All About Riley

Since the blog tends to be so much about Peyton, I thought I'd devote a post just to Riley (I'll do Laynie next!) I've been trying to learn how to use my camera, and yesterday and today she agreed to be my model. We had fun, and I think they came out okay. Riley is in preschool 3 mornings a week and she loves it. We have her conference tomorrow with her teacher, I can't wait to see what she says! She is also taking dance classes Saturday mornings, which she loves. She is a very sweet girl, but also has a bit of an ornery streak. I just love her to pieces. I know it's hard for her sometimes, she was only 19 months when Peyton was born...very much still our baby. She had to share us before she was ready to! She is becoming a great big sister...especially now that Peyton thinks she is 3 too (or 6, depending on if Laynie's home). So here are some pictures of our beautiful Riley...my special girl. Enjoy!


And my personal favorite...

Danielle ~ I didn't know you had a blog! Can I add you to my blog list? I love the third photo down from the top of Riley! She is so beautiful! Dance class is so great isn't it?! My Akela just started ballet and loves it! Great post! I'll have to do this too, as my blog is mostly focused on Sonya!

Danielle, she's such a beautiful girl, well actually, all of your girls are, but it's great to see a post all about Riley. Dance class must be SO much fun! I know that Caitlyn would love it! I can't decide which picture is my favorite; maybe the first one! Can't wait to see Laynie's post!

Danielle!
Riley is gorgeous! How nice to have girls willing to "model" as you practice your photography skills! I love the last picture because that shows her "ornery" personality :0)

It's nice to see a post on Riley. I like the coloring you did on the first picture. I really need to take a class to and learn more about what my DSLR can offer.

Riley is beautiful. How fun that she would model for you. Hannah will usually sit still long enough for me to "practice" but it usually depends on her mood:)

What a gorgeous girl! I love the photos. I like the word "ornery," I think I have a little girl who is quite the same way!
