My little helper!

Ryan loves to help me around the house. With laundry and cooking dinner (pictures attached) He also is very entertained by the tupperware drawer. It's fun to watch him play. I can see the "wheels turning"!!! Another favorite "toy" is an empty kleenex box. It's fun to use as a drum. It's also fun to put toys inside the empty box and rattle them around. Ryan has been sleeping well at night and has also been taking good naps in the afternoon. He has started not only pulling up on everything but he will also "hover" and balance before falling back on his butt.

Happy 5 year anniversary!

Friday, March 18th Ryan was diagnosed with RSV...Happy Anniversary! Saturday night Tim and I were talking about what we were going to do. Ryan couldn't go to daycare (and we didn't want him to with all the germs!). We could ask friends to help but not for the entire week! We were short-handed at work, so I knew there was no way I could take time off and it's never easy for Tim to take off either.

We thought we would just see if either of the grandmas were available. Grandma Lou had two proms and a wedding that she had to design flowers for so we tried Grandma Vicki. Grandma Vicki was in Omaha visiting Addison and even though she was very busy with work she was able to come to Murray for the WHOLE week!!! We were so lucky Grandma Vicki could come and help because it was an especially interesting week! After 2 days of breathing treatments Ryan developed a rash that covered his entire body. Back to the doctor we went. The only connection we could make to the rash was the breathing treatments. After changing the medication and adding steroids for 4 days and a children's allergy medication to help clear the rash we were back in business. Ryan was feeling much better by the end of the week. The pictures attached show Ryan's rash!

Nebraska State BBall Tourney

The Nebraska state basketball tournament was March 10-12 in Lincoln. We flew back to watch Mike and the South Sioux City Cardinals WIN state! It was fun seeing family and friends. The weather was beautiful for March. Ryan loved seeing his grandparents, aunt and uncles and cousin Addison!!!
