Foster baby girl is here

 

Okoboji During Quarantine

 We were sooooo lucky to get to go to the lake this year. We all had our fingers crossed but didn't think it would work out. We went for two glorious weeks of unwinding. 

This was the first time we had spent much time with Nat & Neil in years and Auden is THE BEST baby in the world. We worked on high fives, waving and "where is my nose". We introduced him to TV and gluten. :)

The boys loved the swing, the NEW front sleeping room, Auden, swimming to the neighbors island. We drove to Jefferson to see GG and we got one day with Lizzie. Ryan tried skiing and wake boarding, he got up on both but then freaked out and dropped. They both drove the jet ski with dad as the passenger and LOVED that!

Ryan John Is 9!

 Happy Birthday Ry Guy! You have grown so much this summer. You are catching your brother in height and foot size. Your a size 3 shoe, and 50% for height and weight. You weigh 61 lbs and are 4ft 4inches.

For your birthday Grandma and Grandpa were here a few days early and they bought you Confetti Bundt Cakes and gave you every color under the rainbow of Duct Tape to create all that you create.

On your birthday we sat in the dining room and you opened all the rest of your presents. We got you a frisbee golf set and your BFF Shane came over and we all went up to the pool park and played. I was a ball of nerves to go get your new baby foster sister. I totally forgot to put sunscreen on all of us, but I seem to be the only one that got burned. After golf we went to Sonic and all got lunch. Shane got picked up, I went to go get baby from the NICU and Dad took you and Connor to the Dentist. No cavities, yay!

You said you knew you were going to get a baby for your birthday! You told us back one night in April that this was going to happen and you stuck to it. Thanks for sharing your special day with your little sis!
