Poised to Perfection!

Loving her own cake!

Riley and Mommy were making agreements about her church etiquette, but Riley didn't hold up her end of the bargain. About halfway through the sermon, Ms. Prissy did quite the number and ruined her gown for the big day; hence, the naked little angel in all of the church pictures.

Joe and Jeannette flew in from CO for the big occasion. Riley was happy to have some extra time to meet and play with them.

Farewell to the Malires Family

Our dearest friends Christie and Michael recently moved to Huntsville. We had a wonderful evening playing with our Godchildren Cooper and Carter. We will miss them being so close. Riley misses her boyfriends terribly!

Happy New Year!

Ready for Times Square!
It was a quiet celebration for the 3 of us, but we did enjoy watching AU win the Chick-fil-a Bowl game! War Eagle!
Wishing you God's Blessings in 2008!

Merry Christmas!

Meghan and Matt came to share a few days right before Christmas with us.

Riley loved her cuddle time with Aunt Megs!

Daddy helped Riley open up her Christmas presents this year, but next year she will probably be ready to do some damage on her own.
Lots of fun to get into. ... Riley loves being read to. She listens intently to stories and enjoys looking at the pictures. She got many books for her presents from Mommy and Daddy.
We received the greatest present of all this year, our perfectly healthy little angel!
