Back in February, we celebrated Ryan's dedication with family and friends. Some family came from New York and we were blessed to get to spend a fun 4 days with all of them. It was Aunt Colleen and Alison's first time to meet Ryan. Oh how he loved both of them!
Maureen was here too and because she had just visited in December, Logan was very playful with her and there was definitely no "warm up" time this visit!
Friday was the day for
The Children's Museum
My buddy
Grandma, Logan and Ali
Aunt Col was a HUGE help with Ryan. She would offer to do everything and I was happy to let her! Ryan took to her so quickly too so this made my day a lot more fun!
Ryan got to participate some too. He LOVES mirrors!
and this was mesmerizing!
Logan and Ali had a lot of fun together on this trip...
a real bond the two of them have!
Saturday was Ryan's big day!
Ryan with his Godparents
Uncle Mike
The Grandparents
New York Pic... missing Great Grandma for sure!
(and a lot of others of course!)
Loving his Aunt Kelley
During the ceremony
So much love and support
How big is Ryan? SO big!!
After the service we celebrated with a lunch at a local restaurant! SO much better than all the work that goes into a party at the house. I was VERY thankful!! :-)
Debra and her girls
And he got to try icing for the first time...
Happy 6 months big guy!
My mom had an "after party" at her home that evening and served a great meal among both of our families and lots of friends. She is always a wonderful host and again, I was very thankful to not have to use my home this time!
Rachel and Joel joined in on the celebration!
And Ryan LOVES Aunt Rachel!
Opening gifts
Great pic of these two special people
I love the way he plays with his nephews!
Wonderful people!
The final night that they were here (though Maureen left earlier) my Aunt took us all out to eat for my early birthday dinner! Yummy Roadhouse!
Some cute pics from the table
I did NOT order this! Just saying...
Saying goodbye (so sad!)
The following weekend was my birthday. My parents watched the boys for the day and Jeff and I had a wonderful lunch at my favorite restaurant and then saw a mid-day movie! That was so nice and to top it off, my parents brought the boys to meet up with us later and we all went out to eat dinner. This year things were just perfect! I am healthy and I have a wonderful family, loving husband and two beautiful and healthy boys... what more could a woman want!?!?!
