Happy 2nd Birthday Riley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was Riley's 2nd Birthday and we had a blast celebrating with our family. To be honest, it was a pretty emotional day because 2 years old is something we were told she would never live to see. Riley has grown stronger & older and blown away so many of the "never"s we originally heard from her doctors. Each time she reaches these milestones it is a wonderful reminder of God's faithfulness and power at work in her life. In the constant hectic pace of doctor appointments, therapy sessions, and just our lives in general so many times we take for granted of all the little improvements and the fact that everyday with Riley is a new miracle in itself. But the day to day progress and growth is amazing and looking back on the past two years as a whole - from where she started until now - it is absolutely clear that we serve a loving, compassionate, and powerful God who has done countless miraculous things in her life and in the lives of so many people she has touched. Life with Riley is definitely an adventure and we cannot wait to see what the next two years brings.

Thank you to all of our amazing friends and family that have supported, prayed, cried, worried, rejoiced, celebrated, and walked through the past two years with us from this
