Go Phillies!

Tim and I got to go to the game on Wednesday night while my parents watched Ryan. We had so much fun, and we hear Ryan was a good boy, and of course the Phils won!! Now they're tied for first in NLeast with 3 games left! Go Phillies!!

Hangin' Out

Esther is not too sure what to think about Ryan, but she did finally hang out with him some for tummy time.



and the other day she hung out with trent when he was over, they're becoming good friends, although i think esther will be more likely to stick around longer when his petting is less like hitting :) esther also decided she'd be the one to sit in the booster seat instead of him, i thought this was hilarious.

Did you get the memo?

I took Ryan to where my dad and I work to show him off. Here's a pic of him at my desk, doesn't he look like he's saying "ooh, i don't know about this guys."?

Garden Spot Village Groundbreaking

Well finally, after much waiting, Garden Spot Village had the groundbreaking for their new apartments where Mommom and Poppop are going to be moving at the end of next year. Who's excited?! It was a beautiful day yesterday to have the outdoor "to-do".

Here's a link to their webpage page about the new apartments... http://www.gardenspotvillage.org/vsa/default.asp
Eventually their website will have a live webcam of the construction, how cool is that?

and here's a couple pics (more in the online albums)...

Welcome Back!

I know I haven't posted in a long time, but seriously there was nothing to write about! (sorry Kara!) But now I can happily say that Tim's dad returned home late last night from several long months of cancer treatments in texas!! WELCOME BACK!!!! Tomorrow the fam is getting together for a little welcome home party so I can post some pics after that. He'll be headed to his local doctors this week to find out how well the treatments worked so please continue to pray for him and his health. Looks like he's made it back in time for Ryans birth!
