Riley and Darrell - Go Red Sox!!

It is such a nice day today here in Abilene. Darrell and Riley dressed up in their Boston Red Sox shirts and we went outside and took pictures. Don't they look cute. We are obviously big fans of the Boston Red Sox. We hope to take Riley to game at Fenway park when he get's older.

Adoption Finalization

This past weekend we went to Ft. Worth for Riley's adoption finalization. On Friday we spent the night with some friends of ours, Marcus and Cassandra Lopez and there two kids, Gabby and Gavin. We had a great time catching up with them. On Sunday we had lunch with some good friends of ours that used to live in Abilene and now live in Denton. They have a sweet baby boy, Sawyer who is one month older than Riley. They had a great time getting to know each other. On Monday we went to downtown Ft. Worth to the Family Law Court and had Riley's adoption finalization ceremony. It is so great to have everything finalized and know that we are a forever family. Below are some pictures of our weekend.

Riley is growing, growing, growing

Riley is now 7 months and is cuter than ever. He is doing new things all the time and is really enjoying a variety of baby food. I feel so blessed every day that God gave us Riley. I am reminded constantly of the unselfish love of his birthmother and am so grateful to her that she chose us to raise Riley. Adoption is such a wonderful thing. I wish more people were able to experience it.

Riley loves to get a bath and we have moved him from the baby tub to a blow up duck tub that fits inside the bathtub. As you can tell by the picture he loves it.
