As most of you know Riley turned 3 on August 3rd.The very last picture is him blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. We had a small party for him this year (just me and Eric and Riley), but plan to take him to the aquarium soon. A few days ago we got to go visit my grandparents for the afternoon and I got some really good pics of Riley with my Granny and Grandad. I really wish that my family was closer so we could see each other more often, I miss my cousins and Aunts and Uncles! (oh the days when we all lived in Rome and even La Grange). I miss the yearly summer trips to Six Flags, 4th of July on the levee with Grandad playing in the orchestra and brickly brownies at Gran's house and talking and playing games until 1am. Family Christmas' on the 23rd every year and calling J and G on christmas morning to see what Santa brought all of us. Going to watch Saturday morning soccer games in Meansville, me and J playing lego's while Mimi and G played "girly stuff". Roller skating in the basement at Aunt K's and being scared of all the dogs and Uncles G's. Eating Aunt M's banana pudding at family get togethers and playing "secret Santa" with with cousins every year. Ahhhhh... those were the days. But I'm rambling and you just want to look at pictures, so I will stop now.
ENJOY!!

Precious pictures! The memories are wonderful! I didn't realize you remembered skating in my basement. That WAS fun. All the things you mentioned were wonderful parts of our life together; alas, we must all move on. Time waits for no one. Still, we can hope that one day we will all be able to get together again. Love, Aunt Kathy
