Being Artistic

A skill he learned from school. Ryan loves to watercolor.

Thanks Auntie Vel!

Christmas Dinner

Christmas dinner was at auntie Nancy's in-laws. The food was scrumptious and the house was beautiful.

Ryan's signature smile

Ryan's favorite part of the house was the fireplace. He just couldn't get enough of it.

Time to rock-n-roll!

Hmm...was that good enough for Idol?

Ryan turns 2

Ryan celebrated his second birthday. This year he was much more excited about the party. He actually ate the cake this year and didn't throw it on the ground like he did at his first birthday. Ryan also really liked the jumper. However he liked it more when daddy carried him while jumping.

Ryan really likes the present Auntie Bon-bon got him.

First day of Pre-school!

Can't wait to go to school

Where's my room?

Finally, school's over

Ryan wasn't very happy on his first day of school. He didn't like the fact that we had to leave him. For those of you who haven't had your child start school yet, let me tell you, it is quite an emotional experience.
