Ryan NEVER did this!

Poor Evan....it's true that subsequent children get slightly neglected. I never wanted it to be this way. We always attended to Ryan when ever he peeped--what else did we have to do? :) Well sometimes Evan has to wait for me to finish loading the dishwasher or help Ryan in the bathroom (Ry would like to do it all on his own....but that does not turn out very well!) It's true the work load quadruples with a second baby.... not double as I naively thought!

Oh Brother!

Hi..... can you tell we are related?

Any given day.........

Wow! Where did 2008 go? We feel like we have been running for the last year! Brandon is of coarse busy as ever getting through his last year of medical residency. We welcomed our second son in May...almost a month early! Our first baby turned three in May....*SAD* where did the time go? We were also out of town every single month in 2008 to fun places like the Caribbean, Cancun Mexico, Montana, Brookings Or., Calistoga Ca., St Helena Ca.,Seaside Or., Tillamook Or. Not to mention numerous trips down south to Los Angeles to see Nana & Papa. Our most recent trip to LA was quite an adventure we decided to avoid getting stranded on snowy roads and take Amtrak.... Our second time with Ryan first time with the baby. It was actually a lot of fun--Ryan is still totally infatuated with trains so checking out the front of the engine and eating in the dinning car was a big treat for him. We have been so busy have not had time to post any pics or fun stories from all of our gallivanting. Here is a stab at getting caught up.
