I'm sad that all our adventure is coming to an end, but I'm really excited to get home and start sharing it with you.  I thought I would...

Today is the first official day of fall. To celebrate I found these photos I took of Ruby when she was seven months old with hardly any hair.  I don't think it's going to feel like fall over here until we get back from our trip. I am working on a packing list now and shorts are nowhere to be found. Jordan recently...

This is what the last two Saturdays have looked like in our home, and i'm not even mad about it. It's been so refreshing to have normal fall-like saturdays at home. I'm sure all day long football will get tiring soon, but Jordan always does extra chores and folds all the laundry on game days, so I'll take it!  Ruby doesn't sit still...

This past weekend was so refreshing. We spent a lot of time with friends, as well as a day at home. It's amazing what a normal workweek and a normal weekend can do. I think I'm going to like this year now that Jordan is a second year resident. And today! today! he has the ENTIRE day off! He was supposed to work...

I hope you're having a lovely weekend! This is truly feeling like a normal weekend for us. After spending the majority of this year without normal weekends, this Saturday is feeling really nice. Jordan only had to be gone for a couple hours this morning! It's even a pretty full weekend, but we're all together.  Last night I went out for a girls...

While I am a little excited about cooler weather, I'm definitely one who loves to squeeze the last bit of life out of a season. I'm trying hard to not let the heat get to me, and to not complain...

Ruby in South Carolina last October, exactly 5 months old.  It doesn't feel quite real yet, but today we are in South Carolina. We got in late last night after driving all day. I woke up this morning, drank a cup of coffee, and we all headed straight to the lake. And I already learned how to surf on the wake. And the...

Happy Monday, dear friends. It's another happy Monday over here in the Ryan house. Yesterday, Jordan finished up his last day of his hardest rotation yet. And while today isn't technically a day off, (he's working tonight) we're calling it. We've been soaking it in all morning. Several times we've reminded ourselves that he's really done. And now he has one more rotation...
