Will's Chance Meeting...

We went to Ashland and guess who Will met?! One of his "heroes". He's still trying to get over it and hopes to meet him again!

Later!

Blue Man Will...

I got tix for Will to see the Blue Man Group this past Sunday night. He was in AWE the whole time. They were very entertaining and DEFINTITELY kept his attention! He goes on and on about the drums and how they caught stuff with their mouths. He may not have understood the few songs with words, but boy did he like them!

Tucker update...

Had his 6 month appointment (finally). He now is 27.5 inches long, weighs in at 19lbs 2ozs and healthy as can be. The "fun" part was his getting shots. I felt bad for him as I was over his face as she gave him the shots. His expression changed from smiling at me to screaming in a nanosecond and crushed me. The nurse said she was sorry he didn't like her anymore and when I said it wasn't true and picked him up he looked at her and smiled. She was amazed a kid could be so happy. LUCKILY he slept it off and the 4 shots have done no damage to him! Whew!!

Hope all are well!

Ryan, Heather, Will and Tucker

Tucker's 5 Months Old!

Sunday he turned 5 months. We're going to get some of his pics up asap. He had pics made last night. He's a ham in more ways than one!

Will's still a GREAT big brother!

Everyone keep in touch!

UK's win of Louisville football game highlights

WOW! All I can say...WOW!
Have to watch it all to get the full effect. Congrats to a bunch of good guys that deserve a big win!

Tell me...can you think after this?

This young lady is confused...as if you couldn't tell. Funny that I couldn't resist sharing.

4 years and 4 months

The boys are growing up! Will just turned 4 years old. Weighing in at a whopping 35 lbs and 41 inches he is having trouble finding pants that are long enough and still stay up on his skinny little butt! Tucker is now 4 months old. He is giving his brother a run for the money weighing in at 15 lbs 9 oz and 25 inches long. At this age they were almost the same weight - but Will was 2 inches longer. Tucker had his first veggie today - squash and from his face he didn't care to have it again. Will is starting preschool one day a week pretty soon. Funny things he says - "Kneebow" for elbow and his foot felt "busy" when it fell asleep. Tucker is flipping over from his belly to his back all the time and attempting some kind of scooting around when he gets on his back. I'm sure new pics will be on here soon! Check out KidNation on CBS Wednesdays this fall - one of Heather's past students is on it - Kennedy.

Anyone Interested in Helping Change This?

July Picture Update...

Here's some pics from July. Drop us a line!
Ryan and Heather

3 Months Old

Tucker is now 3 months old. Last week he weighed 13lbs at the doctor. He is trying cereal out - there is a picture in here of him eating. We've been to Bowling Green to see cousins and great grandparents. We also took the boys to the Pirate display at the Cincinnati Museum Center/Union Terminal. There are also pictures from the Fourth of July parade.

2 month Dr. Appt.

Tucker went to the Doctor for his two month appt. He is now 22 and 3/4 inches long and 11 lbs and 13.2 oz. He also got 4 shots! Poor guy, but he did pretty well. Will kissed him and told him that his kisses would make Tucker all better.

Tucker's Dedication

Tucker was dedicated to the Lord on June 16th. We had almost all of our families there (and we missed the aunts, uncles, and cousins who couldn't be!) and lots of friends. Heather's brother and Ryan's sister spoke, Heather's grandfather prayed, and Ryan's grandfather did the dedication. Our friend and music minister Brad sang and brought us to tears. The roses you see in the background of the pictures are in memory of Heather's grandparents (Robert who passed in 1991 and Mary who passed just two weeks earlier).

EVERYONE should see this! Can't help but laugh...
This is classic as it gets!

Tucker's 1st Ashland Visit!

Tucker survived his first long trip. Both boys slept both ways. We were PLEASANTLY surprised. See pics here...

Latest from Will and Tucker

FYI...Tucker is now 21 inches long and 9 lbs 12 oz. Gettin' to be a big 'un!
UK should be calling about BOTH boys now!

