Happy Baby

Derek will be 9 weeks old on Sunday. Thankfully he has been having really good nights, only getting up once to eat and then goes right back to sleep. He seems like a really happy baby, and we are having a lot of fun with him.

I started part time work this week at Wildwood Racquet Club, and Derek is able to go with me! There is free quality child care down the hallway from where I work. This situation could not be anymore ideal, and I am so thankful.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

January 20th was Ryan's 29th birthday! Unfortunately he had to work that day, but he was able to come home to the aroma of a baked from scratch carrot cake -- his favorite. It was sooo good if I do say so myself. :)

The following evening we celebrated with dinner at Cork 'N Cleaver. We had a wonderful meal and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. After dinner we went to see the movie "Marley and Me." Ryan LOVES dogs, so I thought this movie was a good choice. We had a great time spending the evening together celebrating his birthday. He is so great, and I am so thankful for him!!

Family

January 17th was my cousin Reagan's 13th birthday. She had a basketball tournament in Fort Wayne that day, so we were able to watch her play (she did so great!) and then spend the rest of the day with her. Grandma Mary Jane, Kelcey, Kelcey's boyfriend Dan, and Reagan all came over and we enjoyed playing games of euchre and munching on brownies and popcorn. What a lovely day!

It is so great to have Ryan home. He was in Cincinnati the last few days for a work conference. He really missed Derek while he was gone and noticed he had changed and grown just in those 3 days!

Ryan said the conference went really well, although he was pretty tired when he returned home. Here are a couple pictures of him snuggling with his little boy. :)

FYI

Yes, I realize there is still Christmas music playing on our blog. I'm not ready for the holidays to be over quite yet. ;)
