Photo Shoot Continued...











GG did a great job taking our family pictures. What a cute idea she had to put Riley in my dirt bike helmet...I won't say it wasn't a challenge :0) but it ended up really cute.

Riley's First Photo Shoot








GG (my Mom) has been out here helping me and James with Riley and while she has been here she has been going crazy taking pictures of grandbaby #4. These pictures were taken up at the school in the photo studio. GG was having a field day. Thanks GG for all your help with Riley and for the amazing pictures.

Bringing Baby Riley into the World

The Proud Father: James was so amazing, he kept me calm (along with the spinal block) during my c-section. My surgery went amazing...I guess my southern twang comes out when I am drugged up, according to the doctor. But seriously, c-sections are the way to go, it was amazing and I am healing quickly.
This was the first time I saw Riley, once she was born they took her to be put under an oxygen tunnel. She was born at 8:11am and I didn't see her until 11:30ish. Needless to say the picture below I was still recovering from being drugged up. I can't explain the feelings I had when I saw James bring our little angel into my room. I just thought that she was the most amazing thing that I had ever seen, aside from the first time I saw James :0) Overall, all I can say is that the Lord is amazing and so is my Husband. He has been so good with Riley, he isn't one of those husband's that doesn't do anything. He is very hands on. We have an amazing family.