Tucker update...

Will try to get some pics up soon. He's definitely growing!

Now up to 8lbs 5ozs. Dr's say he's healthy. Changing a lot. Starting to learn night from day (a little). Eats like CRAZY (gets it from his Mommy obviously!).

Hope all are well!

Hope to have some videos up eventually. Just not taken time at this point.

Thanks!

No time...

to update much right now. Lots of visitors and resting today.

Things have been MUCH better than expected.

Thanks!

Last Update of Day...

See below post for link (picture) for latest pics. Put several more up. Been a long day...
We're tired and ready to hit the sack. Have to say that Tucker has been a joy (but what else would we say?!). He's been a perfect baby! He only cries when being bathed or "pushed" to eat. I guess I can go ahead and expect jokes he doesn't take after me on the eating...fire away. He's alert and LOVES his big brother Will. They've had fun already.
He's been asleep most of the day, even through all the passing to each other. HOPEFULLY, he'll let us sleep tonight. Further updates (hopefully video) to follow soon...

Heather and I thank EVERYONE for your prayer, calls, emails and any other support you've given. It will not be forgotten and VERY much appreciated. Tucker and Will are blessed to have extended friends and family that we have.

Thank you all!
Ryan

Meet Tucker Michael...

11:22 am
7lbs 10oz (bigger than big bro)
20 inches

Mom and baby doing well. He's already eaten!!!

More updates to follow....

Tucker Delivery

Still waiting...

Okay...8:40am. No real news at this point. Will's still asleep...since 4am. At least he's resting! Heather's still "comfortable" and we're waiting on the doctor. HOPEFULLY she can start pushing very soon.

Here's first batch of photos...will be updated as the day goes on.

You'll have to right click picture and open in new window to keep this open (to refresh later of course...)

Tucker Delivery

Woohoo!!!

It's now 7am on Monday, April 16. I would have pictures, but I can't find my memory stick reader in the dark right now. We're in the "rest" phase before Heather starts pushing.
Her water broke last night around 11:20. She was complaining that this would not end and literally 1 min later, POP! We got to the hospital around 11:50. She's progressed completely on her own (no drugs needed!!). Got the epideral around 3:15ish. I think her reaction was like the greatest gift she could have been given.
Just wanted to get a quick update before the baby to let everyone know...

Have pictures up later today!!!

Ryan

Latest info...

If anyone is reading this...
Heather's still not had the baby and she's miserable. She hopes to have Tucker soon, but I think he's stretched out and comfy. He may be in for the long haul. I think he's acting like Uncle Rynnie and "running late" when he was born.

Will keep you updated!
Ryan

PS...how about Billy G!?!
Go Cats!

Latest update...

Heather is now 2cm and "half way" there according to Dr. We're hoping it's a LOT more than that! An Easter baby at latest was what we were hoping for. Looks like it won't be the case!
Keep you updated...

Update on Heather...

Just an update...
Heather is now 1 cm dialated and the dr. felt the baby's head. Last time this happened we waited a week for the water to break and 34 hours for Will to show up. No one rush on travel plans to visit...
Will try to keep you updated...

Soccer Will..

Here's Will's first attempts at soccer. I was shocked he can walk and talk (afraid he would take after Heather)! Looks like he has SOME coordination!!

Circus 07!

Will had some fun last weekend...
He had fun finding new "friends". Steve the Superclown is his favorite "hero" now. I don't think he blinked the whole time. When we left, I don't think he took a breath when he was talking about it. Guess he just sat and soaked it all in!
Click the picture if you'd like to see his pictures...(sorry he's so goofy)

Updates on Heather/Tucker

Well...things are good! Heather's had to go to the hospital a "few" times for some early contractions and it seems like we have an alien movie going on in our house the way he moves in her belly, but we've been good. She's been on medication to help with the contractions and things have been better since.
Hope all have been well with everyone!
Please keep in touch!
