Riley, Riley, Riley....

It's only February and Riley has already had a busy year, he had his tonsils and adenoids taken out on the first of this month, and he is still recovering from it. He was a trooper as they rolled him back for surgery, but that was the last time for the last three weeks! He is doing well now, his throat isn't sore at all, but he has had a tummy ache for the last 4 days, praying that it's clearing up! Getting ready to roll down the hall with Football Emmett, his new build a bear that he made just for his trip to the hospital. It has a recording of Kit and me telling Riley that we love him. Rolling out to the car, I know I didn't get it focused-but I think it's obvious how pitiful he looks compared to his before picture!















On a more pleasant note, he also got to go ice skating for the first time in January; we went with Uncle Dan, Aunt Summer, Emilie, and Elaina. He has only been roller skating twice, so I was a little worried about how sore and wet he and I would be by the end of this excursion. He and I did well together though, and he did even better with his Uncle Dan. We all had fun and froze, but managed to stay on two feet for the most part! He was also really excited about his spiked hair, I'm not sure if you can see it that well in the pictures.

Petit Le Mans

I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but it's close enough!! Back in the fall my brother Dan took Riley to the Petit Le Mans, which is a car race at Road Atlanta, which is only about 35 minutes from us. It was a nasty rainy and cold day (except for me and Kit because we were at a birthday party at Monkey Joe's!) but Riley had a blast with his Uncle, and I think Dan had fun showing Riley all around his world, he knew many people at the race and Riley even got to climb into a few race cars! Riley talked about it for weeks, especially about how his uncle let him have soda that had caffeine in it!!!
