Elijah Riley's Gotcha Day!!!














Our Precious little boy, Elijah Riley.
Born May 9th. Gotcha Day May 31
Just 4 lbs 11 oz at birth, now a growing boy at 5 lbs 6 oz.
























He is just beautiful and so peaceful when he sleeps. He is a very content baby and we are truly blessed.




















After he's been fed, he's wide awake for at least a half hour. He loves to look at mommy and daddy.























Long fingers - will he be a piano player or baseball player.

















He spit up all over mommy and himself within five minutes of our first meeting! Welcome to motherhood! This is his first outfit change!


























Proud Parents!












First Family Photo






















Birthmom, Sara, was so brave and handed him to us. She is so precious and gave us the most amazing gift we could have ever asked for!







His first car ride as a part of the Barnhouse Family.

Carrie, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your adoption story. It brought tears to my eyes. We also have adopted - our boys are about the same age - and our stories are so similar. Congrats on almost one year with your handsome little man!
