Well it's June 29th and I haven't posted anything for June. We left Farmington on June 17th and headed to Denver where we were scheduled to catch a plane (Jet Blue thanks to Gary and Kayelyn! thanks guys). We flew the red eye (which I swore the last time we did that coming home from Hawaii that I would never do again!) beginning at 11:00 pm and landed the next morning at 5:30 in Boston. From there we flew to North Carolina and then Mat and Tara picked us up and we drove 1 1/2 hrs. to Columbia, South Carolina. Tara's dr. told her we should head on out because she was dilated to a 3 and wouldn't last until Monday. It was fun to see the kids. Tara certainly looked "ready". However to make a long story shorter, she did last until Monday. (We did get to attend their ward here in Columbia and they certainly do live up to their pledge, to be "the friendliest ward in the church." I feel much better knowing what a great bunch of people there are here to watch after "my kids". ) Monday morning at 6 am we were at the hospital for Tara's induction. After a 15 hour labor (which is another whole story) a beautiful little girl, Ryleigh Lucinda Kale Rigg was born. She weighed in at 7# 5.8 oz. and was 20 inches long. I love being there when a new little one makes their way into our hearts. The kids were thrilled to say the least. Now today she is 8 days old and is such a good baby. I am so grateful for that because with Mat's schedule as a drill sgt. she will be alone from about 4 am to 8 or 9 each night 6 to 7 days a weeks for the next 2 years. On Sunday Ryleigh was blessed. Tara can still barely sit so she was blessed at home. They wanted Major and I to be there and this was the last Sunday Mat could guarantee he would not be working. She looked beautiful. Tara asked me to make Ryleigh's blessing dress and had actually picked out the pattern when they were in Farmington in December. Most babies are blessed after a month or so and have had a chance to grow a little. Little Ryleigh was less than a week old so her dress was a little big. I found a needle and some white thread and was able to take it in by hand so that it didn't drown her! Anyway time is flying by so fast and before you know it we will have to return home and it's going to kill me to have to leave. They are hoping to come and spend a couple of weeks in Farmington the first part of December but she will be so changed! All in all it has been a wonderful time!
