Well did I
say it would be a short absence? I lied. Can’t believe it’s been
nearly 9 weeks since our last entry, Jessica is really slacking!!!!!
So, we’ve all moved on, Jessica is now
28 (again), I’m still short of 40 and Ryan is 3! We all had good
birthdays and got plenty of time together to enjoy food, fun &
presents. As a group present we went down to Williamsburg to stay at
Great Wolf Lodge, a water park with a few other activities to enjoy.
Ryan had a great time in the water enjoying the slides and avoiding the
showers (mostly). I’m sure as he gets older he’ll get even more fun
when we return.
Colin managed to scoot across the
Atlantic for a long weekend, not disrupted by seeing any karaoke singers
this time. We introduced him to Japanese Steak (He ate the rice, but
viewed the noodles very suspiciously) and the incredibly rare delicacy
of Potbelly’s - you may not consider this that weird but consider he was
35 or so before he ever ate pizza!
We fitted in a visit to the Air/Space
museum where Ryan picked up an inflatable shuttle, and also to the
Baltimore Aquarium, which unfortunately is undergoing a refit and the
shark/ray pool is currently unavailable. We did however get to see a
Ray being fed in the Aussie section which was very cool.
Ryan is undergoing several update
tests for his speech, sadly his original teacher, Lisa had to let him go
as her commitment is only till 3, but another teacher will soon slot
into place and continue the good work. Ryan’s vocabulary has really
increased, so now we can enjoy hearing “Moose” (I feel a success as a
Father now - Julia Turner knows what I mean!) “Robot” - from his new
favorite film - Wall-E and many other phrases which you can see give him
pleasure to be able to communicate.
Photos from his 3rd birthday
photo-shoot and his party will soon be up I hope, and maybe we can find a
video with some speech as well.
We’ll do our best to keep the gap between entries a shorter one!
