First Steps

Ryan took his first steps last night! We were all sitting in the family room watching TV together and he was cruising between James and I. We were all watching him and I think he didn't realize that he wasn't holding onto my legs anymore and took a few steps to James. We got him to go a few rounds between us, but then he fell down once, and wouldn't try again.

Knowing how cautious Ryan is, he probably won't trying walking again for a while, but I'm hoping he is walking well by the time it's warm enough to play outside. When he starts trying again, I'll get it on video and post it for you all to see.

Blogging question

Does anyone know how to make it so that you can click on a picture on our blog and have it show up bigger? Some of the pictures work on the blog that we did about the house, and some don't. It's driving me crazy and I can't figure it out! Thanks for the help!

Anyone want to buy a house??? Anyone???

Today we listed our house for sell in preparation for our move to California. I guess I haven't officially announced that James accepted a position working for a practice in Ventura. We are really excited, but today's events brought with them a very bittersweet feeling for me. We have loved this house, our time in Ohio, and all the friends that we have made. On one hand we never want it to end! But on the other hand, we cannot wait to get to California and move on with our lives. But I guess we all have to face the real world sometime, and our time is coming up quick!


So, on that note, if you want to buy our house... (Anyone? Anyone???) feel free to check out our blog that has more information and some pictures. You can also find it on www.realtor.com and other real estate websites.

By the way, the pictures of Tyler's new cowboy room are much much better on the blog listed above. I had my 3-year-old photography assistant helping when I took the last post's.

Just in Time to Move

A few months ago, I put Tyler down for his regular afternoon nap (I miss those days!). I guess he didn't want to go to sleep because he came out a while later saying that something was wrong with his wall. When I went in to investigate, I discovered that he had picked at the cute wallpaper border and tore a bunch of it down.

Now that we are about to put our house on the market, we were forced to redecorate his room. James painted it, and I did all the decorations. I gave myself a $100 budget (not including the new dresser) to turn it into a cowboy room. I spent way too much time and effort on it, but I think it turned out rather cute, and I didn't go over my budget too much. I still need to get some pictures printed up for the frames, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
