Ooo la la

Just have enough time to throw up some quick photos... they're completely unedited, so I hope they're not the nudes...

Connection is unbearably slow on a shared connection, so that's all I've had time to upload so far... keep checking back!

Made it!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we made it to Paris early this morning. It's going on 6pm here right now, so we've had time to get something to eat and walk around a bit, and take a nap so we can have some energy for tonight. We can see the Eiffel Tower from our hotel, just not from our room. I'll get some pictures posted tonight!

Love to all!

Counting down...

Well, yet another countdown in my life. We're going to be flying out in the next 24 hours, and will be gone for about a week. I'm taking just enough tech toys to get my email and post the occasional picture to the blog. I'm sure we'll get a ton of pictures, so check back over the next couple of weeks!

Shelley's mom got into town last night, and is all set to spend a week with Ryan. We'll be giving her a crash course in Ryanese tonight, so she can at least understand what he's talking about half the time. His vocabulary gets bigger every day, and is just amazing to us. He's saying "love you" now, though it's a little muffled.

Nothing more to report really at this time. I apologize for my lack of posts and pictures lately. I just haven't had much going on, other than the mundane everyday things ... don't take that the wrong way though. I'm perfectly content with that! My life has been enough of a whirlwhind in the past couple of years. I'm really enjoying the downtime.

Love to all!

A Picture Share!

We have no chance...

Ok, so I get home a little late last night, and Shelley and Ryan have already eaten. I'm starting myself dinner, and Shelley asks, "are you guys going to get in the H-O-T T-U-B (spelling the word, to avoid getting R-Y-A-N excited for nothing...)...

... and immeditely Ryan comes into the kitchen saying, "MIMMING! MIMMING!"

We just looked at each other in amazement, and I said, "Ryan, you wanna go swimming?"

He turns around and starts heading for the door, "yeah, mimming"

We've got no chance at all... this kid is going to completely own us for the rest of our lives...

Here's something that's sure to be a shocker... this is my mom, in the summer of 1968. Let's do that math... I was born in September of 1969, so this would be roughly 3-5 months before I was conceived...
