We went to the lake this weekend with the Horton clan and the Ryan clan (sans my brother Grant who couldn't join us) so needless to say, Ryan and Callie got tons of attention from all of their cousins. Kristen and I took Olivia, Jack and Ryan down early and spent the day Friday playing dime skee ball in Osage Beach. It's a true throw-back to 1950 and we had a great time. Friday night my sister and her family met up with us and we enjoyed an evening out at Coconuts which is an outdoor restaurant with a beach where the kids went swimming after dinner. We spent lots of time at the pool, Todd gave all the kids jet ski rides and they all went tubing behind the boat. Saturday night, we went to Jolly Rogers for my niece Katie's birthday dinner. She's the oldest of all the cousins, and turned 10 this weekend! We had a fun time together and hope that Grant's able to join us next year.
Ryan had his 4 month check up last week and I learned my lesson the hard way after his 2 month immunizations so we were well-prepared with Tylenol this time and had no troubles. He also started cereal this week and -after a few failed attempts the previous weeks - is now taking to it pretty well. His sleeping is still on the fritz so no repeated nights of nice long rest for us quite yet. I've been visiting child care providers last week and this week so hopefully we'll be able to nail down those plans soon!
Oh, and we got a new camera!!!!

Great pictures! The pirate pose one is really cute, and Ryan seems to be saying, 'Get me out of this life jacket so I can be a big kid like my cousins!'
