Our week w/o daddy
Since hubby is recovering in the hospital, it’s just been Rylie and I for the past week. She is aware that daddy is in the hospital because he is sick and knows he will be coming home soon. She also makes sure to pray for him by asking God “help daddy feel better please.”
I didn’t want Rylie to feel any emptiness without her daddy around, so I made sure our days were filled with lots of fun and spent with our family and friends who showered her with love. I’m so thankful for my sister who came over almost everyday to help me out and for my mom who made sure our fridge was stocked with food. During this past week, Rylie went through a growth spurt, started talking even more than she does now, and all of a sudden wants to sing every song she’s been learning. I didn’t want hubby to miss out on this and made sure to document this time with lots of pictures and videos.
Here she is giving her car a wash and giving the flowers some much needed lovin’
Her favorite way of getting from one place to another.
The girls meeting each other for the first time.
Playing with the sailboat
but soon wanted to go swimming. I convinced her to come out by telling her I would take her to the beach the next day.
got a nice tan that day.
My sister asked, “Rylie can you put eemo’s hair up?” She immediately replied, “OK!” and got to working. Not bad, eh?
Evy- this one’s for you! Thanks for everything! We
you.
simple crafting with paper, origami paper, and glue. do you notice that her ‘white baby’ has been replaced?
Her sweet little friend Shepherd gave this to her. Rylie named her ‘woman.’ I accidentally called the doll ‘baby’ and Rylie corrected me by saying, “Iz not baby. Iz woman.” I haven’t made the same mistake again.
Another project complete and on her art wall. She is so proud of the wall and says, “Rylie did allllll dat.”
More crafting supplies I picked up today for a great deal (all under $10) at Michael’s.

Awww, what a blessing that you have good people around you to give you support and encouragement…there’s nothing like family and good friends to lend a hand…especially, your mommy making yummy food,………I just read your husbands ordeal….as hard to read, i’m also glad the doctors are not taking his condition unnoticed and doing what they can do………That alone is a huge blessing……..Tell him to hang in there and that he is on his way to getting better…….definitly, makes us notice how our health is something we need to take care of……..on the other hand…..Is that Riley? WOW!!…she’s grown so much and soo cute……she looks like she has a cute personality that will have me cracking up or saying…..awwwww……What a blessing to see her grow into a young woman…….from some reason, she had a growth spurt……..she’s saw tall her features are really coming out…she definitly loosing her baby fat…….BTW, i love Micheals and can stay there forever………Great job mom, and thank God she still so young to understand whats going on….I hope your okay and sounds like your husband is doing better……….
I’m sorry to hear about your husband. So glad that you have your sister here to hang out with. My sister’s been helping me too. Sisters are the best. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Hope your husband has a speedy recovery.
Can Rylie come and wash my car too? She’s so cute. Now’s the best time to buy art supplies because of all the Back to School sales. I bought a box of 24 crayola crayons for $.24 at Target!
is your husband back at home now? wishing him a quick recovery. love rylie’s pink oversized sunnies! she’s stylin!
@HSookiC - not yet, but i think he will be discharged any day now. he is doing a lot better.
@babymomof2 - thanks for your sweet thoughts. you’re right, rylie thinned out significantly this past month.
@Rycecakes - thanks connie!
@jiNNie_g - lol… she’ll probably jump on the offer if you just hand her a water hose.
that is so great how you’re getting so much help and support from your family! it can be pretty tough taking care of a toddler by yourself w/out daddy being present. i hope your hubby is regaining his strength back and can come home soon to be reunited w/ his two girls! by the way, i’m not sure how old rylie is, but she looks soooo TALL!! YES!…isn’t michael’s the best?..especially when you use their 40%n off coupons?!
I hope your hubby comes home soon…glad he is recovered. I can’t wait to see Rylie! She got so tall!
i seriously think rylie is a genius. she can do things that jacob still can’t do! =) hope your MR is feeling better. you guys must’ve been so scared.
@pifamily - @baby_beck - @munchkincho - thanks for your warm wishes! he finally got discharged today (yay!) and resting up his parents’ before he comes home on Friday.
