Quick Nap with Dad!

Here we are doing our favorite thing....sleeping! Riley and Dad already have a very special bond!

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams Riley! There is really no story to this picture....just thought it was a cute one. We're still trying to figure out who resembles. I think he will be a good mixture. Right now his hair is brown, but some of our nieces/nephews started with brown hair and then it turned blond! So....we will see!!

Ready for School

We have him trained! Here is our little man raising his hand to ask a question! He is just so much fun!!! We love watching him do his hourly stretches! We have had many laughs about this one!

Riley's Arrival

And here he is....Riley Bates Long!! He arrived on Saturday, November 1st at 6:06 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces and was 19 and 3/4 inches long. We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours and then made our trip home! This picture shows how much he enjoys car rides....puts him right to sleep! He is definitely his father's son!

Pensacola Shower

Last weekend, our friends Ryan and Greta Osborn threw us a couples' shower here in Pensacola. We had a blast! One of the most interesting events was Edmond tasting baby food while blindfolded. He had to guess what type of food he was eating. Needless to say, he had a little trouble!
We were so very excited that Edmond's parents and my mom, sister, and niece were able to come into town for the shower and a short visit. We really miss our families!

Pineville Shower

Here we are at the Pineville shower. Again everyone showered their blessings on us! Edmond and I feel very loved!

Baton Rouge Shower

Well...we continue to get ready for Riley's arrival!! A few weeks ago, some friends in Baton Rouge had a shower for us. My friend Kim was so gracious to open her home for the party! It was so much fun getting to visit with college and post-college friends!! Several of my friends at the shower are also expecting! We really had a blast and really got stocked up on things for the baby!! My sister and mom posed with me for a pic!
