My mother says that when she doesn't hear from me, she knows that I am either busy or things are not going well and I don't feel like chatting. The lack of blog posts lately have been because of the first reason. We've been very busy the past three weeks. Thomas, Ryan and I visited Nan and Pop in Lake George for a couple of weeks while I recovered from a small surgery.
The kids and grandparents got loads of exercise. All of it was great fun.

| A serious case of "If Thomas can do it, so can I!" |
 |
| Splash Party! |
 |
| Teaching Thomas to kick |
 |
| Teaching Ryan to kick |
 |
| The perennial favorite, blue ball |
 |
| Hiking with Hunter |
Some of the exercise was done under the guise of work like helping Papa make some things in his shop or the true labor of love, learning how to make homemade strawberry ice cream!
Or doing yard work with new toys like Ryan's very own lawn mower that Thomas gave him for his birthday or one of Papa's tools.

We were busy, but not so busy that we didn't notice that Ryan really needed a haircut. Thank goodness Papa was on hand because Ryan's experience this time was not nearly as positive and easy as the first haircut! Despite Thomas' excellent example, Papa had to hold Ryan in his arms while a very patient stylist cut around him.
While we were in Lake George, our little Ryan Man turned one! It was hard to tell who enjoyed the beach ball themed cake more, Thomas or Ryan....or me.
So don't worry. We're just busy.
