Fun with Friends


July has been good to us and the lake was a great way to get cool and bear the heat. The Fitzgerald family joined us a couple weeks ago with their daughter Abby who's 7 months older than Ryan and Emily who just turned 1. They're such fun, easy-going kids and Ryan and Abby had a ball playing together all weekend. We got the tube out and took each of the kids for a ride with mom or dad. Little Miss Emily had the most fun of all of them and they all got A's for being adventurous, having fun and doing a great job of following directions while they tubed. The weekend did get off to a rocky start when we were out front taking Callie potty and a bumble bee stung Ryan on the ear. He immediately screamed and wouldn't let go of it and it took a good 15 minutes for him to calm down but he eventually did and distractions helped. His ear swelled up huge (he looked like half a Dumbo) but fortunately we learned he's not allergic to bee stings.

Back in KC he had a fun night hanging out with Henry while Kelli and I caught up. Henry is so good with him and showed him how everything worked then they watched Cars together which was pretty cute. Our friends Ryan and Missi who we usually get to see at the lake just moved back to Lee's Summit so we visited their new house while the boys rough housed in the back yard.

It's already a lot of fun watching Ryan grow up together with Jake and Cade Riggin, Henry Koons, Charlie Collins and Abby Fitzgerald, and it's only getting more memorable.


Abby and Ryan with Todd. If you look closely,
you'll see his swollen ear from the bee sting.

water slide again (which he kept referring to as a waterfall)
