Here is the first of a few chicoland blogs that will get you updated on the life of Ryland…

General Overview:

Rylz is now 19 months old. He is a running, climbing, jabbering fool. He has about 20-25 discernible words in his vocabulary. His favorite phrases are “Oh Cool” and “Two Shoes”. His favorite word is Ball. His favorite toy is anything looking like a ball. His favorite activity is kicking, throwing, or sitting on any ball. His favorite thing to eat is Clementine Oranges. He likes going to the “Studio” (said… Oh-leo!) with Dadda. He can pee in a toilet (still working on the other… he does have the grunting part down though). He is 34 inches tall, wears a size 7 shoe, and 2T clothing.

Here are a few photos we took of Rylz chillin’ and cheezin’ in his new Rangers hat we bought him at the mall tonight.

A total of 57 days have passed since we last blogged.

The lengthy hiatus was not intentional… at least not at first.

Not to get all “preachy” in my first blog after almost two months… but I have been reminded that it’s healthy for all of us to take time to step away from the barrage of commitments that we carry; to find respite away from our everyday routine; to re-discover meaning in the things that should never become mundane; to remember the why’s and who’s in the midst of our words.

Thank you for your patience with us.

Updates and pictures will follow in the days to come…
