Elliot and Rayn:)

we were so lucky to have my brother Ryan, his wife Beth, and the most exciting (no offense) their beautiful little baby girl! I have to say, though I may be biased, but us Parker kids have done a good job of popping out some really cute kids! Rayn and Elliot seem to be complete and total opposites! While Elliot is very loud, in your face, way active, and off the charts huge - Rayn is delicate, super sweet, actually coos and has the cutest little squeal, is just a little peanut. We had such a great time with them here. It was a very short visit but I am sure they ran from our chaotic house screaming! About every other sentence was "Paige and Danny, I don't know how you do it" we just shrug and wonder the same thing! Elliot solidified her status as a Scully by staying awake until at least midnight every night. I wasn't sure what was going on but the day everyone left, she went right back to her regular bedtime...party animal! Kyla and Logan seem to really like my relatives which is awesome! they even asked to stay at our house an extra day to spend more time with them and my grandma! I love my little niece! She is so cute and perfect. Beth looked like her fantastic self, fully recovered from being prego...at least physically:) All you mothers know that the mental part might never quite come back. We were able to have a nice little early surprise bday party for our mom and she was just in heaven having almost all of her grandchildren within arms reach! Braven and TK we love you too!! Speaking of...Happy 4th Birthday Braven! You are getting so big! I hope your swim party is awesome! Until next blog...coming very soon because Elliot keeps doing new things - i have to play catch up!

so much, so little time!

GREAT BIG LOVE TO THE SCULLY FAMILY!
Well...we are just a few days shy of 6 months old and our little girl is just getting so big so fast! She is sitting up by herself...as long as she doesn't decide to move anywhere, and she is rolling all over the place! She is sleeping through the night on a pretty regular basis (so great) and pretty much wants to get her hands on everything!!! She is still looking like she is going to be a redhead, though her hair hasn't really changed since she arrived. Her great big beautiful eyes are looking like they are going to be a green or brown of some sort...still a pretty non-descript color. She is so big and long...we go back to the doc next week where I am sure he will tell us she is off the charts:) We were lucky to be surprised by my uncle Bobby and aunt Susan on their way back home after dropping off their daughter in Conn where she was preparing to head to China!! It was so fantastic to see them after so long. they both looked and
seemed fabulous! Makes me wish that our family wasn't so spread out around the country. Danny is lucky to have all of his family in one place and can see them all when we visit. Kyla and Logan are growing at a rapid rate too! Logan spends his time doing it all...he is an amazing artist, collector, explorer, son, and brother! Kyla has been such a dream! She is a young lady now that is smart, articulate, thoughtful, loves to sleep in, a HUGE help with her siblings, really loves the computer and text messaging. We are so blessed with these children who are the most thoughtful human beings I have ever encountered.

Danny is now with his family in indiana helping take care of his mom and dad. his Mom, JoAnn, is a tiger. She has had to endure some medical procedures that have been pretty tough, yet she is so strong and recovering so well, like we knew she would. Danny's dad is also dealing with some complications. Our hearts are with them as they fight through this. Danny's niece, Jenna and her husband Luke, are about to have their little boy at any moment, so we can't wait to hear about the most amazing, happiest, and life changing moment of their lives!

this last picture was so classic, I had to put it up. It shows our kids in a nutshell! Sending great big hugs to you all!
