Rancho las Palmas

We spent three days in Rancho Mirage for Vince's birthday. Maria and Aidan came and stayed with us for three more days.

Beach Day

We went to Hermosa Beach for the day. First we had brunch at Martha's then we played in the sand and ocean.

Two-Wheeler

So many new discoveries and skills have come with turning four. Ryan learned to ride a two-wheeled bike today. Vanessa (Graham's mommy)gave him one push and away he went. I'm so glad that we got him his glide bike because he already knew how to balance. We didn't have to run after him to teach him to ride. Way to go Ryan! We are so proud of you.

CEC Camp-Out

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dogs and cats, give a warm welcome to Dan Crow." Ryan laughs as he recites this line from Dan Crow's CD. Dan Crow performed at the camp-out for the CEC. Ryan told me that when he grows up he is going to make up songs like Dan Crow. The camp-out was so much fun, Ry loved it!

Happy Birthday Adriana!

Lydia, Leia, Jen, Olivia, Laura, Ashley

Friday Night Friends!

Amelie, Ashley, Audrey, Lilly, and Ryan eating Mac 'N' Cheese and corn-dogs inbetween breaks of running wildly around the house screaming. And these are the memories we cherish!

Winter Sports

Today was Ryan's first time on the ice. He almost cried when he first stepped in the rink and then he didn't want to leave. Perhaps there will be some ice hokey playing in his future.
