Another exciting week/weekend all wrapped up, tied with a bow. :)  Ryan had his first full week of kindergarten last week, and flew through like a champ!  Loved every bit of it except the chicken fajitas. ;)  He's learning already to write his numbers, coming home singing new songs everyday, his favorite thing so far is P.E., and he's sleepin like a baby....wait, make that better than a baby. :)  He's completely zonked out by 8:00 almost every night and most mornings I have to wake him up at 7:00.  :)
Colby's missing his brother something fierce, and can't wait till we go pick him up everyday!  Most mornings he says something along the lines of "I wish Ryan just wanted to stay home with us and eat toast & watch sports center."  :)  But then we come home, and have our toast, and watch our cartoons, and play with our blocks and run errands. I'm going to tether him to my side next time we go to the store; all of these ladies that work at Walgreens & Super Saver just want to keep him. ;)  He's such a funny lil fart.  He usually ends up running errands with me dressed as Luigi, often wearing his hat from his Halloween costume and some mismatched gloves. :)  He jabbers with everyone we meet, and people are always telling me how sweet and funny and well mannered my boy is.  :)  Makes a mama proud.  He's a little jokester, crosses his eyes at me, calls me a silly dork!!!  Tells me I'm so pretty, brings me "flowers", and sticks his tongue out at me. :)  We hold hands while we walk, and snuggle up to watch Wubbzy. :)  Then.......we go pick up brother, and suddenly Mom's not so much fun. :)
Tonight Ryan had his first soccer practice, ohmygosh, going to be soooo cute watching those lil farites out there running around. Can't wait till his next practice and first game. :)
Mom & Dad came down yesterday and spent the afternoon hanging out, supper at DQ, spent the night, Mom hung out today with Colby while I worked; I don't know which one of them was more spoiled. ;)
Speaking of work, in a couple of weeks I will come upon the one year anniversary of working at Columbus Women's Healthcare!!!  Unbelievable!!  No way does it seem like a whole year since I changed jobs already; it's been a blessed year, and I'm very happy with the transition. I still miss my girls up in Norfolk, but have found a whole 'nother set of wonderful friends & coworkers, employers & staff.  Plus the added bonus of being here in town, so close to run Ryan to school, easy to work part-time, etc.  It's working out really well.  Nate just came upon 3 years at A.D.M. and is cruising right along; it sure has helped since they've hired a few more PC Techs to help him out.  :)
We're planning on going to the state fair in Grand Island this weekend, looking forward to a few days away, and a date night with my husband. :)
In the mean time, here are a few pics from Nate's cousin's wedding over last weekend. :)
