Riley and abuela

About a week ago, we returned from visiting Daniel's parents in Madrid, Spain. We had a wonderful trip spending time with abuela (spanish for grandmother) and pawpaw McNamee, tia (aunt) Maria and some new additions to the Spain Young Life team. We spent our time in Madrid relaxing, watching movies, going to the park, touring some gardens in the city and taking a long bike ride into the city. It was so sweet to spend time together as a family. During the middle part of our stay, we "hopped" over to Rome for 3 nights for more adventure and fun. Riley was such a trooper through it all. She loved meeting her pawpaw for the first time, traveling around in the baby bjorn for 6 hours a day and experiencing her first Italian gelato. She may have even picked up a little Spanish and Italian with all the sweet elderly people speaking to her. Thank you abuela, pawpaw and tia maria for such a wonderful stay and fun time. We can't wait to see you all soon!

It's Zoo Time!

A few weekends ago, Daniel, Riley and I headed to Columbia, SC to spend the night with some good friends, the Kellys. We had a great time seeing their new home, walking around the Columbia Zoo and catching up on life. Thank you for such a fun weekend!
