New addition to the family room...Thomas the Train Set

Not much new to say, just that thanks to my dear cousins, Ryan has a new table. It is a 4 X 3 Thomas the Train table with wooden train tracks. It is a great addition to our family room. We had to rearrange some seating, but it is great. He loves it. He sits in his cube, but can pull himself up to stand. This is the best toy for him. Thank you Jen!

I almost forgot, but we have another addition to the family. Jen and Ray have another daughter, Daniella Pearl. She is beautiful, as you can see. Mom and baby are doing well.

The little man is repeating nearly everything we say. He knows his colors: purple, yellow, red, blue and green. Says woof woof when he sees the dogs. Loves the word NO. When he says NO with a smile, it means yes! The best is after he takes a drink from his cup, he says "ahhhhh"!

Happy Home Birthday

Ryan's New Braces

Another busy week down. His braces finally arrived! Yeah! They fit so much better than his old ones, plus he really likes the dinosaur print. Roar!
This past weekend was a busy one too.
Saturday we celebrated Ryan's Home Birthday. Two years ago he came home from the NICU. I can't believe its been two years. Growing like a weed. Coming home at 6lbs 4 oz, he is now pushing 28 lbs! We celebrated by going to Gus's Pretzel's and had some pretzel dogs and pretzel brats. The little man loves his pretzels. He can eat an entire pretzel in one sitting.
Went to Tower Grove Park to have lunch and watch the ducks.
Discovered a newly opened market that sells Shakespeare's Pizzas (frozen). For my fellow Mizzou alum, you know of Shake's and how incredible this pizza tastes. So we stocked up and devoured a veggie one for dinner. ummm ummm good!
We also walked to a local park, in search of a cache. If you haven't heard of geocaching, check out this website http://www.geocaching.com/. Never knew about this until our pastor sent us a link to this site. Such fun and plan on searching for more cache again soon.
Wanted to go swing at the park with the little man, but he fell asleep(see above photo)for 2 hours. Also wanted to go to the zoo on Sunday but again slept, for nearly 3 hours. Ahhh the life of a two year old.
