Stolen Photo

Many times when we are with Henry, we don't have a camera. This is a bit out of order because it is stolen from Henry's blog. According to Ryan, Henry is his "best bud." He also told me that Mindy is his "best friend." Henry is 6 months older. and is a great person for Ryan to look up to. Ryan is now in his big boy bed "just like Henry and Caillou." They are very crazy and fun together.

Second Generation

Traci and Kasey came in town, so of course we had brunch. The second generation of all of us gathered for a meeting. Ryan loved wearing Henry's jacket, and had to have the hood on. Julep got in on it too...

It's Been WAY too long

We built this snowman during one of our rare snow "storms." Ryan's favorite part was knocking it down. Charlie's favorite part was turning the snow yellow. The next day, Ryan and Henry went sledding in Henry's neighborhood. They had so much fun, and I was surprised at how brave they were!
We took Ryan to the Yellow River Game Ranch. He loved feeding the animals, and he especially loved feeding "Donkey." It was at the peak of his "Shrek" phase, and the donkey reminded him of Shrek's friend.

Noa and Ethan spent New Years Eve with us. (So did Aunt Jody and Uncle David.) Ethan showed Ryan how to build a fort in the basement...and we let Ryan play alone in the basement for the first time. (with his cousins...)

At Thanksgiving, we met Baby Eva for the first time. Ryan only took one swing at her. But he talks about her all the time, and can't wait to see her at her Baby Naming!

Ryan was a little jealous of Baby Eva
