Little Man is Walking!

He took his first steps a few weeks ago and now he's really getting the hang of it. He loves walking around the house and does it quite well. The boys like to count his steps and keep track of how high he can go before he falls. You can tell he's really proud of himself and we love cheering him on as he cruises. Way to go E!

Thanksgiving in Our New Home

After three weeks in our new home we hosted Thanksgiving. It was so fun! The extra space was wonderful and it didn't feel crowded a bit...even with 25 people. The boys loved having their cousins over to play and it was great to have so many kids around this year. Mike, Desiree and their five little ones plus Desiree's niece joined us this year as did Lou and his caregiver Dora and her husband Jim, my mom, aunt Judy, grandma, Chad, Liz, Emma, Cara, Aiden and our good friend Doug. Now we're looking forward to hosting Christmas Eve!

The Christmas Play

Today was Fellowship Preschool's annual Christmas play. It is so cute to see all those preschoolers singing (or standing around while the music plays) and saying their lines for their proud parents. As usual watching Ryan on stage was an absolute delight! I told my mom he was beyond adorable. I got there just in time to see him head toward the stage. I called his name and gave him a quick knuckles as he walked by. When it was his turn he slowly walked over to the large number five and picked it up. The kids holding numbers one through four held their numbers high above their heads but this number five was really big for Ryan. He decided to hold it in front of him instead. Then he figured he could just peek his eyes through the curved part of the 5 while saying his lines...totally funny and totally Ryan. Everyone got a kick out of it and I think Ryan got a kick out of the laughter. Later when it was his turn to come back on stage with a maraca he was rocking out and having a great time. What a precious little ham.
