The weather here in Rhode Island is starting to consistently look and feel like SPRING! Yipppeeee!
Ryan wants to go outside ANY chance he can get. It’s gotten tough to keep up with him though! He doesn’t understand that he can’t run into the street, and I’m having a hard time keeping up with him in [...]

…it was bound to happen. One of Ryan’s dolls has had enough and decided to end it all!
We have a cat door that goes out to our garage – Ryan’s newest “thing” is to see how many toys he can push through the door before we catch him. I walked in the other day and [...]

I was telling Marni the other night about how much life for me (us) is different now compared to when I was younger and single. Life before consisted of getting ready at 9pm to go out and visit the clubs or play a gig and staying out to the early hours of the morning.
Now, [...]

Ric and I had the RARE opportunity to go out to dinner tonight – WITHOUT Ryan! He stayed home and played with GiGi (that’s what he calls my friend Mariann, his adopted grandmother.)
Once we were seated and ordered our meals, there was a strange awkward silence. We both looked at each other and laughed. We [...]

Ryan sits himself down in his chair with a car, spelled C-A-R. As he’s playing with it we hear…
Mom: What do you have there Ryan?
Ryan: Cah
Mom: What is it?
Ryan: Cah
Don’t you just love this face? (Notice that the bucket isn’t too far away!)

For the longest time, Ryan didn’t like anything on his head. He’s always pulled off the winter hats and such that we put on him to go outside in the cold. But lately, he’s fond of his bucket.
He’ll put it on his head and walk around like it’s “normal” to have a bucket on your [...]

Dad: Do you want toast for breakfast?
Ryan: Na
Dad: Do you want yogurt?
Ryan: Na
Dad: Do you want a million dollars?
Ryan: Na
Hmmm….I hope he’s not speaking for all of us!

…that Red Vines are covered with RED DYE? Hmmm…for some reason I thought that the licorice was red through and through!
Take a look at Ryan’s sock – of course he had to take his slimy red-dyed hands and put them all over EVERYTHING!
At least it was a great Photo – Op! :)

One of the reasons I wanted to put this blog together was to remember the moments that happen every day…that are too good to be true!
Ryan just started climbing up on things last week (March 23rd to be exact) and we’ve learned very quickly that we’re in REAL trouble if we don’t watch his every [...]

So I was thinking the other day that I needed to update our website with new pictures of Ryan. And then I had a “bright idea” – why not convert our website into a “blog?” Blogs are so easy to update and maintain…and with the little time we all have right now, that’s the best [...]
