YAWN............

Someone is not sleeping again. 3 times a night this boy is up. It could be his cold, but it seems like it is becoming a habit. We have tried crying it out, staying in the room with him, etc...but he just SCREAMS at night when he wakes up. This has gone on for a couple of weeks on and off, but seems to be getting worse. Doesn't help that I am sick so I am getting NO sleep. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

Holy Snowstorm and Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Yes....4.1 inches of snow on 10/23. Ryan thought maybe he should mow the snow.


A fun wagon ride with Bailey.

We went to the pumpkin patch the day after the snow. It didn't stick around long, but it sure made everything wet. Ryan had a great time at the pumpkin patch with his sister!
Today he is "practicing" trick or treat with candy.

Professional Pics

Aaron FINALLY let me go get pictures taken of Ryan. Aren't they CUTE?????

Picture update

Helping brother get ready for snowboarding season.
Here you can see Ryan in his camboot.
We have had snow most of last week, so it was time to get the warm clothes out. Snow isn't going to keep this little guy inside...maybe his mom, but not him. :)

Sometimes something just breaks your heart

I just got done reading the blog of a family who I started following during their Russian adoption. They were attempting to adopt from Pakistan. After spending almost a month bonding with their baby girl and away from their son, they went home empty handed. Sometimes IA can just break your heart................
Please pray for a miracle for them.

Howdy

Been some really interesting times here at our house. Last week Ryan fell down two steps at the bottom of the stairs and came up limping from the fall. He tried to run but it wasn't gonna happen. When he stops running we know we have a problem. So off we went to the doctor for x-rays to find out he has a broken foot. So he is in the cutest little walking cam boot. Hasn't slowed him down at all. :)

That was Thursday. Later that night I got up, slipped on something and went BOOM on the floor. So now I am down for the count. My foot is a beautiful color of black and blue, green and purple. So any chance I had to catch up with Ryan since he is a little slower is gone now. :)

MEA starts today and the kids are off and glad to be off of school. Bailey is off to go shopping with Aaron's mom and Chandler and I are going to hang out with Ryan and run some errands. AND go to the "pet store for fishers" as Ryan says.

Just some catching up

The top picture is from the adoption walk we took part in back in September. It was a great time!!
Ryan is doing pretty well these days. Just a bundle of energy, but sadly it has been raining day after day after day......giving us a taste of what we will have to do to keep him busy this winter.
I start back PT today and I am already doing well. Dishes are done, laundry started and I have been to the gym already. Ryan loves having me home and I will like being home 2 days during the week again.

She's here!!

Claire Marie arrived on Sunday after a few hours of labor to my brother and his wife. What a cute baby girl! Her big sister still thinks she is pretty great and hasn't asked for them to return her yet. YAY for being an auntie again.

Sorry I forgot to update. I am FINALLY going back to PT Monday. It is so needed. Ryan isn't happy in full time daycare. He is being a little terrorist every night. Aaron and I are so needing a big people's night it isn't funny. Maybe one day..........
