Little River!

So one of the most recent fun thing that Savannah and I have been able to do is visit one of my best friends, Kinser, and her 9 month old, River, up in Kennesaw.  River, who just happens to be my God-son, is one of the cutest little boys ever!  He is such an incredible little boy, too.  When he was born he had a sort of heart murmur.  The doctors were thinking (and hoping) that it would basically just fix itself and it would never be a problem, but it became a problem.  He was always very healthy and alert and bright and Kinser is just such a great mom, but he never put on very much weight.  So about two months ago he had to undergo open-heart surgery.  Talk about scary!  But he did amazing!  He healed so much faster than anyone thought he would and since the surgery he has become a different baby!  He has put on about 6 pounds, he has doubled his intake of food, has begun sitting up and crawling, and saying words!  Its just the most incredible thing to see how this baby has healed and thrived in the past two months! Savannah had so much fun playing with River and I had a blast seeing Kinser and another of my best friends, Ashley. Here are some pictures we took while we were there!

Hey girl! I love that picture of Savannah jumping into the pool. Too cool. And, once again, I am severely jealous of your tan. :)

Take care.

love,
