laurie,
how is lucas doing? riley's hanging in there. we had a party for my husband's birthday on saturday, and she got sooo spoiled by everyone there. it was very bittersweet, wonderful because you could tell she aboslutely loved all the attention-as always-but also at the same time wondering if this was the last time some of them would see her. she is just so awesome, such a loving girl, i can't even imagine what it will be like without her. i was getting pictures together and saw ones from her birthday and Christmas, and holidays, and got so sad thinking that things just won't be the same without her. but she's here now, so i have to just cherish every single moment of time we have with her.
