Merry Christmas

On Christmas Eve Rylynn opened presents with Ryan and I. She was a little unsure what to expect, but seemed to enjoy the toys once she opened them.

Well we had Christmas with my mom on Christmas day. It was a nice day with family. We had good food and played games.

On that day we also announced to our family that we are expecting again. Rylynn announced by wearing a shirt that said. Front: I have a secret Back: I am going to be a big sister!

Christmas Time

Well Christmas arrived and has gone by. So far we have been very busy. I was able to visit with my friend Lindsey and make awesome Christmas goodies. Ryan and I attended a tastefully simple Christmas party, and then before we knew it, it was Christmas Day. During Christmas Eve day, I worked and Ryan stayed home with Rylynn. The three of us spent the early evening together and opened gifts. I was so excited to get a digital picture frame it will load 2000 pictures and I can't wait to get them loaded...we are just sooo busy, I am hoping to get it working by New Year's Eve. On Christmas Eve we went to church with my dad and diane and then headed to the Miller side for a get together at my grandma's. We then spent the night with my mom and enjoyed Christmas day with my sisters, grandma, uncle Craig, and grandpa Stanley. It was a nice time. I will post some fun pictures in a short time. We hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas.

Sitting with Santa

Rylynn really enjoyed sitting with Santa this year as you can tell. We will see on the 25th if she was a good girl!

Go Notre Dame!

If you walk in our house on Saturdays you will see one thing...Notre Dame colors. Ryan and Rylynn had to show off their pride a couple weeks ago and say Go Notre Dame!

Thanksgiving

Well we were busy for Thanksgiving. We got to catch up with old friends a couple days before thanksgiving. We got to see the Myers family. Rylynn and Ethan (pictured below) played together. They even shared hugs and kisses. We had a nice evening and yummy food (thanks Brenda)On Thanksgiving, we went to my family. We visited the Kingery side. We had yummy Turkey and side dishes. Then we played a great game of bingo! We came home with some fake eyelashes, tape dispenser, and a beanie baby. Then we headed to my parents and visited with all of Rylynn's cousins. We had a nice time and are looking forward to spending time with them for Christmas.

Bath Time

Rylynn has been enjoying bath time more and more. She loves to help wash herself, play with her toys and make big splashes. Now with the tubes, she has to put her earplugs in, but she would do anything to take a bath.

Tubes

Well last Wednesday, Rylynn had tubes. We found out that Rylynn is not hearing much of anything which is why she is not talking. The procedure went well, she did get violent when recovering, but for the most part she was good the rest of the day. I spent the day home with her. She has now said, mom, dad, apple, Jo (for aunt Mirissa), and ball. We are working on Mamaw and PaPaw for grandma and grandpa Jackson (that is what the other grandkids call them).

Anyway, she is doing well. But please continue to pray for her so we can communicate with her better and she can learn how to speak better.

Happy Halloween

Well Rylynn was supposed to be a ladybug for Halloween. Her grandpa Sipe bought it for her last year on clearance. One problem, it was too short. So I found a cow costume online and got this one for her. She enjoyed being a cow since she can say MOOOOO. When we went trick or treating, we saw all the cousins and were sure to take pictures. This is the first picture of all the kids, of course none of them came out good. Rylynn also got to see Izzy (my cousin, Jannelle's, little girl).

Fall Time

Well it has been awhile since I have posted. I have tried to spend more time with Rylynn when I can. So before Halloween, Rylynn and I went over to Tate's Orchard and we got apples and a pumpkin. We took some pictures of her next to her pumpkin she picked out. She really enjoyed looking around at all the fall decorations.
