So I think we've had our fill of pumpkin patches...on Sunday we went to Rombach's (with everyone else in the city!)We met up with Madisyn and Aiden and had a great time. On Friday, Ryan's school went to a local patch. Tim went too.
Today was the annual Delta Gamma event at Daniel's Farm. We had so much fun.
Ryan had his first pony ride and also got on a tractor that was just his size. Mor Mor Jo met up with us too and after we went to lunch.
We were pretty busy this week with PT and Speech therapy.

Keep Ryan in your prayers this week, on Wednesday he has tubes put in his ears. It is an outpatient procedure, but it is still surgery.

Here are photos of the last week. All are from the pumpkin patches and farms around the area. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Uncle Dan!

I am sooo cute

Want to wish Dan a Happy Birthday.
Another double ear infection. Ryan has been fighting a cold for the last two weeks. I can't wait for the tubes to be in place. We have to wait another week for those.
Today we went to the zoo for a little while. It was finally nice outside. A cool sunny day after a week of cool, dreary, rainy weather. We went to Big Cat Country where the cats were out playing.
Here are a few pics from the zoo.
Enjoy

Here are some messy chocolate pudding shots for you Dan!

Tubes in his future

Here are some quilts with NICU grads foot prints

Ryan made another footprint today, to take back to the NICU

Lets Go Blues!


Ryan is ready for Hockey season. He was ecstatic that the Blues beat Detroit in the opening series in Stockholm. How Swede it is!

So another ear infection and the pediatrician recommended Ryan get tubes in his ears. We went to the ENT and his surgery is scheduled for the end of October. I certainly hope this helps with the infections.

This weekend we went to the NICU Reunion Walk for graduates. We had a great time. Met up with other parents of kids who were in the NICU. We saw some of his nurses and doctors and it was great for them to see how Ryan has grown. This was the first walk and it will be an annual event on our calendar.

Ryan is talking like crazy. He has been saying MaMa for everything. Milk is "Emme". He says "Go" and points to the door. Knows his hair, foot and nose and how to kiss. Such a smart little guy!

He continues to giggle and scream at the dogs every move. He makes me laugh so hard, I end up crying!

I guess thats all for now. Have a good week
