Not exactly singing

This morning after breakfast, Ryan kept repeating random sounds that I was making, so I decided to make them not so random... he makes me laugh :-)

And... a couple of my favorite recent pictures of the little guy:


almost every time we get home in the car, Ryan asks if he can "drive drive" - he loves it!

Happy Easter

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
1 Peter 1:3

Happy Easter!

In addition to rejoicing in the truth that Jesus is Risen and singing many of my favorite hymns, we also celebrated Easter on a level that is a bit easier for Ryan to understand: eggs!

Here we are decorating yesterday (and clearly we had Duke on the mind!):

All set up & ready to go!

Watching carefully (all the while instructing me on what colors to do)

Family fun :)

The finished products

Discovering his Easter basket this morning:

The egg hunt:

He knew just what to do & after each one that he found would immediately ask, "more egg?"


That was so much fun!!!


A basket full of eggs (and Ryan's favorite basketball... apparently another treasure worthy of being found)


The one egg that actually had jelly beans in it - check out that face!


and... back to the basketball!

Game Day

While we're not able to be in Indy with the rest of my family, we're cheering on our Blue Devils just as strongly from home!

Elmo video

Blogger is finally cooperating and let me put up this video. Ryan is still talking about "dan Elbo" on a daily basis :-)
