a nap

they say, 'if she is a sleeper then she is a keeper.' well our riley jo is here to stay either way - but she is a sleeper as well. maurie and i have been resting like we haven't rested in quite some time. going to bed early and rising late - with minimal interruptions from our newest hanauer. i am off work for the next several weeks and maurie will not return to the council until october. friends and family have been instrumental in our recovery - bringing blessings of food and conversation. we have ventured out for coffee and haircuts, but not much else. today we did have an appointment with riley's doc - great guy who brought even more good news. she is eating well and gaining back weight quicker than expected. so, all is well here in cheviot, ohio. if you call and we don't answer - we are probably taking a nap.
