Fun Riley Moments...

One of Riley's favorite things to do after his bath is to watch You-Tube videos of Firetrucks, Police Cars, etc. This is an all-time favorite... Lots and Lots of Firetrucks...



Riley and his friend Carter's sing-along...



and well, apparently it's not cool when Mommy sings too...



Celebrating Riley's 2nd Birthday with Steve and Val...

Riley's friend Julia had a birthday party at a small Zoo and Riley's favorite animal out of everything was a white Snow Owl... it was hard to leave...

Me-ma and Me-pa Domsten Visit!!

We had SOO much fun when Grandma and Grandpa Domsten came to visit... more than words can describe. But here are some glimpses of the great fun:

We went to the Please-Touch Museum...

We celebrated Riley's 2nd Birthday!

And we laughed a lot!!

We love you so much Grandma and Grandpa and you are ALWAYS in our hearts... Thanks for the fun, the good talks, the encouragement and your love for us.

Easter 2009...

Thank you Aaron and Perrine for a GREAT Easter Egg Hunt!





Easter with the Delps, Mangums, Naces, and Commons...



Happy LATE Easter... but He's STILL risen... ;)

The Barretts were in town!!

We were so happy that Mel and Scott came to visit!

We celebrated Ryan's birthday just the way he wanted too... a day in the city and an evening of sushi and Rockband. 32's lookin' good!

Riley super enjoyed spending time with his cool aunt and uncle... so much so that he didn't nap for 2 days straight! And even when told he had to rest, he kept saying "Play Maul 'n Geott" (which of course means "I would like to play with Mel and Scott, Mother"). We tried to convince him to sleep... but it didn't work...

Thank you guys for coming out here... it meant a lot to us and we love you so much...

Ah some classic Riley moments...

If Riley can't get something to work, it must be the batteries...

The sickness is ALMOST over...

It's been a long, L-O-N-G sick season here at the Delps. One of us has had either a cold or the stomach flu non-stop since the week before Christmas. Riley is turning around (just a bit of a cough and occasional running nose now) and as of yesterday, I'm on drugs to help kick the crap out of me. Ryan is holding his own, still trying to get over the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, wish you could get some rest, needing medicine feeling... BUT... for the first time in over a month, I feel HOPE that we won't be sick forever.


So all that to say, I haven't felt much like posting. So here are just some random pics from the last month.

Delp Christmas at our house Christmas morning...

Delp Christmas in Pennsylvania...

Domsten Christmas in Michigan...

Ah sickness means lying around and doing nothing... a whole lot...

So much so that you start to get Cabin Fever and do crazy things...

But friends make us feel so much better...

And a special thank you to Mom and Dad Delp... who sacrificed their own health to help us in the midst of an all-time low weekend when all three of us had some level of the stomach (and other places) flu. I seriously, wholeheartedly, humbly am so thankful for you both. Thank you for showing us such amazing love and care...
