Chandler wanted to start his own web show, so I helped him… Here’s the result:

Warner’s Special Gift of Joy

Ryan — Sat, 10 May 2008 01:15:10 +0000

I got a “picture” message from Elly today whilst at a client site working on a PC…. and when I laughed out loud I was obligated to share what my outburst was all about. I had to tell him… “I just got a photo from my wife of a big log dropped right on the carpet by one of my twins.” Time to potty train apparently.

The photo below is an artists interpretation of what the aforementioned turd would have looked like with googley eyes and a mouth. Thought it would lessen the shock of seeing feces… plus I don’t have that mechanism that tells my brain what is socially unacceptable to post on a blog. This is why I keep trying to get Elly to do it…

Amo al tango!

Elly and I took some tango lessons, thought I would share a performance with the family…

Sunday At Nana’s House

Ryan — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 17:19:59 +0000

Both Warner and Reagan are mostly shut-ins at home, they loved being able to run free outdoors for once.

Between Elly’s photo skills and Reagans pudgy squishy cuteness, this shot ended up perfect!

Bailee was like the Beast Master™, She had that grasshopper latched to her shirt all day.

So the toothfairy started a bad precedent that hopefully she can live up to… giving our kids 5 bucks per tooth. I swear Chandler lost 4 teeth within a couple weeks… coincidence? I think not.

That is seriously hypnotic…

I’m so glad when Daddy comes home…

Elly — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:54:54 +0000

…glad as I can be! Clap my hands and jump for joy and climb upon his knee. Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this… grab his cheeks and give him what? A GREAT BIG KISS!

Sleepy time

Elly — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:49:38 +0000

Bedtime is always fun at my house. It’s not chaotic at all. My children never cry…at least not at the same time. That goodness for that!!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Today is Ryan’s 31st birthday. That those of you who know him will get a kick out of this picture. Ryan, you’re the best. Thanks for working so hard and for being the best father I know (even if you don’t do laundry). Love ya babe.
