Meet the Mauros

Okay, so I am new to this blogspot thing. I needed another thing to take up my time! I am hoping this site will help me chronicle the daily activities of the Mauro Family!

We are currently a family of 5 - PJ (dad), myself (mom), Riley (daughter), Bella (doggie #1), and Baxter (doggie #2). I am a pharmacist, my husband is a teacher and varsity football coach. We moved to Greenville a year ago, and we LOVE it! We live in a cute neighborhood where you can see the Blue Ridge mountains from our front door. It's really beautiful. My daughter Riley is now 5 1/2 months old. She was born on February 8, 2008. She is so much fun. She is learning to roll and she has just started eating rice cereal, which by the look on her face has to be just terrible! She is sort of going through a spell where she throws tantrums right before bedtime. She started this about a week ago. Once she falls asleep she will sleep a good 10 hours which is exciting for us.

Here is a picture of us last night (7/20) during our dinner social. Riley looks smooshed!

This is from Riley's baptism on June 22nd at St. James Episcopal Church. A lot of our family and freinds attended - Max (godfather), Becky (godmother), Grandma Mauro, Great-Grandma Mauro (GG), Great Aunt Rose, Lola (grandma in Tagalog), Grandaddy Jones, Uncle Bobby, Aunt Krista, Uncle Gene, Al, Suzie, Tom, Ally, and Bess. She is blessed to have such wonderful family!

We went to our first Greenville Drive game on 7/19. Riley was sporting her dad's sunglasses. PJ thinks she looks like Posh Spice! We actually bought her some baby banz and can't wait to see those cute little things on her sweet face!
