Hi
everyone, clearly the lockout is now beginning to have a huge impact.
Jessica still has nothing to contribute here.... so it’s James again
bringing you up to date with Ryan’s adventures.
We’ve had quite a busy few weeks since
our last entry. Ryan is continuing to slide, as long as he climbs up
the slide and down the steps. Sometimes though evil Dad is obligated to
grab him and make him slide down, which he finds entertaining.
As part of the Halloween events Ryan
went to the National Zoo, he went as Eeyore, which was an inspired
choice as the costume was, A> unique that night, & B> very
warm & cosy for him. Jessica managed to help him select plenty of
treats she would like and she even managed to share some with him as
well! As & when the photos are updated, I’ll return here and make
it the default picture.
Ryan had his first dentist appointment
last week, which was better than expected. It’s possible he suffers
from the same “small mouth” syndrome I have (no comments from the
monkeys in the back please) and could need a little work to sort that
out. But everything looked good and the dentist was happy with how his
teeth look so far. Here’s hoping he never has teeth out with no
anesthetic - I can vouch that’s less fun than a boot in the nuts!
Having had a good day picking pumpkins
with Maggie, Jeff & Fiona, with tag-a-long Jen a couple of weeks
ago, we came home and I flicked onto the motor racing, only to quickly
realize that a huge accident had occurred, it became apparent that
someone had been injured and as information came out it was obvious it
wasn’t good news. It turned out that Dan Wheldon, a driver I’d followed
closely & supported ever since he came to USA and began driving
Indycar had sustained fatal injuries. Just 5 months earlier he’d won
the biggest race of the year - the Indy 500 - and that morning had
signed a deal to return to full-time driving. He left a wife and 2
sons, just 2 years & 6 months old.
Even though he died doing a job he
loved, it’s probably little consolation to his family & kids who
face a future without him, the ages of his children struck us both and
reminded us to remember our responsibilities towards Ryan & each
other.
Till next time.
