Fun with Uncle Ryan!

My nephew LOVES his Uncle Ryan and when he was at our house tonight, it was no different! Tonight Uncle Ryan did his very best to teach Tyler how to throw a frisbee. It took a lot of patience and while he didn't really catch on (since he is only 3), he had a great time trying to learn! I'm so glad that Ryan enjoys playing and I can't wait to have our own children some day so he can teach them all of his tricks!!

Our Week of Celebrations

This week we celebrated two big events...my dad's 55th birthday and Ryan's parents 34th anniversary! Both events were, of course, celebrated with wonderful meals and fun! We're so blessed to have such wonderful families that are great examples of how to live a long, loving, and meaningful life!

Something about Mary

For all of you who hear me tell stories about my "cubicle mate", Mary...here she is! We went out tonight with Ryan to Coleman's for dinner and drinks, and we had a great time!! I love having Mary to spend time with...she's a blast!! And she doesn't mind waking up really early on Saturday mornings to go the market with me for fresh veggies and a day of shopping! Who could ask for a better girlfriend! Oh...and by the way, for anyone who's wondering - yes that is a fleece jacket in August! Gotta love NY!

Mini-Golf Mania!

Just a few fun photos from our putt-putt pandemonium! Note to self: never take a 3 yr old mini-golfing after 9:00pm. You may be struck by a club!

Happy Birthday, Meg!

Yesterday I celebrated my 26th birthday and had a great day! My family came out for dinner to Quaker Steak and Lube and then we enjoyed a fun game of mini-golf!

Jeepers Creepers...where'd you get those peepers?!

When I got to my parent's house on Saturday, I was walking up the sidewalk to the door when I noticed a peeper resting on a leaf. Since I knew the kids were inside, I picked the peeper up and cupped it in my hands and went inside. The kids LOVED it!! We took it back outside and created a temporary habitat for it using a bowl and some outdoor elements (leaves, sticks, rocks, etc.). We had so much fun showing all our friends and family and the band concert that night, and then after getting home, we let the peeper back out into the world!

Summer Nights in Fair Haven

Saturday night I went out to see my family in Fair Haven. It was band concert night, so I got a chance to see a lot of local people that I haven't seen in a very long time. My cousin Kristin and her husband Russell were also in from Virginia, so it was great to see them! They're expecting their first child in January and we're all very excited! As you can see, I had TONS of fun with my niece and nephew (big surprise, I know!)
