She keeps saying "Oh, that's beautiful!", or "Oh, that's lovely!", etc. She will say this about all kinds of things from the mundane to the things that really are beautiful. She's also made up her own song about worms. She wiggles her finger and sings, "worm, worm, worm . . . " you get the picture. It's pretty cute. She's been asking me, "count with me" a lot lately too. Ryan and I just keep looking at each other amazed at the things she keeps saying!
