Puppies!


My parents lab had puppies! They're absolutely adorable and for sale! They wanted me to send out a post letting everyone know. They're asking $350 each, and they'll be ready by Dec.13th. If you or anyone you know are interested, leave me a comment and we'll get in touch!

Snowy days


What's with the snow! We've been snowed in forever, and on top of it all Ryken's been sick! I dressed him all up just for pictures sake. We had to at least go see the snow, even if we weren't going to play in it. Eddie loves it though, he runs around like a maniac!
We're moving in 2 weeks, and the house is starting to get packed up. So much to do.

Finally some pics!


These pictures were taken along the river. Ryken loves walking and exploring, just about as much as Eddie does!

sweet music

Ryken and I have been taking lessons at a Kindermusik studio. He absolutely loves it! The first lesson he was a little bit clingy, but now he runs around the room, laughing his head off. He's definately one of the most active kids in the class. A lot of the kids are a bit younger and more laid back. The instructor keeps telling everyone that once the gross motor skills kick in, toddlers just don't sit still. How true! We play the songs at home and it's cool to see how much he's actually paying attention to the music. Whenever he's fussy or throwing me attitude, I start to sing, and he usually stops to listen to me. I've even started to sing three notes at a time, pausing to let him copy me. The pitch is obviously not there, but he does sing! O.K. so now I sound like one of those crazy mothers who is obsessed with getting her kid to do things quickly. But really, we need to find stuff to fill up our days, right? (Not that I don't have things going on.) A bit of a tangent...so bye for now!

Our new place!

O.K. so I know it's been forever since I've left a post. The problem, as some of you may know, is that I'm without a computer, or internet access. I'm at my parents house right now, trying to reconnect with the blog life. Anyway, we found a place! It' close to where we are now, and it's only 2 years old. It's a beautiful cul-de-sac, with a little park, practically in our front yard. The basement is unfinished, so we got it for a pretty good deal. We're starting to pack, and getting excited to be in our new place for Christmas!
Ryken's doing great, and learning a new word every day. Rob taught him to hold up one finger, when you ask him how old he is. Too cute!
