Too soon.

Mr.Ry told Big Daddyo that he did not love him anymore. He was upset and has been expressing himself with lots of attitude lately. I was caught off guard by the comment, I thought we had at least 10 years till we would hear this phrase. I knew we would hear it at some point as I know that I had said these harsh word to my parents on occasion. It never crossed my mind how much these words could hurt till I became the parent and will one day hear it from my child. This brief climps into our future will make me that much more grateful for the simple elegance of my children's "I Love You". I hope each of you can appreciate every time you hear those precious words, I love you! Also I hope my parents know that as a parent now myself I more than ever before regret those harsh words that cut so deep and offer a simple I love you to both my Dad and my Mom.

Father & Son

This is one of My favorite picture from the Christmas holidays. Mr.Ry and Big Daddyo seized every opportunity when it was not too frigid to go out and either snowmobile or go quad-ding. After his first time going out Mr. Ry returned with a tear running down his cheek, he proudly announced "I go so fast a tear come out!" and then he eagerly returned outside for more. I loved watching him and his Dad spend some really fun quality time together. I also got a chance to go snowmobiling with Big Daddyo and had as much fun as Mr.Ry! Oh, memories.

Quick update!

Mr.Ty, has been teething for at least three months now aka eternity.
Advil takes the edge off but he still seems to be in agony, my 8 month old still gets up every 4 hours at night to eat or fuss. I'm pro- cry it out (I know some may disagree) But he cryed for 1.5 hours one night and even for me that's too much. I'm open for suggestions. Sleep would be such a wonderful thing!



Mr. Ry is now fully potty trained with the occasional request for a diaper when #2 is pending. But on the whole he is doing fantastic at not even 2.5 years of age. How exciting to only have one in diapers, its been 2.5 years now that we have had 2 in diapers. Let the $ saving begin! Mr. Ry is full of personality, he loves to say " I have an idea guys" and the present his plan, love to make you laugh and play with Mr. Ty. A 100% boy and still a pure joy!



Miss M is a real Princess, she is quickly approaching her 4th birthday and asks daily for the last two months if we can plan her party! Miss M is very bright and loves to learn and play. She is wearing size 5 pants and 6/7 tops- very tall for her age. She is very good at getting Mr. Ty to laugh and loves to play house with Mr. Ry. I am enjoying raising a girly girl who can still keep up with her brothers. She loves to paint her nails, borrow my necklaces and wear princess attire wherever we are going- the picture is at the zoo - she wore her crown proudly all day.
Anyways just a simple update to catch up from the last 2 years or so that I have not taken the time to blogg, I hope to stay on top of it a little better this go round. Big Daddyo has completed his undergrad and is currently preparing to take the GMAT at the end of the month. We hope to get into a University on the East coast to complete his MBA. This would be a big move for our family, but one we are all ready and excited to make. We will keep you posted as to when we know what our plans are, until then watch our family adventures as they continue!

Get Crafty

So today due to the weather Church was canceled, and not knowing what to do with myself I decided to be crafty. I had seen how to make these roses on a craft blog and had been waiting for an opportunity to try it out. They are so easy- you simply cut your fabric into 5 progressively smaller circles, then you hold them slowly rotating over a candle. The flame melts the edges so they don't fray while bending/molding the fabric into the shape you see, you then place all 5 on top of each other and sew an X stitch in the middle and then hot glue or sew your accessory (pearls)- Miss M has requested a headband. I was thrilled the flowers matched an old cardigan I had not worn in a while, I was pleased with how it turned out!
