We're Gettin' There...

Well, we've moved in (mostly). All of the furniture is finally set up, and all of the clothes are finally put away. All that's left now is to put the "finishing touches" on the house to make it a home. We need to hang pictures, we need to file our misc papers, things like that. Still no new phone numbers, so keep calling our cells. By the way, I noticed we never posted our new address:

1722 Hoover Ave.
South Bend, IN 46615

Ryan Patrick is doing well, and has had a number of firsts - first bath in the sink, first trip to the zoo, first trip to the mall, and first time rolling over (okay, it was more of an accident than an intentional roll, but it's a start). Also, the three of us went to Notre Dame campus and walked around; Ryan Patrick was excited the whole time! The nights are getting better, as far as the baby goes - he's into a routine, eating every three hours, crying every night at 6pm (I call it the nightly "re-boot"), and going through more diapers than I thought existed in the world!

I have posted some photos from the day after the movers dumped piles of our things all over the house ("unpacked"). Thankfully, we have made a lot of progress since then. Also, I have posted some pics of the boy taking a bath, preparing for dinner, and pouting.

Hope all is well, and will post again soon,
Ryan, Amy, & Ryan Patrick

Time To Go...

Hello everyone,

It's my 28th birthday today, and junior is now one week old. With all that age between us, I figured it's time we do something productive - so tomorrow we move! The movers are coming to pack up our furniture, and Amy, the boy, and I are leaving for South Bend on Monday. It will take us two or three days to make the trip, and once we're there it will take us a few days to "set up shop", so don't expect a new post for about a week or two. Once we have everything set up, I'll take some more pics of the house so that all of you can feel like you're there with us. Before we go, however, I thought I might share some photos of the boy at home (mostly so everyone can see how he gets his good looks from his father!).

Talk to everyone soon,
Ryan, Amy, & Ryan Patrick
