Ramblings

Did you know that yesterday the weather report said Saturday the hi was 50 with a chance of rain. Then in the afternoon it said the hi was 49 without rain. Then this morning it said 48 with snow early...excuse me...snow? Snow on my baby's first birthday when I have sent out 30 invitations to family and friends...not to mention posted the invite on my blog...and we are supposed to tailgate? Really mother nature? What about that global warming? How is it that I live in the South and I have gone 15 years without seeing a snow flurry in my neck of the woods and now twice in one year it is going to snow here? (**interestingly enough it snowed in March in Pcola when I was in the 5th grade, and then it snowed this past march here in the Gump)

Yesterday a 10 % chance of rain...today it says a 70% chance or precipitation. And Saturday morning when it is 38 degrees outside it is going to feel like it is 30 degrees. Anyone want to come over and man the grill at our tailgate??

When Elizabeth was kind enough to send me this graphic in a format I could post she said to look on the bright side..."The good news is there will be so many people in the house that you will not need to turn the heat on!"

Party Time

Riley will be one this coming Sunday! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. I have been excited for this little milestone...who am I kidding...big milestone, but as I sit here typing this I am certain I am going to be a little emotional about it. Below you can see his birthday party invitation. It should be a good time, and I will be certain to post pictures of him digging into the cake!

In case you were curious about these precious little invites you can click here to go to Busy Nothings. These girls are great and will customize anything for you from logos, to calling cards.

Here is our little turkey with our turkey dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This video is just Riley walking around, nothing exciting...but it does show how mobile he is. Anyway Michael wanted to share it with Big Mike and Etta who are in New York visiting Mary and Radcliffe, so here it is:

Almost 12 months...

Since Riley is almost 12 months I thought I would post his 11 month pictures! Sorry!

Baby McElroy...It's a Boy!

Just wanted to share that Ada has a little brother. Alexa went into labor at 4:00 am this morning and he is already here. He was 6 lbs and l2 ounces, and his name is Thomas Gower. I am so excited and cannot wait to meet this little angel!

In case you thought I still had a baby...

I think if you look at this picture below you will agree that Riley looks a whole lot more like a little boy than a baby these days...how did this happen so fast???
