Between having a new baby (Ryan is 3 weeks old today!) and the fact that Tyler has been sick all week, I have been feeling just a little house-bound and was very ready to get out today. Luckily, my great activity-planning friend, Nollie, had organized a group tour of the Ohio Fire Museum. So I got up extra early in order to get both boys and myself ready and fed - believe me, that was no small task. Tyler was in a great mood this morning ... until the fireman rang the firehouse bell. I think he was still feeling a little sensitive because he turned around and ran to the door of the museum sobbing, "I go to Tyler's house now." It took quite a bit of bribery (a happy meal if you are a happy boy!) to get him to even turn around to go back to get Ryan. Luckily, the tour wasn't too long and then the kids got to play on the fire trucks and go down the fire pole in the play area. I convinced Tyler that it would be fun the drive the fire truck, but when I went to take his picture, he was still a bit grumpy. Eventually, Tyler perked up and had a fun time. On the way home, however, I learned that my bribes are no longer forgotten and we had to stop at McDonald's for a happy meal.

Was it really worth all the effort?

They NEVER forget the bribes!
Kudos to you for taking on such an outing! I'm glad that Tyler ended up having a good time! I can't believe how big he's gotten! He is so darn cute!!
Lisa Jacobs,
I have to be the worst friend ever!! I have totally been thinking of you and wanting to come see you but Isaac was sick for almost a week, then of course it had to go through the rest of us, to chalk it up I had New Beginnings which was a blast but took any extra time I had. So just know I have been thinking of you girl and will give you a call soon because I am totally dying to see you and cute little Ryan in person.
Lisa, How fun to see your sweet little boys. I loved reading about your adventures. I hope all is going well with the Jacobs family. Congratulations on the birth of your new little Ryan! We love you!
Kath and Dave
