Introducing Regan

Regan was born on Friday, November 5. She weighed in at 6 pounds 7 ounces. Ryan is one proud big brother!!

Halloween

For the first time this year I let Ryan choose his own costume. We went online and I showed him many costumes. He chose to be a doctor. I think this may be because we have been to the doctor so much this year that he wanted to be one. We got our money's worth out of the costume this year. He wore it to music class, to school, and finally on Halloween.

Pumpkin Patch

Usually before Halloween Sanjay and I like to take Ryan to a farm about an hour from our house. It has acres of pumpkins, hayrides, mazes, and animals. At 37 weeks pregnant, I was afraid to go too far from home. We ended up at our local pumpkin patch which was just as much fun. Ryan was able to ride trains, ride a horse, and chose some pretty great pumpkins.




And, there is a picture you rarely see. Me, in front of the camera, with my big boy as opposed to behind the camera capturing the memories.

Fall Fun

We have been very busy lately, but always find some time for fun. Back in September we enjoyed the fair in our town. Ryan, as always, had to ride on the train, but also wanted to go on a swing ride by himself. This made me very nervous, but Sanjay reassured me that he would be just fine. What do you know? He had a great time!



Sanjay has season tickets to Bruins football. Ryan and I were able to make one game. Of course, it just happened to be one of the hottest games. Ryan had his frozen lemonade, watched Joe Bruin, and waited patiently for the marching band (which he loves) to perform at half time. Although the game was a lot of fun, we had to leave after half time. A pregnant mama could not handle the heat and a toddler needed a nap!



Look at the similarities between those two! Judging by the shared expressions on their faces, yes, indeed they are related!





Ryan joined a multi-sports class recently. It is 6 weeks long and focuses on basketball, t-ball, and soccer. I constantly have to remind myself that he is only 2years old. I expect him to go out on the court or field and excel, then he runs away from the coach and wants Sanjay or me to do the skills with him. I'm sure in due time he will pick up the skills needed to play these sports. Until then, I just sit on the sidelines drink my coffee, breathe deeply, and laugh a lot! It is actually quite funny to watch when I don't take it so seriously.
