I am not good at naming things – and other observations by: Ryan Noel: The Big One
http://ryan-noel.blogspot.com/2009/07/big-one.html
On this day one year ago my son was born. Today I find myself nearly as speechless about the moment as I was then, which is why I think I'll just re-post the events as I documented them last year. I do think it's worth mentioning that the indescribable, uncontainable love I felt for Simeon the moment he was born has grown 365 fold. I sit straight up and look around the room for an intruder. "I think my water broke! The car ride – 6:00 am. Do not ask me questions. I'm still waiting for the third rule.

The day after Christmas, with distension of the belly. Due to broccoli casserole over-stuffing, my wife, Sarah and I decided to escape the holiday madness (and the chocolate covered pretzels on the kitchen counter) for the The Walmarts. You, the reader, are probably saying, "The Walmarts! The day after Christmas? That's the very definition of holiday madness! And you're right. It's just a different kind. We weren't headed to the The Walmarts just to people-watch. Hit the snack bar.". Hello, I'm Ryan Noel.

I am not good at naming things – and other observations by: Ryan Noel: Holding on | Letting go
http://ryan-noel.blogspot.com/2009/08/holding-on-letting-go.html
Holding on Letting go. This entry was supposed to be different. Producing web log entries has become more labored in recent months, and I had resisted all urges to blog about writer's blogkage. It would only sound like whining, I thought. Besides, I had my. Annual trip to Lewis Lake. With my best friends and that would surely provide the impetus for new observations and. My time in Kentucky did not disappoint; I spent much of the car ride home mapping my next entry. Our family dog, died. In the street an...

Bath time is Daddy/Simeon time. Bath Time (BT) is preceded by Naked Baby Time (NBT) and is kicked off with a little BT dance. I don't have any footage of the dance, but I do have a little glimpse of Bath Time itself. Hope you enjoy. Hello, I'm Ryan Noel. His Father's Listening Skills. I was showering last night, my back to the shower head when I heard behind me, plah. In the time it took me to think, "hey, that's a women's shoe in the bathtub with me" — plah. Hello, I'm Ryan Noel.

His Father's Listening Skills. I was showering last night, my back to the shower head when I heard behind me, plah. In the time it took me to think, "hey, that's a women's shoe in the bathtub with me" — plah. 8212; a matching shoe sat beside the first collecting the water the drain didn't. I called, "You might want to get in here." Not in the shower, in the bathroom. Although I wouldn't put up a fight if she misunderstood me.*. Incredulously, Sarah said, "Simeon, I told you to put them in the closet.

I am not good at naming things – and other observations by: Ryan Noel: Happy Thanksgiving
http://ryan-noel.blogspot.com/2009/11/happy-thanksgiving.html
I'm sure there will be a steady stream of what-I'm-thankful-for blog posts in the coming days. I find them all very uplifting. I find Thanksgiving very uplifting, actually. And when you add a Weber charcoal-grilled turkey and an embarrassment of caloric riches, well, you've got a pretty fantastic holiday, in my estimation. I sincerely hope yours is too. Hello, I'm Ryan Noel. November 24, 2009 at 1:37 PM. He brings more joy to our lives than we can contain! November 24, 2009 at 8:04 PM.

I am not good at naming things – and other observations by: Ryan Noel: Simmetry
http://ryan-noel.blogspot.com/2009/06/simmetry.html
A month and about fifteen days ago, we took Simeon to the Indianapolis Museum of Art to have his picture made. Cliff Ritchey. Was the guy to make them, as far as we were concerned. Simple geometric shapes pepper the grounds of the IMA and it proved to be a nice little backdrop for our little Wonder. Hope you like them. Hello, I'm Ryan Noel. June 17, 2009 at 10:11 PM. June 17, 2009 at 11:51 PM. June 18, 2009 at 8:23 PM. The fact that s is such a dapper gent doesnt hurt, either. June 19, 2009 at 1:04 PM.

I am not good at naming things – and other observations by: Ryan Noel: Catching up with the Joneses
http://ryan-noel.blogspot.com/2009/07/cast-of-characters.html
Catching up with the Joneses. Sarah's family members are prolific storytellers. Dinner and after-dinner times are chock-full with stories. Almost as amusing as the stories themselves is the pre-story ritual of establishing who the primary character is and to whom they may or may not be related. The pre-story ritual goes something like this:. You know the Jones boy? No, not Billy, his younger brother? The one with the mole? No, that's Johnny, the oldest.". Isn't he in jail? Jan was working at C. Roger...

Many Thurdays past, two days before Halloween, I was standing in Rod Smith. S kitchen enjoying some of his sister Jenny's world famous* curry. Parenthetically, I understand the term "world famous" is tossed around willy-nilly by just about every restaurant trying to convince you their dish is more impressive than it really is, but people have been ooh-ing and aah-ing across the globe over Jenny's curry. Yes, standing in Rod's kitchen. Ryan run before he asks another one. Your only line is 'I'd like to go...
