Well, where do I start? It has been awhile since I have updated. It has been really nice outside so we have been going for a lot of walks as well as going to the beach. I had my inspection for the daycare and I passed. Now my package of information has to go up in front of a board to see if they approve.I don't plan on actually taking any kids until June. We will see...Matt isn't too thrilled about the whole idea, so if it disrupts our family life too much I may not continue.
Ryan has been riding his new bike like crazy. Whenever we go for a walk he rides his bike. I try to wear him out by riding on a lot of hills, but he is always full of energy. He loves going to the beach. The water here stays shallow for a long way out so he has tons of fun just running around and splashing. Of course he loves to play in the sand too. There aren't very many waves most of the time, so I can just let him play. Ryan has been really itching for time with Matt lately. As soon as he wakes up in the morning he is asking to go outside and play football or golf. Yesterday we spent about three hours at the beach and then Matt took Ryan to play soccer out at the soccer field.
Colin is doing great. I can't believe he is almost a year old. We are going to go down to the park next weekend and try to have a cookout for his birthday. We mainly just invited all the neighbors. Colin loves the beach as well. The water is so shallow that I can just take him down and sit him in the water. He has a great time splashing and crawling around. He has been trying ot color lately. He likes to pick up a crayon and then he will look for a paper, crawl over, and try to draw. He has been thinking about walking lately, but still hasn't made that leap.
Matt has been busy with school and work lately. He is still working on that one big job and he has a test coming up in his biology class. I hope he gets an A because he has been working so hard in the material. He was able to go to the beach with us yesterday. I know he hates to be leaving for work and have to see that we are heading to the beach. He hasn't made tons of friends here to do things with outside of work and I know that kind of bums him out. Most of the guys he works with here are young and not on top of things. People who act like idiots at work and don't know thier job drive Matt nuts.
I myself have been keepingbusy running errands, doing stuff with the kids, and exercising when I can. I am going to take a knitting class at the craft center that starts in about a week, so that shold be fun.
Well, I hope this finds you all well. Love you all.

Hi, Just read your update and viewed the pictures. Mark says that Ryan does not look at all the same. I say that both kids look completely different! They look so much older! I am glad you are all keeping busy and it sounds like everyone is adjusting pretty well. Matt is probably too busy to enjoy the beach and all but his work will get him to where he wants someday. Guess you got my message about the cat, she is doing fine. She must have washed herself good because she doesn't stink anymore. We are looking forward to our visit and I plan to sit on the beach and play lots with the kids. Talk to you soon. Love, Mom
Hi!
Thanks for the update. I love the pictures. Maybe Colin's going to be The Artist. We all know Ryan is Our Athlete. I wish we were coming sooner, we just may have to move it up. The kids are changing so fast, we won't know them, and they won't know us. I got to see Brenna this weekend, she is sure growing. We want to go up there for a weekend soon. I am glad you all are getting to go to the beach and have a little break. Matt, sorry you don't get to go as much, but just hang in there, your hard work now, will pay off soon. I'm proud of you.
Love to you all,
Grandma Blessing
