http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. We went to Ryken's cousin's birthday party a few weeks ago, and it was a superhero party. Well now, everytime we play, we have to pretend we're super heroes. The good guy.the bad guy.save Elliana! Lots of fun. :) The other day we were in getting ready to rush out the door, and I couldn't beleive we had time to spare, without being late. I thrust my fist into the air, and shouted "I'm supermom! Ohhhshoot. Should have thought of that I guess. Posted by Rob, Lisa and Ryken John.

http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 03, 2009. Posted by Rob, Lisa and Ryken John. Well, Christmas has come and gone, and once again, I'm in awe that we're already in another new year. We had a great time with both sides of our family, and Rob had 5 days off to spend with us. Ryken was so excited that it snowed! We haven't seen a white Christmas in years, and it was beautiful. Actually it's snowing as I type this. I love the cozy feeling of being snowed in. (For about 3 hrs, then I need to get out! Ryken was veyr excited a...

Ryken & Elliana: May 2008
http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. Posted by Rob, Lisa and Ryken John. Well, I'm officially overdue. Past the point, cooked this one long enough, good to go. I think I've been in the "nesting stage" for about 3 weeks now. I'm definately ready to meet this little one! Ryken asks me everyday, "why's that baby not coming out? We're all getting anxious to see what it's going to be! He loves to make me laugh, and is starting to tell jokes that we've taught him. " What's a pirates favorite letter? Rob, Lisa and Ryken John.

Brunettes have way more fun!: Happy Mothers Day
http://dancelikenooneiswatching-jess.blogspot.com/2007/05/happy-mothers-day.html
Brunettes have way more fun! May 13, 2007. This is for all you moms, I know its a bit sappy but thats ok, we are women, sappy is what we do. What Is a Mother? A mother can be almost any size or any age, but she won't admit to anything over thirty. A mother has soft hands and smells good. A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house, her children's kisses, an automatic washer and Daddy. Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it. Real Mothers know that dried playdough doesn't come ...

Ryken & Elliana: March 2008
http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2008. It'd been raining for so long, that we had to go get some fresh air, even if that meant getting a little muddy. He loved splashing in those puddles! Posted by Rob, Lisa and Ryken John. 31 weeks in these pics. Posted by Rob, Lisa and Ryken John. Well, I'm almost 33 weeks, and I've started the countdown. This baby is a real kicker (not as strong as Ryken was) and moves around like crazy! Not that bad actually. It might turn into a nickname for one of the names that we had chosen.

Ryken & Elliana
http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-already-how-did-this-happen.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. How did this happen? Ryken just finished his last day of preschool, for the Christmas break. Elliana is going to be 19 months? Elliana is talking a mile a minute. The phrases that she comes up with daily, astound me; "now what? Look at me," "see that? I want that one! Rocky, rocky 2 minutes, mommy" " what'you doing? At the store, looking at clothes.)"away 'n manger." "jingle way! And my absolute favorite."mommy hold you! Warms my heart, and reminds me of how little she once was.

Ryken & Elliana: my big kids!
http://rykenjohn.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-big-kids.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. We recently added a chocolate lab puppy to the mix: Trixie. She's a beautiful dog, and a great friend for Eddie. Very sweet, and great with the kids. Ryken is almost done preschool for the year, and will start kindergarten in Sept. That was tough! Hearing friends talk about sending their kids to kindergarten, I always thought I wouldn't be like that. Teary eyed and sentimental.but I was wrong! I assured him that it was the best one ever. She asks, "no" I reply. "read story? No" I...
