A few of my favorite things

The past couple of months have been crazy busy. So much so that blogging felt a lot like a chore. But, on the outside chance that people are reading this, I figured I should give the cliff notes version of whats been going on.

Most importantly, Ryder turned 3 in March. It's hard to believe that my baby is so old:) He is fully potty-trained, can recognize some letters and numbers, knows his colors, is passionate about dinosaurs, Toy Story, and Cars. He is our little comedian, always looking for a laugh or a smile. I so appreciate that about him, as he has definitely helped to make us relax a little during all the changes that have come about this year.



Grandma and Grandpa Buckle came to Dallas for spring break and Ryder's birthday. We had such a great time, and they of course, in true Grandma and Grandpa style, spoiled the boys rotten!!! Trips to the museum, the Disney Store, Play areas, it was a none stop, fun filled, weekend.





Zane started and ended his soccer season already. He loved it. Soccer was a much better fit for him than hockey was. He is already signed up for soccer camp this summer and he says he is ready to play again in the fall. He started swim lessons (along with Ryder) this week, and has asked to play basketball this coming winter. He seems to really like sports, and arts and crafts. give Zane a craft to work on, and he is focused and determined to finish it. He will disappear for a couple hours with the right project, and no interference from little brother.
We finally got Zane into a Mom's Day Out Program 2 days a week. It has been a HUGE blessing for all of us. We took Zane to see his new school last night. It was quite an experience for all of us and it made Zane even more excited to start school.
So now we are in a holding pattern, not much going on until we head back to NY for part of the summer. All in all, we are really loving TX. We have started to make some great friends, and we really enjoy the surroundings.
