This was at my Mimi's house and honestly the best picture we got of Elias the entire Christmas season. And it's super cute of Nana!

New Year's Eve 2010...I love this picture for two reasons.
1. It shows that we survived the worst GI bug ever (thanks to Grandma, who then got it a few days later).
2. It was the 10 year anniversary of our engagement! Or maybe 11? Clearly, I am not very good at math. We got engaged as the new millenium began...1999 to 2000...you figure out the math!
This past weekend we celebrated the infamous Riley man turning ONE! What a milestone and as my sister-in-law said...so grateful that his birth mom chose life one year ago and gave them the gift of R-I-L-E-Y!
When we got home from Winston-Salem, we got out in the lovely 50 degree warm snap and enjoyed some wagon time. I used one of my favorite features on our new camera...it's called "minature effect" and makes one part of the picture in focus while blurring out another.
Hope you all are enjoying your 2011 so far! We are staying busy...making decisions about Elias' school in the Fall (can you believe it is time????!!!) and planning for our boys' birthday trip in February. We are headed to the mountains and will be putting Elias on skis for the first time.
