Happy Fourth!

Well, Ryan started his residency this week, and yes, it is true, he is gone quite a bit! He is loving every minute of it though and is so happy. So to kick off Ryan's residency, Ron and Debbie came and visited for his last weekend of freedom! Lily loves her grandparents and loved playing with Grandpa Ron and loved Grandma Debbie's company in the backseat of the car! We can't wait to see you and the rest of our family again in just a few days!

So the fourth was a little different this year, and was a foreshadowing of holidays to come we think...Ryan was on call, so we made the most of it and went to see him for lunch and dinner! Lily loved the resident room and made herself at home quickly. It is so neat to see Ryan in his scrubs and his physician's coat! He really is a doctor, it's crazy!

So Lily's newest trick...she folds her arms for prayers. She often does it on cue, but yesterday at church she looked around at everyone praying during Sunday school and stopped what she was doing to fold her arms and bow her head. How cute is that! She also has become quite interested in books, and sitting on big people chairs to read them. She is talking, well jabbering so much these days...I'm just waiting for that first real word to eek its way out! Come on Lily, put those final consonants on your words (sorry, its a Speech Pathologist thing!).
