I feel like I've been slacking again in the blog area. The days just go by too fast, and there's always too many other things on the 'to do' list I guess. I hope you enjoy some recent photos of a few happenings in the last couple months with our family.
A new year always brings another birthday. This year was number 31. I still can't believe my 20's are over.
I believe this was Valentines Sunday.
Owen is growing up. He's recently gained interest in learning to ride his bike without training wheels. That's a "Dad job" if you ask me.
Ava and Ruth rode in the stroller.
We went to visit the Easter bunny at the mall, but we didn't go while he was on shift. So, this was the closest we got. Ruth is 6 months here.
Owen started his first soccer season. Sadly, it was bitter cold for the first game.
Ryan had a birthday. This picture speaks volumes. Ava has always had a soft spot for Ryan. The feeling is mutual I believe. Ava was saying adorable things. I wish I had written them down. Ryan was eating it up while Owen was on the side so bugged because he just wanted to blow the candles already and eat some cake.
After dinner one night Owen and Ava left the table and Ryan and I were actually enjoying a peaceful, uninterrupted conversation. Soon we discovered what was keeping the two buddies so busy upstairs. They had gotten into all of the girl's hair bows and had a little fun.
They had to have Dad in on the action.
Another Easter already. I just love to pieces when they match each other. Doesn't happen often with a boy and two girls. Props to Ryan's mom for the outfits.
