Reading other blogs....

I have to admit that part of the reason I have jumped on the blogging bandwagon is peer pressure... I have been introduced to so many fantastic, meaningful blogs. Although I don't know these people personally I find it kinda neat that they let me into their lives to pray for them when the going gets tough. People who know me know that I am a bit of a worrier (to say the least)! Well, a lot of the blogs I follow are those of families with sick children. I HATE to even imagine what these families are going through but once I read the blog of a family experiencing something awful I have to add it to my list and check for updates. My reason for this post is to explain that as well as I can and to explain the "Praying for Stellan" blinkie on our blog. I have followed her (MckMama) blog for months now and their youngest is going through some serious issues with his heart. I just cannot get this family out of my head and thoughts, not that I want to... If you are into this kinda thing, please, please, please keep this family in your thoughts and/or prayers.

Just a little back tracking...

We wanted to share some of Ryan's latest professional pictures because they are well.... SO STINKIN CUTE! My friend Tracy is a wonderful photographer here in Corpus. Check her out at http://www.sweetpeaphotography.typepad.com/. We can't wait for Ryan's Easter pictures!

Our Blogging Beginning!

So I am going to give this blogging thing a shot! So many of our friends are so good with it and it is so cool to be able to keep up with what is going on with our loved ones. Today marks almost the 3 month mark that Scott has been deployed. We hear from him often and he is doing very well. He is keeping busy with work, going to the gym, reading, and watching movies from what he says. As hard as it is being a single mom I would never trade with him and miss out on Ryan's daily life. Ryan is becoming quite the little pistol! He FINALLY decided at 14 months that he could walk! He is nearly running now... We have had our first walking accidents in the past couple of days that include a busted lip. You can note that in the pictures from today's Spring Eggstravanganza! The base sponsored the party and Ryan had a great time with his friends Hendrix and Jovani. We came home, had a quick lunch, and a nice 3 hour nap! Enjoy the pictures and until we post again... take care and be safe!

Love, Alana and Ryan
