Family of Four Fun

The W. family had our first outing as a family of four yesterday. It wasn't horribly exciting, we just went to the grocery store, but I'm thrilled it worked out so well. Ryan slept almost the whole time and Wesley walked the aisles with us and put the food into the cart. He was a great helper!

After we got home, Cathy, Sho and Kei came over. Kei really wanted to hold Ryan. He was so gentle with him. According to Cathy, Sho and Kei have worked out a system - Sho makes sure Wesley has someone to play with (himself) and Kei takes care of Ryan.

The three older boys tried to beat the heat by playing in the sprinkler and water table for a while. They love to fill up little buckets of water and throw them on each other! It was even more fun when Duane got the hose out and sprayed them all down! We ended water time with
ice cream sandwiches outside. If that doesn't scream "summer" I'm not sure what does.

Aunt Melissa and Kierstin came by for a visit too. Melissa got to coo over Ryan while Kierstin played with the cats and their toys. Basically, it made everyone happy.

And now for some completely unrelated news. If anyone in central Ohio is looking for a fun and inexpensive afternoon out, consider going to Johnny Steiner's annual concert on August 24th at 2:00 in the afternoon. Johnny is a fabulous entertainer and a wonderful person to know. Tickets are $10 at the door. There are no reservations and the place will fill up fast, so plan to get there early. I promise, you will not be disappointed. For more information, check out www.johnnysteiner.com.
