Happy New Year!

From the desk of Rilo, he and his crew would like to wish you a very happy new year. 2007 was quite a ride, and we expect no less from 2008.



We began the new year right by heading to the beach.







Some brotherly love:



The sands of time:



Onward to 2008!

A California Christmas

Greetings from the Yeh-Rippens clan! Last year we celebrated in Georgia, so this is the first year Rilo spent Christmas in California. Here we are with the Rippens family:



And with Rilo's godmother, Tita Sarah:



Presents!

December is for fun

This time of year is always great for meeting up with old friends and family (kind of sounds like something Martha Stewart would say--sheesh). December brought a couple of young out-of-town visitors to our neck of the woods. Rilo had lots of fun with Dot and with Sadie, and he also met baby Jack.
