Riley's Dedication

Dedicating your child to the Lord is always a special occasion, but
this was a double celebration! Not only, did we dedicate Riley at our church
on Jan. 16, 2011, but we also celebrated my sweet mom's 66th birthday!
AND, it was my mother-in-law's birthday 2 days before!
It was a precious day and we got to spend it with the boys' grandparents,
their great-grandmother, aunt, uncle & cousins too!

It's always a birthday when we have cake or cupcakes!


Riley, we love you SO much!
You are such a precious gift to us and we thank God
for you everyday! Your smiles are infectious, your laughter so sweet,
and the joy you put in my heart is indescribable.
I love to watch you, play with you, and kiss your sweet cheeks everyday.
I am so thankful for you & Reid.
You make my days brighter, my heart more full,
and I will never be the same again now that you are in
my life. Thank you Lord for these precious gifts.
I am a very lucky woman and to be given the gift
of motherhood is absolutely priceless.
