ABC's and twinkle-twinkle remix

Riley has been practicing her ABC's and doesn't need mommy's help anymore to get through the whole song.  She can also sing "twinkle twinkle little star" the whole way through.  These two songs are a bedtime requirement at our house, but she really sings them all day long.  I have been trying to get her on video singing the songs but every time she sees the Flip, she wants to watch herself!  Finally Andrew and I got her in the car.  If it looks like the video camera is "hiding" - it is!  Also, we found out that Cordi Rickert is a huge Riley fan and likes to watch our ABC video (over and over).  So, we are dedicating this video to Cordi.

Andrew's Trip

Andrew left me and Riley at home and traveled across the pond to see Brian and Wendy in Germany.  They didn't sit still - and quickly made their way to Ireland, the Malone "mother land".  They had a great time visiting the Guinness factory and drinking a pint or two or ten....They also took a quick trip to Belgium.

Wendy had to put up with the boys for the whole week, but I think everyone had a very good time.  Andrew said it was very weird not having to worry about Riley every minute, but he had a nice break.
