Our blog posts have become less frequent since I returned to work full-time at the beginning of February, after being home with Ryan most of the time for the past 18 months. The new arrangement is working out well -- I'm enjoying my work, and Rob was able leave the job he didn't enjoy (to put it in polite terms). He is now focusing solely on the business he started a few years ago, which allows him to be home with Ryan 3 days a week. Since Ryan enjoys daycare, he still goes 2 days a week, as he has since last summer when I was working part-time and Rob was at his former job.

We'll post our recent pictures over the next few entries.

Here's Ryan playing hockey wearing his shades and backward hat. His hockey obsession has really exploded in the last few weeks. He has a vinyl-covered foam puck that he hits around the living room, and lately he insists on taking it to bed at night and during naps.



Playing with his trains in another great outfit:



Hanging out with his Civil War (Union soldier) Boyd's Bear. He is very attached to his stuffed animals lately. He sleeps with 5-6 of them, carries them around the house, and usually takes one or two along on car rides.
